This review is hard to categorize; it appears to be a review of a fitness product, but this product also promises weight loss.  Actually, that makes sense, because weight loss and fitness go hand in hand.  Still, most people who buy fitness books are trying to get lean and build muscle, while those who want to buy weight loss products are simply interested in dropping a few pounds.  The truth, of course, lies in the middle.

Old School New Body is a training and fitness program that promises to help you get fit and lose weight, and they say you can do it in about 90 minutes a week.  The secret, they say, came from an “old school” trainer, and they’ve updated his methods to bring them into the twenty-first century.   They also say that this program will work for anyone.  Is Old School New Body a scam?

Old School New Body Overview

Old School New Body was written by Steve Holman, a longtime personal trainer, and his wife, Becky.  She’s had her share of weight issues over the years, especially after having children.  Steve encountered a guy a few years back who had been a trainer in the 1950s, and in looking through that guy’s notes, he discovered that training methods back then were a lot different than the methods of today.

Those “old school” methods involves shorter workouts that were quite intense, and Steve discovered that these methods actually produce better results than what a lot of people are teaching today.  Thus, Old School New Body was born.

The course is sold in downloadable PDF format, which makes the books ideal for just about anyone.  You can download them at any time of day and they’re readable on just about any device, including a smartphone.  Along with the main Old School New Body book, you’ll also receive the following bonus books:

• F4X Quick Start Workout Guide
• Ultimate Fat Burning Secrets
• Ultimate Muscle Burning Secrets
• Ultimate Sex and Anti-Aging Secrets
• Ultimate Health and Happiness Secrets

Most of the bonus books are fairly brief, and several of them seem geared towards getting you to buy other products.  The F4X Quick Start Workout Guide, however, is probably the most useful of the bonus books.  While only 15 pages, it contains all of the workout information from the main Old School New Body without all of the fluff.

Don’t get me wrong, the “fluff” is the entire premise of the book.  It explains why you’re going to be working out the way that you are, and why Steve and Becky believe that this workout plan is better than the one you’ve been using.  But you don’t need to read that part over and over.  You’ll understand it after the first read.  That’s why the F4X Quick Start guide is helpful, as it’s got the meat and potatoes of the Old School New Body system all in one short book.

The main Old School New Body book is 101 pages that explains the F4X system (short for Focus-4 Exercise.)  The book not only explains how the F4X system can help you get fit and lose weight while working out less than you have been in the past, but it also explains how you’ll have less back, elbow and joint pain.

The main difference between the workout plan in the Old School New Body book and your existing workout is in how you work the muscles.  The plan here involves brief, but intense, workouts using less weight than you’re used to using.   What you do instead is use a lower weight, but workout in several short spurts with only a few seconds (less than a minute) rest in between each session.  Then you rest for a few minutes and move on to the next muscle group.

Because you’re only working four muscle groups in all, your overall workout time will be fairly brief – they estimate about 90 minutes a week.  This, of course, is for the basic workout.  The Old School New Body course includes two additional workout plans that are far more intense and somewhat more time consuming.

The nice thing about the Old School New Body system is that it can work for everyone, regardless of your age, your dedication or your interest.  Want to get in shape and lose a little weight?  The basic program will help you do that.  Want to develop a body that will have people starting at you in public?  You can do that, too.   It’s up to you.

The book covers diet a bit, though it’s not a diet book, per se, and doesn’t include recipes.  It does touch on the importance of eating properly and drinking a lot of water.  You’ll also find some recommendations about dietary supplements, too, and links to where you can buy them.

One nice thing about the basic Old School New Body workout is that you won’t have to have a lot of equipment.  You will need access to a bench with adjustable incline and some dumbells.  The advanced workouts will be best suited to those who have access to a gym, either by having a membership or by owning some weights and a bench.

Old School New Body Summary

Is Old School New Body a scam? No, it’s a well-written book with a series of workouts that are tailored so that anyone can use them.  The basic workout should provide good fitness results if followed correctly and they don’t require that you own fancy equipment to do it.  The more intense workouts are for the more serious-minded, but you can decide if you want them or not.
