LL Cool J works out hard and it shows. Most of his fans believe the veteran MC looks better today than he ever did. Now, James Todd Smith and his personal trainer are providing the general public with the blueprint on how to get in pristine shape with their new fitness book, LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout.

If you’ve seen LL Cool J on stage, one thing is for sure: he’s got a body that’s built to perform. Bulging biceps. Rippled abs. And a ferocious level of endurance that allows him to put on an unrelenting show. Think about it… LL Cool J is constantly on the road, in the studio, performing, acting and making public appearances. Which means he probably has even less free time than you do. Yet he has managed to maintain a stellar body for years, all by using the smartest, most innovative workout possible.

Rapper and actor LL Cool J's Platinum Workout reveals his secret for what he refers to as a "platinum body." Written with his personal trainer, Dave "Scooter" Honig, the book highlights a fitness program for men and women interested in losing weight and also keeping fit. "This workout program changed my life — both physically and emotionally," LL Cool J said. "Now I want to share with others how they can achieve their own personal version of a platinum body." The book features the "Platinum Body" regimen, an accessible fitness program for both men and women created by LL Cool J and his personal trainer, Dave "Scooter" Honig. The authors introduce readers to the basics of fitness and nutrition and offer a variety of programs of increasing intensity, including: Bronze Body, a five-week program to take two inches off your waist; Silver Body, a four-week program to achieve a 50 percent increase in energy levels; Gold Body, an overall program of increased intensity, and Platinum Body, the program used by LL Cool J himself. LL Cool J has a unique workout program that helps him maintain peak physical conditioning to meet the rigorous demands of his schedule and live performances. When it comes to platinum, LL Cool J is an expert.

In the end, the results spoke for themselves. I learned a lot about conquering that inner resistance that comes before you embark on any great undertaking — I learned that if I stick to it, I can make things happen, God willing. I found out that if you really want to do something, anything is possible. — LL Cool J
