Format:Paperback
A Useful guide covering a broad range of topics such as nutrition, planning circuit sessions and a wide range of body circuit exercises however in typical military style its terse with brief descriptions of the exercises although there are a lot of clear photographs. The book concentrates on the "nitty gritty" taking a practical approach and not burdening the reader with unecessary fitness science. Anyone who's getting into fitness and wants to gain some good basic knowledge of training technques would do well the buy this book.

Format:Paperback
I recieved the book this morning and have already read it all. It gives a structured 8 week circuit training schedule, including diet. If you would like to have a personally made circuit i.e. if you are training for a specific sport, there are guides on how to do this. Also there are loads of exercises for each area of the body which have picture diagrams and detailed explanations. I personally am going for my Potential Royal Marines Course in around 2 months so I will be using some of the dieting information plus using the exercises given to build my own circuits. Great book, does exactly what it's meant to do. Plus, No Gym Equipment is needed!

Format:Paperback
It gives an 8 week programme of diet, warm ups, stretching and exercise to develop all-round fitness. It requires minimum equipment (I only have dumbells) and can be done in a confined space at home. Ideal for busy people and reps on the road. You'll see improvement in 4 weeks.

Down the pub, I remember once asking a former PE teacher how I could lose weight and get fit. He said 'Eat less and exercise more'. I said 'I was afraid you'd say that'. Read more

Good, but assumes you're a couch potato reader
Definitely a good book, takes a good approach instilling some good hard facts and encouraging a lifestyle change approach rather than a get fit quick one. Read more

Don't buy this book
This book is not a circuit training book. It requires a huge investment in equipment, contrary to one of the reviews below. It is a muddled book and it is hard to follow. Read more
