Each stage includes some of the Mario's favorite activities--among them boxing, running, biking, yoga, dance, basketball, and swimming--so readers can complete a full cardio workout with localized strength training, toning, and flexibility enhancement. Five workout sessions are featured each week so one never gets tired of doing the same thing.

Now his fans can tackle the tough job of producing toned abs and a hard body Mario Lopez-style: with enthusiasm and enjoyment. [close]
