Book Description

One of the most common excuses for not going to the gym is that there just isn't enough time to fit in a workout. Now, a busy life needn't be a barrier to exercising! In this easy-to-follow book, fitness trainer Zen Martinoli shows you how you can get a great workout in a fraction of the time you would spend at the gym. What's more, the workouts in this book can be performed anywhere and at any time. Brief, intense periods of activity will metabolise fat, increase levels of fitness and reduce stress levels. And with shorter workouts, the return on your investment is so much greater! This amazing and simple book is a must-have for those who want to keep fit but can't committ to spending hours in the gym. It is ideal for anyone travelling abroad who might not have access to gym facilities but wants to maintain their level of fitness while away. So get up and get moving - now there's no excuse!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent bodyweight exercise reference 22 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
I was really only looking for a book that would show me how to do body weight exercises, from the basic to the more advanced, and at a good price. It's true that we can find much information these days on the internet, but I find that having a book handy for reference is still unbeatable. I feel content knowing I can take this book with me wherever I go and utilise the exercises anywhere, any place. No need for electricity or internet! I am my own gym.
This book by Zen is exactly what I needed! Not only are the black and white photos pretty much self explanatory but the descriptions are easy to follow. The interval exercises are also easy to follow and I will definitely be utilising them.
I recommend this book for anyone who is stuck in a rut for exercising, having limited funds, time, or just not knowing where to start. I for one have started back exercising and watching what I eat for about a month now and the results are already excellent. I dislike gyms as they get very tedious, I have to travel and of course they cost a lot of money. Any one can get into good shape simply by following the exercises in these books or modifying them as you see fit. But of course it is of utmost importance to mind your nutrition.
All in all this is one of the cheapest books of it's kind available and contains some great information that won't clutter your brain. You can't go wrong here for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once in a while... 25 April 2012
By Craig G
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Read and put into practice as many books on fitness as I do and you soon arrive at the conclusion that you are reading the same book over and over again, which was the first impression I had when starting this book. However, as I continued reading, I was impressed by the way the information had been formatted, which made for a very easy, but informative experience. The benefits of this workout are full explained, with exercises showing relevant and clear illustrations.

In short, if I could only take one fitness book with me on any of my travels, it would be this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book! 26 July 2011
Format:Paperback
This really is a great book, for the first time I have understood more about the exercise that I am doing and how to get the best out of the work I put in, whether using the book's exercises at home or at the gym. The straight forward explanations of what is behind the workouts have been a real help and motivation and I would highly recommend 5 Minute Fitness to anyone trying to improve the quality of their workouts and to add variety.
