4。5 stars。 I first noticed Meg on Instagram via Dr Joshua Wolrich。 I saw a few of her videos and the first thing I thought was “Damn she is so strong！” This book is amazing。 It really examines the damage diet culture has on women and how you can be any body size and enjoy fitness without the toxicity。 Just from doing exercise each week it’s cleared my head and is helping mentally。 The book is broken into different chapters; introduction， thin and fit are not the same， bodies post pregnancy， embr 4。5 stars。 I first noticed Meg on Instagram via Dr Joshua Wolrich。 I saw a few of her videos and the first thing I thought was “Damn she is so strong！” This book is amazing。 It really examines the damage diet culture has on women and how you can be any body size and enjoy fitness without the toxicity。 Just from doing exercise each week it’s cleared my head and is helping mentally。 The book is broken into different chapters; introduction， thin and fit are not the same， bodies post pregnancy， embracing fitness as you are， weight lighting， remembering your worth。 I know she power lifts and those bits I skimmed but after looking at the exercises she posted I am interested in her 12 weeks of weights （something I recently incorporated into workouts） and exercises。 She has pictures of the poses and different modifications to add as well。 She has an extensive list in the back of the book in regards to books， websites， podcasts， apps， people on Instagram to follow。 Recommended highly。 。。。more

I love the approach to fitness Meg Boggs shares in this book。 She talks about not assuming what your body can and can't do， but to actually try and see what it can do。 I was motivated to try doing unmodified push-ups occasionally。 The workouts she listed felt approachable and understandable to a beginner to strength workouts。 It was a motivational and informative read I love the approach to fitness Meg Boggs shares in this book。 She talks about not assuming what your body can and can't do， but to actually try and see what it can do。 I was motivated to try doing unmodified push-ups occasionally。 The workouts she listed felt approachable and understandable to a beginner to strength workouts。 It was a motivational and informative read 。。。more

This book spoke to me on so many levels。 I've never been an example of what fitness is expected to look like， and never will。 Partially due to this I've always had low self-esteem and don't feel particularly good about myself。 The author states throughout the book that everyone is different and shouldn't try to force yourself in to a "perfect" image that will never be achieved。 She doesn't give you excuses not to work out， but to try different things and find what works out for you。Thank you to This book spoke to me on so many levels。 I've never been an example of what fitness is expected to look like， and never will。 Partially due to this I've always had low self-esteem and don't feel particularly good about myself。 The author states throughout the book that everyone is different and shouldn't try to force yourself in to a "perfect" image that will never be achieved。 She doesn't give you excuses not to work out， but to try different things and find what works out for you。Thank you to NeGalley and the purblisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Author Meg Boggs is a courageous woman who shares her personal story of fitness and so much more in order that others are able to relate and gain the strength to pursue their own version of fitness， positive self image and self love。 This book is easy to read as the reader feels they are talking one on one with Meg。 She gives us a success story and a story of true grit。 I came away inspired and uplifted。 Because of her， I understand intuitive eating better， too！ Thank you to Meg， NetGalley and S Author Meg Boggs is a courageous woman who shares her personal story of fitness and so much more in order that others are able to relate and gain the strength to pursue their own version of fitness， positive self image and self love。 This book is easy to read as the reader feels they are talking one on one with Meg。 She gives us a success story and a story of true grit。 I came away inspired and uplifted。 Because of her， I understand intuitive eating better， too！ Thank you to Meg， NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to review this incredible book。 。。。more

Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader。Fitness for Every Body is an accessible， encouraging， supportive， and fun training guide by Meg Boggs。 Due out 27th April 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Tiller Press imprint， it's 224 pages and will be available in paperback， audio， and ebook formats。 This is a different， accepting， positive， and affirming take on fitness which has an inclusivity which has been sorely lacking in almost all the other fitness and training books I've ever read。 This Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader。Fitness for Every Body is an accessible， encouraging， supportive， and fun training guide by Meg Boggs。 Due out 27th April 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Tiller Press imprint， it's 224 pages and will be available in paperback， audio， and ebook formats。 This is a different， accepting， positive， and affirming take on fitness which has an inclusivity which has been sorely lacking in almost all the other fitness and training books I've ever read。 This is emphatically not a "fat to skinny" fairy tale。 The author compassionately relates some parts of her own fitness journey。 I found some of her honest and open recollections of bullying and shaming to be moving and difficult to read。 Most of the book reads like an essay more than an actual fitness recipe guide （with the expected wafer thin models making it look effortless）。 The essay chapters are broken down thematically;the introduction includes a lot of honesty about Ms。 Boggs' own outlook and journey。 The following chapters talk about other stages/phases of life including honest assessment of where we are， motherhood （I -loved- this chapter）， weight training， and more positivity。 I really like the author's positivity。 I like that this is a book about healthy mental and physical well being for everyone。 I like that it's an encouraging and sensible book。 I also like that the book meets the reader where they *are* no matter what their previous successes or disappointments。 Four stars。 This would be a great book for anyone wanting to improve their physical and mental health （and really isn't that most of us who are struggling with isolation and unhealthy habits from stress during the plague？）。Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes。 。。。more

Overall， I'd say this is an encouraging book for anyone just getting started on a fitness journey。 It covers a lot of basics for lifting and her journey to overcoming mental limits。However， while the title literally says every body， I had this feeling that the book wasn't fully meant for me in a variety of ways。 This might not be the best pick for a curvy retired D1 athlete with no kids， unless you're looking for a lifting plan。 Overall， I'd say this is an encouraging book for anyone just getting started on a fitness journey。 It covers a lot of basics for lifting and her journey to overcoming mental limits。However， while the title literally says every body， I had this feeling that the book wasn't fully meant for me in a variety of ways。 This might not be the best pick for a curvy retired D1 athlete with no kids， unless you're looking for a lifting plan。 。。。more

This book was received as an ARC from Tiller Press in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in that review are completely my own。This book is for someone like me。 We get judged everyday on our appearance rather in the real world indirectly or on social media and we see all these campaigns featuring fitness models and that is the measure we have to live up to。 Fitness is not about how you look but how you feel and the improvement of you health that comes with it。 Meg Bogg This book was received as an ARC from Tiller Press in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in that review are completely my own。This book is for someone like me。 We get judged everyday on our appearance rather in the real world indirectly or on social media and we see all these campaigns featuring fitness models and that is the measure we have to live up to。 Fitness is not about how you look but how you feel and the improvement of you health that comes with it。 Meg Boggs does a great job with explaining all of the different stages of development and the appropriate exercises that coincide with the ailment such as pain and pregnancy。 It was very courageous of Meg to share her story and reveal the photos of her training。We will consider adding this title to our R Non-Fiction collection at our library。 That is why we give this book 5 stars。 。。。more
