Summary
Why everyone should make resistance training their primary form of exercise--not only for aesthetics， but to be healthier， more energetic and live longer， from the founder of the popular Mind Pump Podcast
Appealing to the motivational， upgrade your life through fitness audience for bestsellers like Own the Day， Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus， The Resistance Training Revolution reveals how weight training is the best form of exercise to burn fat， boost metabolism， and avoid injury and illness。 This is the first authoritative， comprehensive guidebook from Mind Pump Media， one of the fastest-growing brands in the health and fitness industry。
Building muscle and burning body fat is often one focus and overall health & wellness is often another。 The Resistance Training Revolution brings both of those elements together。 Mind Pump co-founder Sal Di Stefano blows the lid off the same old "30 minutes of cardio a day" advice， revealing how to optimize your time spent in the gym--at least 2-3 days a week for the average person， following Mind Pump's Muscular Adaptation Programming System （MAPS）--to transform your health in a way that cardio alone cannot。 The book draws on the many recent studies and expert advice from MDs and other health experts （including many guests featured on the Mind Pump podcast） to show the superiority of resistance training for all aspects of health including injury prevention and anti-aging。

The majority of the Resistance Training Revolution is filled with very motivational knowledge from an experienced fitness instructor。 Who wouldn’t be thrilled to hear this quote？“Cardio， though it has its place， is the least valuable activity for our body。 Cardio slows your metabolism。 Cardio-type exercise is an ineffective tool for weight loss。 You will learn to exercise less， eat more， and boost your fat-burning to new levels of efficiency。”The exercise programs don’t appear until 124 pages in The majority of the Resistance Training Revolution is filled with very motivational knowledge from an experienced fitness instructor。 Who wouldn’t be thrilled to hear this quote？“Cardio， though it has its place， is the least valuable activity for our body。 Cardio slows your metabolism。 Cardio-type exercise is an ineffective tool for weight loss。 You will learn to exercise less， eat more， and boost your fat-burning to new levels of efficiency。”The exercise programs don’t appear until 124 pages into the book。 And， I hate to say it， there is little new there， at least in the beginner’s program。 I’m still not sold on not warming up before exercise but instead “priming”。 The last third of the book includes a section on intuitive eating that also didn’t wow me。Overall， the first 120 pages were great and may just be the push you need to start exercising。 However， the rest of Resistance Training Revolution didn’t follow through on the promise of innovation that it led me to expect。 3 stars。Thanks to Hachette Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book。 I like how it gives photos of correct form for exercises。 The 9-week workout plans seem easy to follow and stick with。 The food chapters focus on intuitive eating。 The resistance training models presented here and the advice on food seem primed for becoming habit and routine。 The author is clearly knowledgeable and brings insight from years of working as a personal trainer。 I’m excited to give this program a try！

As someone on a weight loss journey， I was very impressed with the easy to understand format。 It felt like I was getting work out advice from a really fit friend！ The author was encouraging and stressed the importance of working at the right pace for your body。 The pictures of each exercise were so helpful。 I also enjoyed the detailed descriptions。 They empowered me to get up in the moment and try following the instructions just to see how accurate they were。 I was not disappointed especially be As someone on a weight loss journey， I was very impressed with the easy to understand format。 It felt like I was getting work out advice from a really fit friend！ The author was encouraging and stressed the importance of working at the right pace for your body。 The pictures of each exercise were so helpful。 I also enjoyed the detailed descriptions。 They empowered me to get up in the moment and try following the instructions just to see how accurate they were。 I was not disappointed especially because as stated， this program is designed to be done in the comfort of your own home if you wish。 You don't need to go broke buying expensive equipment; just the basics and your body weight。 This is definitely a book I would keep on hand for reference and motivation。 。。。more

For years I've been following the mainstream health advice of 150 minutes of cardio a week and strength training twice a week。 So much of the emphasis has been put on the cardio， with resistance training added almost as an afterthought。 This book explains why resistance training is what we should be focusing on in our workouts， and why too much cardio could keep us from losing weight。There are three workout plans: a bodyweight only workout， a dumbbell workout， and a gym or home gym workout。 Ther For years I've been following the mainstream health advice of 150 minutes of cardio a week and strength training twice a week。 So much of the emphasis has been put on the cardio， with resistance training added almost as an afterthought。 This book explains why resistance training is what we should be focusing on in our workouts， and why too much cardio could keep us from losing weight。There are three workout plans: a bodyweight only workout， a dumbbell workout， and a gym or home gym workout。 There are also chapters on diet and getting ready to make changes in your life。 The section "Motivation Versus Discipline" is especially good， and can be applied to many areas of one's life。 DiStefano cites many studies in the book， and I was glad to see that there is a References section at the end of the book。 。。。more
