Intelligent Fitness: The Smart Way to Reboot Your Body

Without Simon Waterson's help and guidance, I literally wouldn't have made it through fifteen years of playing James Bond ... It's been an honor working with him." -- Daniel CraigBasically a Mens health issue in book form, and that is not a compliment. The usual Hollywood 5 minute workout, toxins and kale shakes propaganda with no science behind it. Also typical dedicating 90% on workouts and only 10% of the whole book on nutrition (which will make the bigger difference) When Daniel Craig emerged from the sea in his first James Bond film Casino Royale, the actor we knew had been replaced by a lean, muscular killing machine who made the previous 007s look touchingly vulnerable by comparison. Thankfully, Triumph Books came in clutch by kindly gifting us with this awesome training manual in exchange for an honest review! It features exclusive photographs of Hiddleston’s workouts with Waterson taken by official Bond photographer Greg Williams. The best thing is that he makes it so doable for all of us common folk - cuz I can tell you, I ain't no Hollywood star that has the time and resources to focus all my energy on fitness. Thankfully, this trainer understands that and provides a straightforward, effective solution!

Hollywood’s top trainer on why any man can have A-list abs

Good book for beginners. This is a good principle: “train for performance, not aesthetics. The aesthetics will follow”

Here are seven ways to be more Bond on the beach this summer 1. Don’t think about what you look like – focus on the task Good general info and examples of individual workouts but I would have liked to have seen an overview of how each workout fits into the big picture of the actors program. For example Daniel Craig's upper body workout was shown as 2 days per week but it wasn't explained how this fits into Daniels rest of his program. I.e. how many days lower body? How many days on other activities such as recovery, martial arts, stunt training etc. This was perpetuated throughout. The core of Waterson’s approach is to mix short bursts of cardiovascular exercise with resistance training, in a ratio of five strength moves to two minutes of cardio. The method, he says, which is based on his training in the military, is hugely versatile.
