Maybe the title of this review is a bit of an exaggeration.  But I did notice that even as I sat reading the book on my Kindle, I was doing part of what is needed to make these exercises effective.  How often do you get that from a fitness or weight loss book?  Maybe you will notice yourself doing it too.This is the second book in the 60 Seconds System and is in part based on martial arts systems.  There are several things I like about this one.First is that I will actually be able to use the system included within.  I have a bum shoulder so there are some things I can't do.  As is, I will still be able to perform these without any added modifications and get the benefit.  I can use these to build up my upper body strength which is something I sorely lack due to injuries.Second these exercises using the system as described mean I can easily add them to the first set of 60 second exercises when I am ready.  And I still won't be adding much to my day's schedule.  They can still be done just about anywhere making them easy to fit into your schedule.I also like that these are based on both martial arts moves and weight lifting moves including the added modification for increasing difficulty.  Just something about that is so cool as I am such a long way from my own days of martial arts classes.This particular book doesn't stop at just the basic set of exercises either.  There are some suggestions for how to take other exercises than the ones included and get the most from them according to the system.  Even better are the suggestions for using daily chores within this Hard Body system.  Almost like getting a bonus book added on.All of this means these fitness moves are not just for someone who is already pretty fit and just wanted to get that extra toning and body hardening as the title would suggest.  The system is also just fine for older people who might have some injuries that have gotten in the way of traditional exercise regimes or for people who have just finally woken up to the fact that years have gone by and so has the body.
