How to get a prison yard physique without serving time

WASHINGTON – It’s a felony to work out this hard.

Of course, you would never want to discover why firsthand. Being a felon is often time-consuming (all those court dates) and pricey (all those lawyers and fines). Plus, being a productive member of society has its perks.

However, it is safe to say some prison inmates are living up to the term “hardened criminals.”

Enter William Kroger, an attorney in Los Angeles, who noticed the inmates he was representing were behemoths and created a workout plan based off their regimens called “Felon Fitness”

The program comes after a state law removed free weights from California jails in the 1990s. Inmates were forced to create their own workouts using their body weight.

The book highlights many different ways people can use their own bodies to cheaply obtain a chiseled physique, including creating barbells out of that old stack of “Us Weekly” sitting on your coffee table.

You can order the “Felon Fitness” program — in book form — on Amazon.
