Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
If you're asking the question, 'Is this the ONLY way to get in shape?' when faced with the prospect of long, slow, distance workouts for building endurance and burning fat, the answer is a resounding NO! There are so many alternative ways to do endurance work, you could fill a book - and in fact, here it is.
This well-written, well-organized handbook is truly your A-to-Z guide to building a high level of conditioning and endurance. It includes: 1) a concise presentation of the physiology of training; 2) the general concepts you need to put together effective programs; 3) numerous exercises within 12 different modalities (e.g., agility, sandbag, grappling, bodyweight); and 4) myriad sample workouts and routines. 208 pp.

This is a very good book. It will help you get conditioned to the max. The book is about a balance of both functional strength AND endurance. It is therefore a useful reference to almost any athlete or person. If you're a big, powerful, lifter it will help you get conditioned so that you aren't so easily winded and low on endurance. If you aren't strong it will make you much stronger, without losing flexibility or getting "inflated" muscles. It gives tons of methods as well as training plans, details and examples to help you apply what you read. The chapters give lots of variety and there's 1 or 2 on nutrition that are very useful too. This would also be an outstanding book for those involved in MMA or Strongman, giving MMA fighter the perfect combination of real world strength and endurance for maximum performance in the cage and giving the amateur to intermediate strongman the conditioning needed to complete a competition plus helps get rid of the imbalances that may occur with conventional training. The book covers too many topics to list; it isn't just a list of cool exercises. It gets into the science too. There is an incredible amount of information within this book, and it is a legitimate, quality book that you will not outgrow. Pick it up and become a well-rounded, conditioned athlete, ready for almost any physical endeaver.

If you're looking to compete in long distance events, this book probably won't help you much, but if you need to get in shape for any type of sport or activity that involves a lot of short, repeated bursts of activity, you're bound to find something in this book that can help you. The type of training outlined in the book can also help you with everyday tasks that require a combination of strength, power and endurance.
It's also ideal for coaches in most sports, too.
I've done some group personal training at my gym (as a trainee, not a trainer) that included many of the same kinds of workouts and exercises that are in the book (circuit training, burpees, sled pulling/pushing, etc.). Though that type of work is very hard, I also think it's more interesting than walking on a treadmill for 45 minutes. This book gave me lots of new ideas for workouts I can do on my own, either in the gym or at home.

Brian Jones is a guru of tactical and combative training and conditioning. His book has laid the foundation for the training methods I have used to train one the top S.W.A.T units in the world. It can be used by anyone regardless of level of fitness.
