Book Reviews of Finally Fit at 50
Book Review: It Will Convict You of the Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
Some fitness books are easy to ignore, easy to dismiss. This book is not. It is DANGEROUS and should be avoided by poor timid souls. If you count yourself among the growing ranks of complacent Baby Boomers who have said "Enough!" to poor health, this book will inspire you and convict you of the truths in your own life. Porter's journey is filled with comedy, tragedy and inspiration. His transformation has spurred thousands of us to "Cross the Abyss" and strike out in pursuit of a better Life. This should be a mandatory companion book to the Over 40 Crowd who are embarking on the Body for Life Transformation Challenge. He explains how his physical tranformation spurred an intellectual and spiritual change as well. Buy five copies, keep one and give the other four away to friends and co-workers. I laughed and cried but most of all...I get it. Yes Porter, I finally get it. Thank You.Book Review: Blundt, to the point and TRUE. Finally Fit at 50 is not just for 50 somethings! GET this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is for anyone trying to change (and at any age)! Porter's writing style is very Blunt but his pure honesty and 'in your face' approach can really help you to stop making excuses and take action once and for all. To decide you WILL conquer the detrimmental habits that are holding you back! There is something for everyone in this book. My biggest challenge is to not overeat (including my BFL free day) I gained a different perspective from a 'real life' person who has battled his inner demons, made mistakes and learned from them (even if it took a while) This is a story of Transformation, good advice and inspiration to start AND MAINTAIN a healthy, strong and fit lifestyle. Get this book. Re-read the chapters you need to get into your head & refer back to them often. This little book has done wonders for my overindulging habit!Book Review: Change Your Mind, Change Your Body!
Summary: 5 Stars
Porter Freeman certainly has found the "Fountain of Youth". I really admire Porter's journey from Fat to Fit. Most people already know and have heard over a thousand times the ole saying, "Just, "Eat right and exercise". Over ten years ago, I read Bill Phillips' book, Body-for-LIFE, and it has changed my life completely. However, Porter Freeman is mentioned several times in the book, really inspired me to get off my a$$ and take the challenge too. Losing the weight was great, kinda like seeing an ole friend that you haven't seen in years. Maybe, since high school!!! Great Job with your book, Porter... Keep up the good work, and I hope that you write another to encourage millions more to do the same...

Book Review: Home-Spun Wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really sad when Muscle Media ceased publication....No more Porter.
This book made up for that in a big way. His down home advice is relevant not only in fitness and nutrition, but in every day living. I feel like Porter is sitting with me in my back yard (perhaps drinking a beer) and ruminating over life. I think that Mark Twain and Porter Freeman would have really hit it off. Read this book slowly and savor it. Indeed, Porter Freeman is a true Southern gentleman.

Book Review: It's all about the "WHY" not necessarily the "how" -- a funny, moving, and inspirational read
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to learn how to train and a proven plan for physique transformation success, pick up Bill Phillips' "Body for Life".
When the going gets tough (and it will!), pick Porter Freeman's "Finally Fit at 50" to remind you WHY you are working hard & eating right. The WHYs will propel you through the 84 days. If you haven't listed the reasons why you MUST change, your brain will find the reasons why NOT to finish. PICK UP THIS BOOK and READ IT!
Thanks Porter for a true gem!
