Product Description

Cut workout time in half and get double the results!

If you’re a guy with little time to work out and pounds of fat to burn, the thought of having to spend hours in the gym lifting weights and doing cardio can be a daunting proposition. Now, Cardio Strength Training solves both problems with simple, fast, and effective workouts that incorporate challenging, muscle-building combination moves and fat-frying cardio exercises to help you kill two birds with one stone. Built on the same principles Robert Dos Remedios uses to train Division I collegiate athletes, Cardio Strength Training provides safe and innovative workouts and nutritional advice for anyone looking to drop pounds of flab and build a functionally strong physique. Every workout is no longer than 15 minutes and is built on the same training methods outlined in the highly successful book, Men’s Health Power Training.

Decent Info, Horrible Editing July 29, 2010
J. Berendzen
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am not going to go into too much detail because I would just be repeating much of what has already been said. But...

The editing is insanely bad. There are not just typos, but much bigger layout problems--sections of text are repeated or placed in the wrong order, tables are in the wrong place (i.e. text will refer to the table below when it is in fact at the top of the page), and some pictures are missing. The way the book is put together is such an amateurish hack-job that it is amazing that it found its way to print. I would say that Rodale Books must be run by trained chimps, but that would insult the chimps.

Aside from the editing, I actually like the workouts a lot, and I think the book provides some good information. With a bit of time (and a critical eye to weed through the various sources of information) one could find all of this information on the internet for free, though. Of course, it is easier (and maybe a bit more trustworthy) to get all the info from this one book--so if the book were put together in a halfway respectable manner, I would probably recommend it.

The "book" Could Be a Pamphlet. No Kidding. July 24, 2010
Eugene P. Trimboli (Greenlawn, NY, USA)
Beyond silly. And,yes, I bought this "book." It's a gimmick--full of pictures, far, far too many pictures. Its brief text offers a single, excellent idea. Simply stated, get off the treadmill or the elliptical, and push or pull something. Done. Do you really want to condition your body? Do you need to be awakened to another level of seeing how to create your own workouts, even as the "experts" go on telling you what to do? I'm sure that there are many superior books, but one of them must be Dan John's, NEVER LET GO, where the "information" in this book is, literally, a footnote on one of its pages. And I mean that.

Effective information May 14, 2010
R. Holmes (Dallas TX)
The basic idea for this concept very valid. Coach Dos does a nice job of explaining the thought processes and concepts. As mentioned in other reviews, the editing is poor, i.e. some of the pictures showing the workout steps are ordered incorrectly. I wish there were more examples of programs laid out for you to follow. Except for the few things mentioned above, which are relatively minor, it is a great workout guide. I would recommend it.

DO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! April 24, 2010
Capt. Craig (West Palm Beach, Florida)

The nice thing abouut this book is that if you aren't on your knees in between sets feeling like your about to die and wishing you could be anywhere else other than what you're doing, then you aren't doing the exercises right.
It's a face paced, explosive packed program that will whip your ass into shape. I'm 43 and I started with Coach Dos Mens Health Power Training years ago. I bought CST just a few months ago and it's taken my fitness level even further. I can do more over the age of 40 than I could at 30. Coach, wish you were around in my 20's.
Do yourself a favor and throw all those "it's easy!" programs away. In order to change you will have to feel discomfort and pain. And that's the fun in it anyway. Who wants to do it easy? Not me.
This book is excellent and easy to follow. I have the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells which makes weight changes quick so you move through each circuit very smoothly.

DO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Training for the New Age April 22, 2010
Luke Sniewski, CPA, CES, PES (Los Angeles, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Coach Dos seems to be leading the race for innovations in the strength and conditioning industry. This book is the perfect example of that edge that he has over the rest. At no point during his career, has he remained educational stagnant. Instead, he continually experiments and finds new ways to excel his athletes. We readers are lucky that he documents and shares his findings with the rest of the world. Cardio Strength Training is epitome of these last statements. This easy to follow and understandable guide allows anyone to implement new age metabolic fitness strategies that are appropriate for anyone. Not just for athletes, these workouts are extremely time-efficient, which is perfect for the Average Joe who works the daily grind and only has 30-40 minutes to workout. In fact, with some of the protocols in this book, that may be too much time. As Dos so eloquently puts it, get out there and "DO WORK!"
