Tired of spending hours on the treadmill? Dealing with the joint paint of high impact exercise? And seeing very few results in terms of fat-burning and weight loss? If so, it’s time to join the revolution。 Sal Di Stefano, the founder of the mega popular Mind Pump podcast, reveals how resistance training is the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and achieve health benefits you cannot obtain from other forms of exercise。 Based on Mind Pump’s Muscular Adaptation Programming System (MAPS), The Resistance Training Revolution features:
How to optimize your workout time with over 60 fat-burning, metabolism-boosting workouts you can do at home
Raw fitness truths about what works and what doesn’t
The newly discovered health benefits of resistance training in terms of heart health, bone strength, joint protection, and especially antiaging
The exact formula for nutrition that makes losing fat while sculpting your body a breeze
Dozens of self-assessments to track your progress, and much more
 
“Stop those mindless hours of ‘cardio’ and make real gains in health and weight loss… Resistance exercise that builds muscle is key to weight loss, metabolic health, even healthy aging。”
--William Davis, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly book series

Easy to read, basic health and nutrition information provided。 Nothing terribly new or controversial here。 A reminder to be patient and that most of us come to fitness with wildly unrealistic expectations and that the magic is in consistency。 Some solid training plans provided。 A good intro to weight training。 One negative is the notion you don't need cardio。 My personal opinion is that heart health and good endurance as are important pieces of overall health as muscles and low body fat。 Easy to read, basic health and nutrition information provided。 Nothing terribly new or controversial here。 A reminder to be patient and that most of us come to fitness with wildly unrealistic expectations and that the magic is in consistency。 Some solid training plans provided。 A good intro to weight training。 One negative is the notion you don't need cardio。 My personal opinion is that heart health and good endurance as are important pieces of overall health as muscles and low body fat。 。。。more

The three different sets of programs 1) Total body anywhere program, 2) Total body dumbbells' program, and 3) Total body home gym program, are not necessarily sequential。 Choosing which one to do depends on your workout setting for the moment。 But he introduced 1) as relatively less challenging and that's what I have started already。 It's still a workout for me。 Will finish the 9 week program and move on to dumbbell program。My light bulb moment reading this book is: "Don't go to the gym and work The three different sets of programs 1) Total body anywhere program, 2) Total body dumbbells' program, and 3) Total body home gym program, are not necessarily sequential。 Choosing which one to do depends on your workout setting for the moment。 But he introduced 1) as relatively less challenging and that's what I have started already。 It's still a workout for me。 Will finish the 9 week program and move on to dumbbell program。My light bulb moment reading this book is: "Don't go to the gym and workout。, Go to the gym and practice these exercises and try to get good at them。" Simple idea, but it changed my entire mentality of daily workout。I took about 6 pages of notes reading this book。 Great knowledge sharing on basic workout routine (such as how to warm up with priming instead of low cardio or long stretching) and relationship of food and exercise, etc。 Tons of great info! 。。。more

The author of this book, Sal Di Stefano, is one of the hosts of the Mind Pump podcasts- it's one of my few go-to fitness podcasts that I enjoy listening to, and I’ve learned a lot on health and fitness from its hosts。 A lot of the information in this book can be learned from listening to various episodes of Mind Pump, but I still found the book enjoyable because this information is found in a single source (instead of listening to parts of different Mind Pump episodes) and the writing style was The author of this book, Sal Di Stefano, is one of the hosts of the Mind Pump podcasts- it's one of my few go-to fitness podcasts that I enjoy listening to, and I’ve learned a lot on health and fitness from its hosts。 A lot of the information in this book can be learned from listening to various episodes of Mind Pump, but I still found the book enjoyable because this information is found in a single source (instead of listening to parts of different Mind Pump episodes) and the writing style was easy to read and entertaining。 I think the book is targeting a beginner or perhaps someone returning to fitness who has been away from it for a while, but I still found it valuable。 Even with my decades of fitness knowledge and experience, I still found a few things I didn’t know and even of couple of fitness myths that I still believed。As a side note, I recently decided to change up my workout routine and decided to purchase a couple of Mind Pump’s Muscle Adaptation Programming System (MAPS) work-out programs。 At the time of this review, I am on week 7 of Anabolic and I am seeing some gains (increased strength and muscle definition), so I’m happy with it and looking forward to seeing what results I’ve accomplished when the program is complete。 。。。more

I've read a few fitness/nutrition self-help books, and in my opinion this might be the most concise。 The title might be a bit misleading, if you read into it literally。 I don't think the author meant it literally, and he outlines the plan to be your best self。 I listened to this on audiobook, and I might have to buy a physical copy。 Would give this book 10 stars if I could 💯💯💯 I've read a few fitness/nutrition self-help books, and in my opinion this might be the most concise。 The title might be a bit misleading, if you read into it literally。 I don't think the author meant it literally, and he outlines the plan to be your best self。 I listened to this on audiobook, and I might have to buy a physical copy。 Would give this book 10 stars if I could 💯💯💯 。。。more

Mind Pump FanBeing a listener of the podcast mindpump made this read even easier to retain。 Loved the concept。 The title has resistance training in it, but this was definitely a Wellness book。Great Job Sal

Alexander Nisbet

Good read Common sense approach for ordinary people to follow to ensure they are living healthy, happy Iives by utilising resistance training

Mike Knirnschild

Very basic。 Might be good for those new to resistance training。 Certainly nothing new to learn here if you have any prior experience。

I really enjoyed the section on intuitive eating。 I like that his stuff is based on scientific studies。 I use 2 of his programs for working out。 Prime and Prime Aesthetics。 They are very good programs。 I also listen to mind pump and have learned tons。

This book is very well written and easy to understand。 It has changed the way I look at "dieting" and working out。 I highly recommend it to anyone stagnating with working out or just beginning and don't really know what to do。 I would even say someone advanced would still get something out of reading it。 This book is very well written and easy to understand。 It has changed the way I look at "dieting" and working out。 I highly recommend it to anyone stagnating with working out or just beginning and don't really know what to do。 I would even say someone advanced would still get something out of reading it。 。。。more

Inspiring account on how to build muscle and exercise with our modern day lifestyles。 I also enjoyed his framing of food and our relationship with food and connecting it to how our bodies feel。

Kevin Walters

Decent information but nothing groundbreaking This book has solid information in it but I didn’t find much in here that I didn’t already see elsewhere。
