Rated 5 starsWell Worth the Money

Charts for progression are great for maintaining motivation. A great addition to exercise routine for active...

I started using this program 35 years ago when I was 21 and no longer had the time to work out with weights at the gym. The program involves several floor exercise routines followed by running (or bicycling or other aerobic exercise). Each routine has five steps of difficulty, which you reach at your own pace. The men's program includes more muscle-building exercises, the women's program stresses toning. No equipment...
