Excellent short guide

In my recent quest for fitness books to quench my appetite for fitness "everything," I came upon "Get-Fit Guy's Secrets to a Better Workout" by Ben Greenfield. I give this book five stars for two reasons: the author has higher education in a fitness-related field and has experience to back it up, and the book is well-written, informative, and enjoyable to read.

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.

Quick read but requires a re-read or 2 to take in all the information presented. I was going to get one of Ben’s Audible books but it was a 41 hour read so I figured No Go; this guy must be long-winded. Not true of this book.

I listen to his podcast and like it. He and Tim Ferriss both give good exercise and diet advice that I've found to be mostly in sync. He's a beast but recognizes that it's his life and can't be everyone else's. I like that he helps you find ways as a busy parent to incorporate effective workouts in the course of your day.

Some good tips

Some of it I knew, but there were things I either had not heard or were at least good reminders.

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.

Tiny Treasure Trove of Training Tips

Succinct and to-the-point.

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
