Back in November of 2017 James Atkinson asked me to review his latest book. While I've reviewed his books before, and they are all great fitness guides, this book really resonated with me as one of my resolutions is to get fit. While I don't need to lose weight I sure could use some muscle. So recently, I've been trolling gyms and deciding where to join and feeling decidedly like a fish out of water. So I picked up the book I'd so recently reviewed, Health & Fitness Tips That Will Change Your Life and found the section on those first ventures into a gym. The book is an easy read - easy to follow. It leads you from the beginning through the dark days of motivation to finding your fitness zone and keeping at it.
My favourite part of this book is not only does it touch on mindset, diet and fitness, James provides a 25 step guide (yes, there's a reason for the 25 steps) that you can begin now and work through 2018.
Here's my review of "Health & Fitness Tips that Will Change Your Life"
“A healthy mind starts with a healthy body: a healthy body promotes a healthy mind.”
The author gets into the heart of body/mind and how the discipline to mold a healthy body also includes forging a healthy mind and attitude toward life. While enforcing the tie between mental and physical health there are tips to strengthening motivation to reach fitness goals. With the addition of a free exercise guide this book makes getting fit seem doable.
It's written for the every-day person trying to get fit and/or drop a few pounds. Implement a change every two weeks using a 25 step program that runs over the course of a year. It begins with something as simple as walking before breakfast in the morning. Simple - doable. A routine complete with motivation that’s easy to follow."
