Dear Mr. Basedow,

You are an incredible inspiration and it encourages me to see that you are serious about helping others.

I have combined the SIXPACK ABS program into my current workout routine and have learned a great deal about regulating my diet, etc. to burn off body fat on my abs. I'm well on my way to having a ripped 6 pack by summer!

Although I'm in excellent shape now, I am looking to gain more muscle mass as well as lower my body fat in order to enhance my appeal as a fitness model. To date, I've had 2 successful photo shoots and I'm eager to see how much better I'll be after using your services.

Sincerely,
Russ

John,

I began using the tapes several weeks ago and between the exercising and a little dieting I have managed to take off 10 lbs so....so far so good.

Thank you and I wish you and your family a healthy and happy holiday season.

Hi John,

I have lost 33 lbs in 8 months through proper exercise and the nutritional changes I've made. I am now ready to tackle the last 25 - 30 lbs to reach my goal of 215 - 220 lbs at 6' 4" tall.

I'm 50, and I work out aerobically 60 minutes / six days. I use weights to condition, not bulk up, three days a week.

In the recent past, I have been treated for slightly elevated blood pressure. I have gotten off of Hyzaar 12mg and Atalat 30 mg with the help of my Dr. due to the improvements I've made.

I have to tell you that I really am glad to see someone who is accomplished and sincere in their work and who also helps others.

Thanks for the straight talk and the follow through !! Much success to you in the future.

Best Regards,

Bill

John,

I have your Sixpack Abs and Fitness Made Simple videos with the accompanying nutritional and supplement materials. I just want to say that these products are even better than advertised and have exceeded my expectations. In a word, they are the best.

Thanks for your great products.

Dear John:

Really enjoyed your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've gotten your FMS video, the Sixpack Abs video, and the Nutritional Keys package. Seems to me you've been through the workout merry-go-round before finding the formula that works for you. I worked out years ago, took a break (about 15 years) and started again last year with Body for Life. I really appreciate the fine distinctions you make in the nutrition section of your tapes, and have had several "AH HA!" experiences since keeping a food log for the last few weeks.

Sincerely,

Michael

John,

First let me tell you I have experienced dramatic results with your "Sixpack Abs" tape. Thank you and, once again, your tape has had incredible results so far...I've been using it for almost two months.

Hi John,

I just wanted to start by telling you that I purchased your Fitness Made Simple video along with Sixpack Abs. When I started the program (5 - 6 months ago) I was around 218lbs. I am 5' 11"and 39 years old. My problem was primarily around the mid section. I looked like I was carrying a basketball under my shirt. I listened to your Supplement Audiotape and tried the following:

Adipokinetix stacked with Guggulbolic along with Syntrabol. I did this for roughly a little over a month and saw fine results. I do see some abs and can definitely feel them.

Thanks for listening and you truly are doing a wonderful job. I am really a totally different person both inside and out thanks to you.

Keep up the Great work.

FMS changed my life. I have to admit that it was really John's physique that made the initial impact. I've been working out for years but have never before achieved such a ripped state. Witnessing John's absolutely shredded condition provided all the motivation I needed! And the system then provided the tools.

After a few weeks of monitoring my nutritional intake and watching my carbs very closely something happened. My body began to burn the fuel more efficiently-I was getting hungry every few hours and I could almost feel my skin getting tighter. This was all the additional support I needed to complete a couple months of perfect nutrition and brief but focused workouts. And you see the results.

I'm all about living an extraordinary life. FMS has helped to give me the vehicle I need to actively and energetically pursue that life.

Hi John,

I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know that I've seen your TV ads constantly. I had really high cholesterol & since I've followed a diet that's been really similar to your plan I've got it down to normal. Since then I've lost 15 lbs by cutting calories.

I used to work out before & had a good shape going on, nothing like yours though, but after seeing you on the tube for months now I've decided to get back in shape. I'm going to have a body like yours. I can tell you're a sincere person just by you answering your emails personally.

I appreciate that very much. You seem like a really cool dude. I'm going to take some before & after photos so maybe I can make your web page.

Hi John,

I have your Fitness Made Simple and Six Pack Abs videos and enjoy the straight forward simple exercises in each. I have always been considered thin because of my height, but have truly transformed my body into a sleek, well toned physique. I have great upper body definition and my abs are just starting to show. I cannot fathom that the body I now see in the mirror is actually mine.

