Customer Reviews

Eureka!

This book makes sense!!! This is a must read for anyone who is looking to get fit. If you are trying to lose 5 lbs or 50 lbs, the real life stories help you feel that you are not alone in your quest for health. As a personal trainer, the information in this book is valuable. The program designed in this book is a great supplement to the strength training excercises I recommend to my clients.

This is a great book

I read Fit and Fat and loved it. It has a lot of useful information. It is well written, and the analogies were especially powerful for me. The book takes shame or embarrassment out of not being fit, and teaches how to get more fit in a friendly, nonjudgemental way. It has made a big difference in my life! My friends have read this and report it was helpful for them, too, as they made lifestyle changes.

empowering

this word is still an understatement to describe this book. IT's all about getting people moving towards a more active lifestyle at their own pace. It truly changes the way we think about working out. It's educational and well documented. Simply fabulous.

Practical and Well Researched

This book dispels several myths about fitness and fatness that I found very refreshing. The authors really did their homework in providing the latest in research and providing the citation for each source. The book is relatively easy to read and is packed full of practical activities designed to increase self awareness, motivation, and physical and emotional fitness. Definitely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to explore and enhance their metabolic, emotional, and physical fitness.
