Excellent for adding to your current workout!

This book is a very good way to add some variety to your workouts, stretching and overall fitness. Good luck with your training.

Amazing!!

I've learned so many new stretches and workouts from this book. I also love the fact that it lays out a daily workout and meals. These guys really know what they are talking about!

Golden

excellent book. Gracie is one of the best legendary fighters alive and as the best he knows that is mastering the basics and fundamentals of things that get results not fancy tricks and complicated stuff for weight lifting and staying fit. The simple stuff is the most powerful as you approach mastery of it. All the fancy stuff is just hype and for show. as for you guys that complain about the book because it's about it being about fitness then maybe you should read the title of a book before you buy it might be a bright idea LOL

The Best Workout Guide--Period

I don't practice martial arts, but I found this book to be the most sensible, attractive, and easy-to-follow workout book I have used. Both the photos and instructions are so clear. I've seen Royce Gracie fight, and now I know where his incredible stamina comes from. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in awesome shape for life.

Ultimate book - Two Thumbs Up

This is the Ultimate book for conditioning. Royce Gracie shows a program that is directed to the Martial artist. With the help of James Strom who trains Keyshawn Johnson and Serena Wlliams, Royce goes on showing simple exercises that anyone can do, including some modern stuff. Most of the exercises you do not need any machines so it is perfect for people who do not have access to a gym or anything. There are no magical Wow exercises that no one can do. They are simple stuff with some twists and some clever variations. They point out specific tips that greatly hepld me do them properly.They start out by showing stretching with beginners and advanced and then show specific stretching for elite advanced fighters as well. The stretches are demonstrated in sequence so you can develop a routine. They then go on to providing you with workout routines for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Complete routines that anyone can follow. The layout and schematics of the book with its icons etc makes it very easy to follow. The programs is where other books have failed before but Royce and James give well structured complete programs.They then go on to cover the Gracie Diet and even include several weeks of Royce's own daily eating meals so you can see how to follow the diet.What I liked most about this book is that i can do just about everything that Royce showed, but I did not have a guide or a program to put the exercises together and that was were I failed and now I have it!This is a great book and I have to give it a big two thumbs up. Well done!
