The adventurer, born survivor and bestselling author has now turned his attentions to writing this guide to achieving peak fitness through 30-minute express workouts. Along with the help of the virtually unknown fitness guru Natalie Summers, the Chief Scout has shared the exercises that have honed his body into the cut lines represented in the book. The book is a basic how-to. With a photo story feel to the moves, the exercises are well described in words as well as images. Broken into three sections, you can choose from Kettlebell Resistance training, Bodyweight workouts or Primal Power stretch sessions. Based around the current trend for HIT (High Intensity Training), the moves are designed to be completed in the shortest time possible but with maximum benefit. The book has also got a short section on how to fuel your workouts. This is not a programme for the meek, but for the determined.
