This review is from: Hard Core Fitness: Training Developed in Some of America's Toughest Prisons (Paperback)
This would make the 3rd book on "prison workouts" I've read thus far(the other 2 being Solitary Fitness and Convict Conditioning.)
This is not so much a book with a workout routine as it is an encyclopedia of bodyweight exercises that can be done with minimal equipment. It also covers a number of techniques for adding intensity to the various moves. It does offer some sample circuit training routines, but is mostly a compendium of exercises. If you are a beginner this book will probably confuse you, but if you are more advanced and looking for some new moves to add to your repertoire, this is a good book for the price.

This review is from: Hard Core Fitness: Training Developed in Some of America's Toughest Prisons (Paperback)
Must agree with previous poster. Book has mostly descriptions of calistenics movements, methods,and some picture examples of individuals performing them in what looks to be a cell. Descriptions of conditiong exercises, and methods you probably haven't seen before. No real set or rep guidelines. Book is hardcore and looks badass.

This review is from: Hard Core Fitness: Training Developed in Some of America's Toughest Prisons (Paperback)
I have participated in a wide variety of athletics my entire life. I also enjoy studying and applying various training techniques and methods to my workourts. I bought this book looking for different body weight exercises. First you should know this is a self published book. The author is a former inmate, who was in a facility with limited equipment so he trained using many different variations of basic callisthenics. I'll give him credit for writing the book, getting certified in personal training, and getting his life on track.
However, the book lacks good photos or even in-depth descriptions of exercises. The descriptions are basic, offer no tips or instruction on form. If you are looking for a good book on body weight exercises, this isn't it. Anybody who's gone through public school phys ed knows the exercises in this book. Better to get Fit Deck for $10 or "Body Weight Exercises for Extrodinary Strength" by Brad Johnson for some really hard and unique body weight exercises. Bottom Line: dissapointing waste of money.
