Get fit like 50 Cent! The phenomenally fit superstar rapper reveals his strategic six-week workout plan for achieving a ripped body—and developing the mental toughness to stay in shape for a lifetime.

Survival is a recurring theme of 50 Cent's lyrics and his life. That's why, with obesity rates soaring and fitness levels declining, he wants to give everyone an all-access pass to his premium plan for lifelong fitness. In Formula 50, the megasuccessful entertainer and entrepreneur unleashes the power of metabolic resistance training (MRT), the key ingredient that has helped him achieve the famously buff physique that makes his music videos sizzle.

Through MRT, 50 Cent's fitness plan breaks down the barriers between traditional weight training and cardio workouts, accelerating fat loss while building muscle and improving overall fitness. Designed for a six-week rollout for total mind-body transformation, the Formula 50 regimen builds both willpower and physical power. In addition to motivation, nutrition is another key element; listeners will discover the unique dietary combinations that fuel 50 Cent's workouts.

Coauthored with Jeff O'Connell, health journalist and editor-in-chief at Bodybuilding.com (the world's largest fitness website), the book delivers a payoff that goes beyond six-pack abs and flab-free pecs—this is a fitness plan that boosts energy, endurance, flexibility, and mobility. The result is a body you've always dreamed of—and the mind-set to attain the rest of your dreams.

      Though Curtis J. Jackson III, aka rapper 50 Cent, once had street cred, he lacks nutrition and exercise expertise and buries collaborators' contributions under his preening. After two discs full of aphorisms (e.g., "50 reasons you should start working out now"), listeners are confronted with fairly complicated material on nutrition and physiology. Jackson's championing of metabolic resistance training disguises the method's inappropriateness for those already lacking a decent level of fitness. Indeed, inexperienced listeners most needing nutritional, exercise, and fitness regimens will have ample opportunity to injure themselves working with free weights. Other audio titles that provide better starting points include Jillian Michaels's Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast, and Lasting Weight Loss and Gretchen Reynolds's The First 20 Minutes: Surprising Science Reveals How We Can Exercise Better, Train Smarter, Live Longer. Topical references will date this quickly, but what makes this unlistenable is writing that alternates between slangy and serious. Narrator Cary Hite does what he can but frequently sounds ridiculous. VERDICT Not recommended.--Douglas C. Lord, Connecticut State Lib., Middletown
