This is a perfect book for students or people who do not have much space (Mr Bronson did them in a prison cell) to work out and perhaps not the time or money (or do not want to waste the money) to spend towards a gym card. You need to do these sorts of exercises simply as it’s all-round fitness; it pushes you, you’ll be puffing and panting and sweating, but it’s all for your own benefit, so don’t cheat: do it and enjoy it. I’m 5ft 11in, I weigh 220lb and I feel as strong as did when I was 21 … There’s something deep inside me that pushes me on. Take with a grain of salt, of course, as the routines of a man who has loved in prison most of his life don't always translate to the rest of us, but worth the read.

You can hate the man, but you have to admit that he knows thing or two about keeping himself in a good shape even in his 60s. I like how it is written and found it very interesting to hear about him putting it into practice in a 'cage'.From his cell at Wakefield Prison, Charlie has complied this perfect guide to show you the best way to burn those calories, tone your abs and build your stamina giving you the know-how you need to be at the peak of mental and physical form. So, the gym is closed and the world is under lockdown, guess that means you’re free to eat whatever you want and avoid working out, right? Just questionable on some points, going all over the place and, as far as I am concerned, not really relevant. He adresses every part of the body (and I mean EVERY parts, to the point of being ridiculous and questionable -penis?

I was advised to stop lifting weights as I suffer with back problems so was afraid what I would do instead because I love keeping fit. But so many of us are using isolation as an excuse to forgo any diet or training responsibilities, which will only lead to heart-ache in the end. On multiple occasions Bronson expressed his disdain towards steroid use (keep in mind the goal of this program is to get fit, not big and muscular), yet it boggles my mind when I look at the woman (“Storm”) who models the exercises in this book, let’s just say she hasn’t been skipping any meals. According to Charles Bronson’s workout plan, just because you have limited space or are incarcerated doesn’t negate the need for a good warm-up.There are pictures of workouts, but only one for each workout and sometimes you look on the wrong picture or read the wrong text because of the books formatting. The notoriously vicious prisoner, Charles Bronson, curses the commercialism of today's fitness work and instructs readers on how to get stronger while confined with no more than a towel and a floor.
