Fight the good fight
Honestly i support the author and his stressing the need for determination and using any resource available, but i do believe there are simply better workout books. 3.5 stars. Rounded up because i respect the triumphant spirit. Good inspiration particularly for people who always have excuses.

A great story and a powerful message
This is two books in one. First, a book which lays out the Conbody workout plan, fully illustrated. No equipment needed, and very little space needed. It’s pretty rough but at the same time “doable” by anyone who is capable of any level of physical activity. If you don’t like the gym, if you don’t like weights or running, you can get your “Conbody” through the exercise program here. Second, a book about Coss’ story where he resolved to change his life and change others. It’s a powerful story of redemption. It truly made me think about the men and women (in the millions) in our prison system. Certainly most deserve to be there- but what happens when they have done the time? For the most part, they are released to a world that doesn’t want to give them another chance. Many return to crime for lack of any other options. Putting aside compassion, if we want to stop the cycle of cons getting out and returning to a life of crime, we need to give them a true chance to integrate back into society. Coss and his trainers found that door slammed shut- but they forced it open Maybe if society leaves the door ajar for cons, even those without the tenacity of Coss can find opportunity to become a productive, tax-paying member of society again. And if they do, we all benefit.Another story I connect to is how life can change. Coss’ spent much of his 20’s in prison, a time when most people are starting to build their careers. He decided to change his life, for his child but also for himself. He reinvented himself and did so on the same block where he plied his illegal trade as a teenager and young adult. It’s a powerful message for everyone.

love the cardio and strength combo
Slick book, love the cardio and strength combo. Great message, and very accessible. I would say pay attention to your form on the jumping jack style exercises, if you’re too far forward on your toes your achilles tendon will be unhappy with you.Really nice daily plans too, not time consuming, suitably intense, minimal to no equipment, very La Sierra type of program.

Not what was expected
It makes it seem like this is just a strictly workout book, it’s more of an autobiography! I was disappointed as it wasn’t anything that it says it is!

Conbody is nothing short of inspirational!
Fast read; page turner; amazingCoss Marte’s story of growing up, hitting rock bottom, thrn coming out strong – both mentally and physically – teaches us as readers that the impossible is achievable. It teaches us that stereotypes are a lens that people view the world, but they’re just another barrier to break through. Whatever challenges you are facing today, take some time to read Coss’s story and you’ll be ready to take on anything!

Not bad but most of it can be found online plus there is more story than I care for personally. Some good tips and excercises but thatâs about it
DE_Reviews –
Great book by an ex-con who got in shape using his own body. A host of exercises that go beyond your basic push-up and squat (though there’s nothing wrong with your basic push-up and squat). Routines too. Well worth it.
