In the last year, someone mentioned a workout book on the #lesswrong irc channel.I want to start exercising in my room and that book seemed, at the time, the best place to start for me so I am looking for it.

Help with finding the book or alternatives appreciated. Here's what I remember about it:

  • the author is someone who server time in jail or is currently serving at the moment
  • the person that talked about the book said that the book empathizes on the idea of keeping the body strong and healthy without the need of weights
  • the exercises use limited space

I can't remember more right now but I will edit the post if I do.

Sounds like Convict Conditioning to me.

I haven't read it myself, but some friends have praised the book and the exercises included.

I've read it, still practice it and I recommend it.

The only piece of 'equipment' you'll need is a horizontal bar to do pullups (a branch or anything that supports your weight will work just as well).
