review 1: This is a very good book, that wasn't what I wanted or expected. I was looking for some good information on exercises; which it had, and even had some app and website suggestions.It also has a LOT of detailed information on everything about fitness, from nutrition to sleep. While I didn't know all the details, I knew enough for what I want (and what I am, as yet, unwilling to change).If you are a geek, and want good, detailed information on everything about fitness, this book has that for you.
review 2: If you are looking for a book which presents a systematic model for fitness that is backed by well integrated science, you will be disappointed. Likewise, if you are looking from a book to give you a simple plan to follow, you will be disappointed. This book d... moreoes cite a number of science studies, and has some broad organizing principles, but nothing I would bet my life on. We still don't really understand a lot about how our bodies work, they are extremely complex systems, so I shouldn't be surprised that this book fell short of my hopes. I have observed contradictory papers on nutrition and exercise in top peer reviewed journals within a few years of each other. Rather than offering a systematic in integrated model with a clear blueprint for an action plan, this book is more like highlights of what you would find visiting some of the better paleo diet and the quantify self movement websites. So if you are looking for a book to give you numerous ideas, techniques, and tools to consider, this would be a valuable book. less
