The ultimate at-home, no-equipment-required, get-in-shape-fast fitness program designed especially for women, by the popular and ultra-fit Special Forces trainer/author of You Are Your Own Gym. Forget about muscle-depleting and boring cardio exercises, ladies. Forget long hours at the gym using expensive and complicated machines that promise to isolate and "fix" body parts. As Special Forces trainer and exercise guru Mark Lauren explains, simple, at-home exercises that use your own body weight to build real-world strength are the key to a lean and capable body. And, ironically, a few pounds of muscle gain is the best and fastest route to overall weight loss, youthful strength, and the body you've always wanted! Offering three levels of 30 minute, 3 times a week exercise programs--all the routines use six basic and easy-to-follow movement categories--Lauren's book gets results quickly: toned arms, flatter abs, tighter buns, leaner legs, and curves in all the right places. Urging women to start thinking of themselves as athletes as the way to a truly exceptional physique, his exercises are designed not simply to help you "lose" the fat on your belly or thighs. Instead, and in his military parlance, he'll help us "engage it for permanent termination!"
