Publisher's Synopsis
How to get fit anywhere: what really works and why you don't need to train as hard as you think.
"New year. New me." Did you sign up for a gym in January and then only went twice?
Do you look at bodybuilders and think "If only I could be 50% as fit"?
Have you caught yourself giving up training because you're too busy?
In fact, all you need is proper bodyweight training. If it sounds scary - it really shouldn't.

Most of us do not need grueling training and restrictive diets. Our lives are busy, we need to stay fit and healthy, and, let's face it, proper bodybuilding (not bodyweight!) training can wreak havoc on a body.
