Summary

“Sal Di Stefano’s raw fitness truths about motivation， resistance training and intuitive eating can help anyone， at any age， at any level。”
--Jason Fung， MD， New York Times bestselling author

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

Great book。 Simple read， with easily actionable tips。

This book was just ok。 I felt it gave some descriptions， but I couldn't find too many of the work outs provided。 They were also inaccessible since the pdfs were pictures。 This book was just ok。 I felt it gave some descriptions， but I couldn't find too many of the work outs provided。 They were also inaccessible since the pdfs were pictures。 。。。more

I can't believe I'm about to commit to a lifelong strength training program—as long as I am able to—in my upcoming home gym。 Since I don't have much knowledge about this at all， I wanted to listen to this audiobook as a preface before I begin the Muscular Adaptation Programming System （MAPS） Starter Bundle （by the same author + his team）。 I didn't wanna spiral into a vortex of information， so I happened to find Tim at gymcrafter。com and currently going by his recommendations， which includes this I can't believe I'm about to commit to a lifelong strength training program—as long as I am able to—in my upcoming home gym。 Since I don't have much knowledge about this at all， I wanted to listen to this audiobook as a preface before I begin the Muscular Adaptation Programming System （MAPS） Starter Bundle （by the same author + his team）。 I didn't wanna spiral into a vortex of information， so I happened to find Tim at gymcrafter。com and currently going by his recommendations， which includes this one。= = = = =Chapter 15 / 05:01:57Mon， Sep 12 | 5:10:32 AM Stay connected。 Social isolation is…pretty bad。 Chapter 13 / 04:24:59Sun， Sep 11 | 9:28:06 PM Myth of eating small frequent meals throughout the day isn’t backed by any scientific research at all and apparently started with breakfast cereal companies Chapter 13 / 04:10:02Sun， Sep 11 | 2:08:28 PM Someone named Vicky as an example Chapter 8 / 03:03:21Sun， Sep 11 | 11:57:25 AM The Total Body Home Gym Program for intermediate level Chapter 6 / 02:29:37Sat， Sep 10 | 9:03:19 PM “Here’s all you need to set up an effective home gym:” （plus affirmation that home gyms are the best gyms！） Chapter 4 / 01:12:58Sat， Sep 10 | 12:19:16 PM “If you are over the age of 35 and not doing resistance training” omg good thing I’m starting now 😂 。。。more

I didn't expect 3 programs！ I expected this book to be more concept based like the Mind Pump podcast， but Sal is out here doing the most。 I wish I had read this sooner everything was so well laid out and action focused。 I didn't expect 3 programs！ I expected this book to be more concept based like the Mind Pump podcast， but Sal is out here doing the most。 I wish I had read this sooner everything was so well laid out and action focused。 。。。more

Me gustó， está bien balanceado entre todo lo que está alrededor del ejercicio （descanso， alimentación， mente。。。） y el tema principal del ejercicio。 Si bien， por momentos me pareció algo sesgados sus observaciones， en la mayoría de los casos está documentado con estudios científicos。Creo que es un buen libro para alguien en nivel principiante， es fácil de entender y bastante práctico en cuanto a ejecución。

An interesting read for anyone wanting to improve their nutrition and health。 Probably not needed for the person that's already immersed in the nutrition space although there are a lot of good points in here for the latter people as well。 Some solid facts in here as well that are good to know regardless of how much knowledge you have in this space。 Half of the book is certainly more motivational-type-vibe and although nothing wrong with that I didn't really expect or want that。 So knocking a sta An interesting read for anyone wanting to improve their nutrition and health。 Probably not needed for the person that's already immersed in the nutrition space although there are a lot of good points in here for the latter people as well。 Some solid facts in here as well that are good to know regardless of how much knowledge you have in this space。 Half of the book is certainly more motivational-type-vibe and although nothing wrong with that I didn't really expect or want that。 So knocking a star off as I would have enjoyed a book structured mainly around science and discourse and then a solid resistance plan outlined for all skills levels。 Good short pick up though。 。。。more

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

I thought that this was an absolutely brilliant no nonsense guide to resistance training and diet。 The diet and motivation advice seems very well researched。 I’m not sure that I will use the exercise programs， even though they are excellent because I already have my own program with kettlebells， but I’ve still picked up some great ideas for body weight exercises that I will be trying out。

