The ONLY Fitness Mindset Book You Will Ever Need To Get Strong, Lean, And Fit-And Stay Motivated!
Do you struggle to stick to a routine because it's not working? But what if the reason you are exercising is the problem? The Fitness Mindset reveals why 99% don't reach their fitness goals. Discover the values of fitness to build habits for sustainable action and training skills for peak performance!
HOW WOULD IT FEEL TO HAVE THE MINDSET TO SUSTAIN MOTIVATION?
The Fitness Mindset is a self-help guide that gives you a considerable amount of informational support. This includes exercise modalities and biomechanics; training methods, systems, routines, and variables; exercise motivation and goal setting; exercise strategies to enhance focus; nutrition and post-exercise nutrition; recuperation and adaptation; injury prevention; and the benefits of exercising that goes beyond a physical transformation. Includes over 50 images, charts, diagrams, and more than 150 endnotes for additional informational support.
The Fitness Mindset was written during the COVID-19 2020-21 pandemic and represents the culmination of 45 years of training knowledge and experience by a natural fitness veteran who blends a science-based perspective with a common-sense approach.
Chapter 1 emphasizes the importance of combining exercise, diet, and recovery for long-term health. It challenges the 80/20 rule by highlighting exercise's key role in maintaining metabolism and promoting fat loss. Also covers hydration, the effects of caffeine and alcohol, and how to balance macronutrients for optimal performance.
Chapter 2 explores effective goal-setting through a hierarchy of long-term and short-term goals. It prioritizes process goals over outcome goals. Concepts like flow, mental imagery, and habit-building are introduced to support lasting success.
Chapter 3 breaks recovery into three phases: rest intervals, post-exercise nutrition, and supercompensation. Each phase is essential for muscle repair, growth, and improved performance. Proper recovery planning helps maximize results and prevent burnout.
Chapter 4 introduces the "fitness mindset"-a resilient, adaptable commitment to fitness that drives consistency and optimal performance. Through real-life examples, it shows how to adapt, exercise, and train effectively in any environment to create lasting change.
Chapter 5 compares resistance training with high-impact exercise modalities, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. high-intensity steady-state (HISS) and full-body vs. split routines. Discusses muscle tension, injury prevention, and how to tailor workouts to individual body types and goals for more effective training.
Chapter 6 contrasts three resistance training methods, identifying the most time and energy efficient option. It also covers overtraining risks, the balance between volume and intensity, measuring effort, and the importance of proper warm-ups.
Chapter 7 focuses on adaptation-the body's response to training stress that leads to strength and growth. Encourages sticking with programs long enough for results, gradually increasing intensity, and refining technique to avoid stagnation.
Chapter 8 covers the biomechanics of safe and effective lifting. Emphasizes joint alignment, muscle engagement, and proper form through 20+ foundational exercises. Smart technique leads to better results, reduced injury risk, and long-term physical health.
