Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent progressive training Comment: The book is self-explanatory and depicts step-by-step the progress of the training. Nevertheless, it does also throw in some more variations of workouts so that the reader never gets bored with the same workout. Customer Rating: Summary: Just trust it and follow the simple directions. Comment: This book provides a logical progression of workouts and no gimmicks. As a previous reviewer noted, it is poorly edited--but not in a way that compromises comprehension. You need a pull-up bar and a place to run 20, 40, 60, and 100 meter sprints to complete the work-outs. Other reviewers seem to be emphasizing that you need dumbells, but only their harder workouts call for weights (and they don't have to be dumbells, for example they could be milk jugs filled with water or sand). Anyway, if you complete each of their three six-week schedules in succession, you will be very fit indeed. Customer Rating: Summary: A good Way for Overall Fitness Comment: This book gives a simple but effective way to get in shape, using calisthetics, weights, running and boxing to achieve it. It offers three levels of training, all basically the same format but with different intensity levels. I have used this book several times over the last 2 years and enjoy the workouts. I break up the daily routines into 3 segments-the calisthetic part in the morning, the weights in the afternoon and the ad work in the evening. On running days, a similar pattern-running in the morning, weights at lunch and ab work in the evening. The routines don't take long that way but adds to fat-burning and muscle-building without exhaustion. There are some negative points: they show exercises that they don't use and suggest exercises that they don't show. But overall, I recommend this book to everyone who wants to get in shape without joining a gym. Customer Rating: Summary: Good workout, poor book Comment: This is one of those books that makes you wonder if anyone attempted to proof or edit it before publication. A couple of the exercises referred to in the workouts cannot be found in the exercise descriptions. Sometimes, the written descriptions of the exercises contradict the accompanying photographs. Don't get me wrong, the routines provide tough and credible workouts. But reading the book requires some interpretation and assumptions. Customer Rating: Summary: Good All Around Book Comment: I bought this book 2 years ago and still use the routines. This is a good book for beginner to intermediate trainers who want variety. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get in shape quickly and effectively. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: From coast to coast Boot Camp classes have become big at fitness centers. Men, and especially women, are attracted to the "no frills" and high energy approach of this military style workout. In the summer of 1998, the Five Star Fitness team sponsored a series of fitness classes in the resort town of East Hampton, New York, called the Five Star Fitness Boot Camp. The Official Five Star Fitness Boot Camp Workout shows readers how to build a strong foundation for lifelong fitness. It is written for men and women, and the workouts can be performed by a wide range of fitness levels. Detailed, progressive 6-week workout plans for beginner, intermediate, and advanced workout warriors are featured. Additional sections include: stretching and flexibility, weight training, field exercises, boxing, and calisthenics. Based upon the fitness sensation of Summer 1998, this book captures the spirit of the Boot Camp craze with style and verve.
