A lot of people would like to lose weight and a lot of people would like to get in shape.  Quite a few would like to do both, and most of us would like to have six pack abs.  It’s usually a lot of work to do either, and it’s got to be twice as much work to do both.

Brad Gouthro, creator of Awaken the Abs Within, says it’s not that hard, and if you use his program, you can lose belly fat, get some tight abs, and do it without starvation diets, hours of boring cardio workouts, or having to do thousands of crunches.  That sounded interesting, so I thought I’d take a closer look and see if the program is worthwhile.  Is Awaken the Abs Within a scam, or is it a good program?

Awaken the Abs Within Overview

Awaken the Abs Within is a downloadable product that comes in the form of a number of PDF ebooks. These books can be read on any computer device, including a smartphone, and you can download them immediately after purchase.  That means you can get started getting in shape right away without having to wait for the mailman to deliver.

When you purchase Awaken the Abs Within, you’ll receive the following books:

• The main Awaken the Abs Within book
• Workout Program sheets
• Abs Workout Program sheets
• Cardio Workout Program sheets
• Before and After Progress Report
• Exercise Database
• Awaken the Abs Within Supplement Guide
• Pre-Program Checklist

The main Awaken the Abs Within book is pretty substantial; the other books are just a few pages each, and the worksheets and journals could have been combined into a single book.  Still, marketing is what it is, and the more things you can offer for the price, the more likely the buyer is to think they’re getting more for their money.

The journals and progress reports are simply books where you can keep track of what you’re doing and when.  The Supplement Guide is a short 7 page book where Brad tries to persuade you to purchase some nutritional supplements.  The Exercise Database, at 43 pages, has images and a short description of each of the exercises described in the book.

The main Awaken the Abs Within book runs a whopping 186 pages; it’s quite a long read.  It’s not necessarily a boring read, though, and the program is a somewhat complex one.  Remember – Awaken the Abs Within is a combination program that includes both a diet regimen and an exercise program, so there’s going to be a lot of content there.

Chapters in the Awaken the Abs Within book include:

• Introduction
• Secret #1 – Know Thy Enemy (Body Fat)
• Secret #2 – Control Your Body’s Hormones
• Secret #3 – Implementing The “TQT” Principle To Create A Meal Plan
• Secret #4 – Boost Your Metabolism For Life
• Secret #5 – Detox Your Body For Fat Loss
• Secret #6 – Power Of Belief – The Mental/Relationship Aspect of Fat Loss
• Secret #7 – Creating A Proper Fat Burning & Abdominal Exercise Plan
• Conclusion

Every author of diet books has their own theories of what works best, and Brad is of the “eat meals often” school. That’s fine; some go with that and others avoid it, just as some programs say you should skip breakfast and others, such as this one, suggest that you should never miss that particular meal.

As with most diets, Awaken the Abs Within recommends that you avoid foods that aren’t overly helpful – alcohol, sugar, processed foods, most grains and junk foods.  What you want is a good mix of protein, fat, a bit of carbs, and lots of water and vegetables.

The Awaken the Abs Within program gives you a fair amount of latitude regarding what you eat, though the book does include a sample meal plan for a week.  You’ll have to tweak this plan to your own taste as well as to your own body, as this program does involve keeping track of how much you eat and how many calories you consume.

If you’re one of those people who wants a specific meal plan that tells you exactly what to eat for each meal for every day of the program, the Awaken the Abs Within system may not be for you.

If you’re math-phobic, Awaken the Abs Within is probably not the program for you, as there’s going to be a lot of calculation and journal-keeping involved in keeping track of what you ate, when you ate it and what kind of workout you’ve done and when.

Nearly half of the book is devoted to the exercise program, and it’s fairly rigorous.  Brad believes in High Intensity Interval Training, rather than cardio, though you’ll be doing a bit of HIIT, a bit of cardio, some resistance training, and, of course, a regular routine of exercises especially created for your abdomen.

The exercises are straightforward and well explained, though you will have to have access to some gym equipment, such as free weights, dumbells, kettlebells and a Swiss ball.  If you belong to a gym, this will be easy for you, but otherwise, you’ll likely need to find a source of these items for your exercises.

All in all, the Awaken the Abs Within program is solid and well-written, though many buyers may find it a bit too complex for them.  There are many exercises, lots of routines and plenty of things to keep track of using this system.  Still, if you stick with it and follow the guide precisely, I have no doubt that you’ll get good results.

Pros and Cons of Awaken the Abs Within

Pros

• Well-written book
• Exercises are well described
• Good nutritional detail
• Fairly priced

Cons

• Too many books (22 in all!)
• Upsells for nutritional supplments
• Program may be too complicated for many buyers

Awaken the Abs Within Summary

While Awaken the Abs Within is a solid, well-written program, it may require too much reading and too much mathematical calculation for some buyers.  In addition, you’ll need access to gym equipment to perform the exercises. On the other hand, the workout program and diet plan both appear to be solid and well thought out, and if you follow this program, you’ll likely see some great results.

Awaken the Abs Within is good, but it may not be for everyone.  Recommended.
