Felon Fitness is a book written by NASM certified trainer Trey Teufel and criminal attorney William S. Kroger. This book offers a no nonsense diet and an exercise plan that can be carried out using only your body weight as resistance. This book is based on the workouts that inmates do in the state of California. Based on information from the Department of Corrections, the workouts in this book can be done in very small spaces and no equipment is required. This book will allow you to get a hard body without doing hard time. There are a total of 50 different exercises and workout routines from real inmates. The exercises are broken into chapters focusing on various muscle groups including legs, chest, shoulders, abdominals and back. The workout routines are aptly named after the inmates that provided them.
Exercises come from inmates with very strong bodies

DIET and NUTRITION
The diet program within Felon Fitness is simple to follow and encourages healthy eating. You are not asked to eliminate any specific groups of food, but will be eating lean proteins, healthy fats and healthy carbs. You are asked to avoid fried foods, calories from juice and soft drinks and large amounts of pasta and bread. Some of the diet tips included in Felon Fitness are:
Start eating less
Don’t think you can eat more because you’re exercising, especially you’re overweight
Carbohydrates, protein and fat are elements needed in your diet, so don’t eliminate any of them
Cut the sweets because most of them contain high fructose corn syrup
Eliminate sugar-saturated drinks from your life
Cut out fried foods
Eat more leafy green and multi-colored vegetables
Eat more fruit
Eat less starchy foods like pasta and bread; they’re not bad for you but add a lot of calories
EXERCISE

There are several sets and repetitions within these workouts so there is some time commitment involved.