Thanks,
Jerry

John,

I want to make this quick so as to not take up your time. I just wanted to thank you for your videos, supplements, and website.

I am in the best shape of my life.

Hi John,

I have purchased your video and love the straightforward and easy to follow nutrition and training program. A program that finally makes my goals seem

attainable!

Thanks again for your guidance. I just wanted to send a picture and update you on my progress. I am now on week #6 with a weight of 166lbs and 12% body fat. I feel good and hard and seem to be maintaining my muscle well. I also seem to be getting a better handle on my carb intake.

PROGRESS SO FAR

Week 1 - 177lbs and 17% body fat

Week 4 - 169lbs and 14% body fat

Now Week 6 - 166lbs and 12% body fat

I have been training for about 12 years now and your program is the best out there, and, believe me, I have tried them all.

John,

I am a 47 year old warehouseman from Milwaukie, OR who decided to get in shape. I promised myself I would write you if the Fitness Made Simple and Nutritional Keys tapes worked for me. I am pleased with the results of your no nonsense, common sense program.

Thanks.

Dear John,

I hope this e-mail finds you well. It's been a while since I've written to you and I just wanted to check in and update you on my progress.

It's been just about two years since I first purchased your "Fitness Made Simple" and "Sixpack Abs" tapes. Your training and diet philosophies have become a part of my life now, but I still pop in those tapes every now and then for a little inspiration.

I can't begin to tell you what a huge difference working out has made in my life over the past couple of years. Not just physically, but in all areas and
levels of my life. It's the one thing I do now that centers me and helps me deal with all the stresses and little drama's in my life. Thankfully, the gym is the one place I truly feel at home now. I will be 41 in January and people that have known me all my life keep telling me that I'm the best shape of my life. That's truly a wonderful feeling!

Thanks again, John, for taking the time to read my e-mail. I always appreciate your help and support.

Sincerely,
Pat

HELLO JOHN,

I BOUGHT YOUR FMS VIDEO AND I AM VERY INSPIRED BY EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND DO. I HAVE BEEN STUDYING NUTRITION FOR SOME TIME AND, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, IT CAN BE VERY CONFUSING WITH ALL OF THE CONSTANT CONTRADICTIONS. ALSO, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED WITH CARDIO WORKOUTS AND VERY LITTLE WEIGHT TRAINING, BUT NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME YOUR VIDEO IS HELPING ME PUT THE TWO TOGETHER CORRECTLY AND I AM ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I AM 5'10", 175LBS, AND 46 YEARS OLD. I AM NOT LOOKING TO LOSE OR GAIN MUCH WEIGHT, BUT RATHER GET INTO THE BEST SHAPE I CAN FOR MY AGE GROUP.

FOR NOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO AND YOUR SOUND ADVICE AND INSPIRATION.

REGARDS,

DARRELL

Dear Mr. Basedow,

I first was introduced to you in an infomercial. I was very impressed with how you came across and your belief in your product. As we all age we all have to do more to keep looking good, and feeling good and I believe you may have the secret.

I really don't know what to say but congratulations! After reviewing all of the pictures on the web site I have to say that your ARE the best. You can tell that you have been in front of the camera much more than the others.

You seem relaxed and happy to be there. Why not? After working so hard to achieve what you have it is important to let people see it. It's the same with those who work hard to achieve the home, car, etc. they enjoy.

I know I will never meet you, but from the many who would like to let me say thank you. Thank you for motivating so many who need it.

Sincerely,

Gary

Hey John,

Thank you very, very much for the terrific FAT BURNING WORKOUT. I just received it today and I pre-screened it. It's very well done. I like that
it's no bullshit.

This will be a big part of my 2003 routine, starting on January 1st. I received it just in time!

I like the way you segment the exercises. I also like the way you tell us what we will expect to do (including sets). This is rare among exercise
videos. I like when I know what to expect. Also, I like the fire sound effect.

I'm glad you include leg exercises. Many guys don't bother with legs and I never knew why.

I learned a lot: muscle doesn't take up as much space as fat and muscle still burns fat when you're resting! Also, I like what you said about spillover. I tend to think that each exercise only involves one set of muscles, but I'm glad I was wrong.

Thanks again! I hope to be a living example of your workouts.
