Now world-leading fitness trainer Simon Waterson - who trained Halle Berry - brings you seven focussed circuit-training programmes tailored for specific needs - prepare your body for a skiing holiday, build up serious strength, tone up all over, get great abs, burn fat fast and more!

Circuit training is the system used by anyone who needs to build serious levels of fitness - athletes, soldiers, climbers and explorers. This book will give you the body you've always dreamed of.

Following on from Commando Workout, which used a four-week programme to build fitness, 30 Minute a Day Body Challenge contains six 30-minute circuits based on military training techniques. The workouts target: • lower body • upper body • cardio • abs • plyometric (speed, strength and endurance) • the ultimate circuit challenge.

Celebrity trainer and ex-Commando Simon Waterson then provides seven four-week programmes combining the circuits in different ways so you can achieve very specific results: • fat loss • ab attack • total toning • serious strength • ski and trek workout • ball sport skill • active pregnancy.

Simon's real-life Commando experiences form a backdrop to the programme, which will also increase mental endurance, give you a sense of personal challenge and achievement, increase speed, power, agility and reaction times and improve muscle tone and endurance.

Industry Reviews

'Simon's military background reflects strongly in his career as a personal trainer. He is highly motivated and disciplined and has a vast knowledge of nutrition and sports medicine.' PIERCE BROSNAN * "The top UK personal trainer" SUNDAY TIMES, STYLE * 'In the world of celebrity fitness, personal trainers are fast becoming stars in their own right. And one name that is dropping off well-glossed lips with regularity is Simon Waterson.' HELLO * "Pierce Brosnan's personal trainer will get you in shape in just four weeks" ESQUIRE * 'the man who honed Halle Berry's body can help you drop a whole dress size...In just a month, you will see a drop in body fat and an increase in lean muscle. Your cardiovascular fitness will be greater, as will your strength and endurance.' DAILY MAIL * 'I'm a longtime exerciser, starting in the U-S military back in the 1960s. Being over 50 now, I've been working to find a routine that includes cardio, strength and functional fitness. I think I finally found what I was looking for in your book. It's excellent. The strength work, especially, is putting me on the road to more balanced fitness. "Keep it Simple" is the best fitness philosophy I've read - and believe me I've got a ton of fitness info and books' Rob Starbuck, Madison, Wisconsin,USA
