Title: Easy read and Worth the buy!
Review: I’m grateful to Sal for writing this book and giving direction in a world full of too much information. This book has it all, especially for someone starting out. I injured myself, both elbows/forearms and decided to start with the Total Body Anywhere Program— using Resistance Bands. I thought surely I was more advanced to use just bands— BUT I decided to start from the basics and the bands touched a part on my back where I’ve never felt soreness before… not too much soreness— but enough to feel “something” where my shoulder blades are — just from the bands. Love it! I can’t wait to finish all programs in this book. This book also talks about Nutrition. I finished this book in one day…. This book is worth the money !

Title: Took me 20 years to learn these principles!
Review: I am not exaggerating – even a little bit – when I state that if you are trying to lose fat and improve your overall health, the mindset and methods presented in this book will help you! If you're like me, it may be difficult (at first) to wrap your head around the claim that you don’t need to focus on cardio to get in shape. However, Di Stefano takes you through the issues and dismantles objections with scientific logic and references. Furthermore, I can attest to this approach with my own personal experiences!Some background – I have struggled with my weight since childhood. This led to all sorts of desperate attempts at weight loss at first – every pill, shake, workout shortcut, and fad diet that I came across, I tried. Nothing worked in the long-term. Finally, when I was about 18, I jumped head-first into cardio. An hour a day, all out, 6 days a week...and the fat just melted away in months! In my brain, this put cardio at the pinnacle of all things fitness. Only later on, was I able to put it into context: 1) I stopped shoving garbage into my body – sodas, chips, pizza, candy, etc. was all either limited or stopped altogether, 2) I got a job at a furniture store and spent most of my time there loading trucks, moving mattresses and sofas, 3) I was young and saw a multifaceted lifestyle change. Of course my body was going to react quickly – I literally changed everything! However, that “cardio is king” approach was burned into my brain, and stayed there for a LONG time!Now in my early 40s, I’ve stayed relatively healthy and active since. Only recently have I really taken a step back, taken stock of my approach, changed my goals a bit, and realized that I’ve basically been doing the same thing and staying at the same level for years. My weight (once around 265-270), kept hovering between 200 and 210. When I did lift, the amount would pretty much stay the same. I was still devoting massive amounts of time to cardio - going nuts with it, and keeping my calories at around 1700 - 1800. I just felt like I was treading water. So, I hired a personal trainer. Coincidentally, this is about the same time I discovered the Mind Pump podcast (Di Stefano is one of 3 hosts).Getting with a trainer who started me on the right path was absolutely the best thing I could have done. He began to explain to me the concepts that Di Stefano lays out in this book. By focusing so much on cardio and eating a calorically restrictive diet, my body was becoming really efficient at going through the cardio motions, but at the cost of my metabolism and muscle mass. Yes, I could run for 45 minutes, jump on a Jacob's Ladder, or hit the elliptical for an hour and burn (what I thought were) massive amounts of calories, but I was really telling my body to slow my metabolism and not put on any muscle (muscle is greedy tissue and burns a lot of calories just to exist, so when you do massive amounts of cardio, your body will often sacrifice it for the calorie expenditure). I was told, and this is backed up in Di Stefano’s book, that the most effective strategy for fat loss is to build muscle through resistance training. I’m currently about 9 weeks into this approach, and the results speak for themselves: I have stepped back from cardio (not eliminated completely), began focusing on resistance training, and actually INCREASED my calories incrementally, now at 600 more per day than when I began! I have lost over 7 pounds of fat and put on 2.5 pounds of muscle! I’m sleeping better, and I feel better overall. This is a lifestyle that I can live for the rest of my life, and I love it.I apologize if it seems like I've rambled on about myself, but I want to make it clear that I am living proof that the principles, strategies, and techniques found in this book work! It is true that I had started on this path before I opened the book, but what it did was offer clarity, detail, and validation. It took me about 15 years of trial and error, desperation, feeling like I was working my absolute hardest and getting nowhere, to arrive at this point and finally start seeing (and feeling) results. Pick this book up, read it, check out the author's podcast (Mind Pump), apply these lessons (there are tons of useful exercises, tips to help your mindset/attitude, and links for instructional videos), and you will see positive results!

Title: Good Read But Left Wanting More!
Review: I am a certified personal trainer so I appreciated the information and totally agreed with almost everything in his book. My only disappointment was wanting better descriptions of the areas the exercises impacted and many more examples with band and balls. I understand it’s better for someone not in the industry so it is easily understood. Would have also appreciated better pictures. You will definitely benefit from reading this book!

Title: Something for Everyone!
Review: The concepts covered in this book will save a person who is beginning their fitness career a boatload of time sifting through all of the information online and through various personal trainers.If you are new to fitness this is a book you may find yourself re-visiting in order to hammer home the fundamentals presented. This is especially true in regards to how and why resistance training trumps other forms of exercise and the notion of behavioral/psychological changes to improving eating patterns to permanently keep weight off.If you consider yourself an advanced fitness fanatic or have listened to the MindPump Podcast for years, you should know that the book simply condenses a lot of MPFs philosophy into one convenient place (not including trigger sessions, which are an amazing concept that are hammered home by MPF and their MAPS programs). The routines/splits may also not be ideal for advanced lifters as well, but of course could be used for clients, friends, family, etc. who are interested in getting started in resistance training.The reason I believe this book is still excellent for those who are advanced is twofold. The first is that if you are indeed an "advanced fitness fanatic," then you often come across friends, family or randoms who ask for your fitness advice, this book is a great starting point on how to get them started, improve their workouts, or improve their nutrition. An amazing blueprint to address the "lowest common denominator."Secondly, if you work in the fitness industry and assign "homework" to your clients, this book is a quick read and great place for clients to start. Don't worry, you won't be selling yourself out of a client because they will still want to learn compound/technical lifts from you regardless.

Title: Great book for individuals getting into weight training.
Review: I was very pleased with this book. Full disclosure, ds a personal trainer myself I have been a been a fan of MindPump and Sal Di Stefano for a couple years now. I am always training to get better informed and educated to best meet the needs of those I train. This book was a home run. The information has a good flow and is informative without being dry. The advice is sound. I really like the exercises and planning. If I have to nit pick for a criticism is that there is nothing new for someone like me who has been a follower of Sal and am fairly well educated with training(as a cpt obviously there are a lot of people more educated than me out there). I would highly recommend this book for someone who cannot utilize a trained and needs to get started on their fitness journey on their own. Great job Mr. Di Stefano.

Review: I have been researching how to lose weight permanently for 2 years. I came up with a strategy that is similar to Sal's. This book has confirmed my conclusions and has added the importance of our initial mindset for long term success.Second, this is the first concrete fitness program that an unfit 60+ year old can start doing to build muscle. It speaks to the beginner or someone who needs to start over.Third, it addresses the complicated nature of how to reset your metabolism if you have reduced it to almost nothing.Finally Sal's goals are in alignment with my goals. Live to 90+, be mobile, live independently, be healthy and happy.Sal gives you the framework. You will likely find it beneficial to have someone help you implement the many actions you can take to have a better last leg of life.Good luck with your journey.Thank you Sal.