Christie ，

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

Amanda Rogmark ，

If you are a beginner at weight lifting this is an excellent book for you， with several valuable tips and explanations of the benefits as well as how to start your weightlifting journey。 However， if you are very familiar with weight lifting and eating healthy there might not be much information in there that you don't already know。 It is definitely a book I would recommend to any friend or family member who is interested in starting to lift！ If you are a beginner at weight lifting this is an excellent book for you， with several valuable tips and explanations of the benefits as well as how to start your weightlifting journey。 However， if you are very familiar with weight lifting and eating healthy there might not be much information in there that you don't already know。 It is definitely a book I would recommend to any friend or family member who is interested in starting to lift！ 。。。more

great book， provides information， personal experience， and public research on things that were explained in the bookanswers few my question here:- if we want to burn fat， why do we have to exercie- what exercise exactly needed to burn fatand got something that I didn't expect to be，- cardio could ruins your "fat burning" program- muscle is a way to burn fat passively in long termdefinitely great， would like to read it again sometimes after trying out few things。 great book， provides information， personal experience， and public research on things that were explained in the bookanswers few my question here:- if we want to burn fat， why do we have to exercie- what exercise exactly needed to burn fatand got something that I didn't expect to be，- cardio could ruins your "fat burning" program- muscle is a way to burn fat passively in long termdefinitely great， would like to read it again sometimes after trying out few things。 。。。more

If you are just thinking of starting out with strength training and/or have tried to do fat loss by doing only cardio exercises but gain back the weight this is a good book to get you started。

DJDjr ，

Sal does a great job promoting the importance of Resistance Training。 It is simple to the point and well organized。

Bailey Bode ，

As someone who’s in the middle of her journey with resistance training， I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was able to have a different mindset when reading what I should and shouldn’t be doing instead of scoffing at fitness advice。 Highly recommend if you’re starting your fitness journey， stuck in your fitness journey， or simply look for great advice。

Suzanne ，

Pretty good， a little repetitive but I appreciate the research and education on resistance training。 I will say that it’s a little misleading - this isn’t a “no cardio” method， it’s a “low cardio” method。 Sal still suggests regular low intensity sustained state and and NEAT to improve cardiovascular health。 I think the one thing I left feeling more confused about is the nutrition - they suggest increasing slightly and eating your balanced macros but only eating 2 meals a day…。 So I guess for tho Pretty good， a little repetitive but I appreciate the research and education on resistance training。 I will say that it’s a little misleading - this isn’t a “no cardio” method， it’s a “low cardio” method。 Sal still suggests regular low intensity sustained state and and NEAT to improve cardiovascular health。 I think the one thing I left feeling more confused about is the nutrition - they suggest increasing slightly and eating your balanced macros but only eating 2 meals a day…。 So I guess for those 2 meals you need to try and eat a lot？！ Eat more but practice Intermittent Fasting… not sure where to go with that but it’ll be fun experimenting。 。。。more

Ashley Jones ，

I’m someone who has been into resistance training since the beginning of COVID。 There were lots of valuable ideas and I liked how he debunked a lot of common fitness myths。 This book would be great for beginners。 I don’t necessarily see myself cutting down to 2 meals for the day or limiting myself to 1 fruit per day， but other than that， he made interesting cases using scientific studies and articles。

Jessica Willoughby ，

This book is an excellent example of taking the most recent research and science and packaging it together in a way that will educate even the most avid health enthusiast

Matt Mc ，

4。5 StarsThis is a fantastic book。 It has great， expansive information as to how and why you should be doing strength/resistance training。 Great for all levels， but especially beginners。 The only thing that kept this from being a 5 for me is the lack of programming for people who do go to a commercial gym and have access to a wider array of equipment。

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

Everything he wrote I’ve found to be true over the past 6 months。 Resistance training + intuitive eating + eat more protein + eating whole/unprocessed food = fat loss and muscle gain。 I appreciated his explanations of how cardio can slow metabolism and his many client examples。 With his years of experience， he’s able to say what works and what doesn’t。 And I enjoyed his perspective on living a long and healthy life。 It’s not about being fit to be fit， but instead about taking care of this one bo Everything he wrote I’ve found to be true over the past 6 months。 Resistance training + intuitive eating + eat more protein + eating whole/unprocessed food = fat loss and muscle gain。 I appreciated his explanations of how cardio can slow metabolism and his many client examples。 With his years of experience， he’s able to say what works and what doesn’t。 And I enjoyed his perspective on living a long and healthy life。 It’s not about being fit to be fit， but instead about taking care of this one body we have。 。。。more

I bought this book after 3 days of following the exercises and returned the copy I was reading to the library。 I fully expect to get daily （well， every other day） use from it。

Denis Romanovsky ，

Started well explaining advantages of resistance training， growth of muscules and their role in the body metabolism。 Has nice pictures inside explaining exercises。 Very poor and shallow on the nutrition。

A great book for beginners - simple and relatable on theory and， rightly focused on habit building and practical application。 Highly recommend the audio book read by the author and also the Mind Pump podcast by him。

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

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