It provides a thorough explanation about warming up before a workout and cooling down afterwards. Then he goes into how to know if you're working out at the right intensity. Other topics he covers include: why you might not be losing weight, how to measure body fat, how to build muscle, what is proper gym etiquette, how to get better results from weightlifting, and he also shares motivation tips.
What's great about this book is the author often backs up in factual terms the claims he makes, so you know his advice is sound. And he explains everything thoroughly, so you will completely understand him.
I highly recommend this concise guide for every fitness enthusiast. It is a must-read for health-conscious individuals.
The references to his website made me want to check it out, so the"free" book gimmick worked in my case.
Plus, the writing was easy to understand and follow. It will be good reference when I need a quick reminder.
Top reviews from other countries

There's a lot of useful information crammed in here (some summaries are included for the sections that go a bit in-depth).
The author clearly knows what he's talking about.
It's mainly aimed at exercise newbies, and, with that audience in mind, does a good job of giving straightforward information related to the reasoning behind why you should warm up and cool down.
Without including full workouts, Ben Greenfield manages to provide enough information for someone who is just starting out or wants a stripped-back get-and-stay-fit-and-lean-ish approach.
As you can probably tell, I was impressed, and I will be checking out his other material in the hope that it's the same level of clarity and quality.
Top takeaways:
- manages to cover cardio, strength-training, nutrition in short amount of time
- well-written
