Customer Reviews

Bronco Fitness
Well, I've been lifting weights for approximately 7 years and doing other sorts of fitness and strength training such as kicknoxing for about 2-3 years but this book gave me a new change of direction.

It's good both for experienced and inexperienced people, it's basically about getting back to basics. I didn't particularly like some of the exercises, but I guess this book is based around having no equipment, but I did like the methods of training and quite a few of the basic exercises such as burpees, squats, press ups, etc. and some of the techniques.

It's not an encyclopedia of fitness or anything like that, it's aimed at people who are looking at getting fit without going to a gym, with the added bonus of having no equipment requirements.

Well worth a read, especially for £8. If nothing else, Bronco's drawings and stories are worth a read!

This book is far better than the 'SAS fitness' type ones I have seen, it focusses more on the exercises and is good for people who want to exercise and more experienced people looking at getting back to basics or a change in training routines.

Solitary Fitness
Make sure you buy the 2007 version, it has reviews from people who have used Solitary Fitness in their own homes, this book is the beginning of your fitness campagne there are some great Role Models included in the book, its an amazing read.

MY NEW HONED AND TONED BODY
Well, what can I say now that my body isn't carrying much fat! I began this course some two months ago and gave it my all, followed every routine religiously and now I have reaped the rewards.

This regime of workouts is an inexpensive way of toning and honing your body. I can understand how some people might fall by the wayside when it comes to this sort of strict workout, but you have to be tough in yourself. And like the cliche, softies need not apply, this applies equally as well with this mode of body workout that sculptures you from head to toe.

So here I am, brand new and ready to pursue the rest of the course with gusto. I really have a lot to thank Mr Bronson for, although I'm sure he would rather be free in order to pursue his own dreams.

My whole way of eating has changed,which came about naturally and without any applied effort. Years of fat buildup dropped away to reveal my old self beneath. I really look forward to the exercises and feel that I now have more energy, although at first I felt very tired after each exercise routine.

True, this is not a workout for wannabe body builders. It is, though, a practical way to tackle and change your unhealthy lifestyle, which it has done for me.
