Title: Not for the faint-hearted!
Product review: This is definitely high-intensity -- if you're willing to start a 12-week workout that has you doing 660 abdominal exercises on the first day of the second week, this is the book for you.A couple of caveats:1. You should be in shape already. The reviewer who said the "beginner's" workout is too hard for most people was absolutely right.2. You should already be a strong swimmer to be able to accomplish the amount of swimming prescribed.3. You'd better have plenty of time available to work out. Workouts like:Run 3 miles. Swim 100m freestyle sprint, then do 25 pushups, 25 ab exercises (repeat swimming/calisthenics 10 times!). Run 3 more miles.are not exactly the fodder of the "Easy Lunchtime Workout" articles in most fitness magazines!4. There are a couple of omissions, like how long you should rest between sets. And you'll be doing a *lot* of sets. Fortunately the publisher has a website with a discussion area where Lt. Smith ans! wers questions like this regularly.
