Practical no-nonsense advice for beginners and intermediates alike
Got this book on a recommendation from a friend as I've been stalling on some of my lifts recently and wanted to reappraise some aspects of my approach to fitness. I want to keep working out into my forties and beyond, so wanted to take a look at stretches, diet and some other bits and bobs (sleep... Caffeine...). The book covers the four main legs of the fitness animal in a decent amount of detail giving a great foundation to healthy lifestyle and fitness in general. It comes with a solid workout programme that will keep things fresh in the gym. Deffo for beginners and intermediate lifters who want some holistic-level fitness advice.

Focused, to the point and Actionable
It's rare that you see a book which is as direct at this in terms of what to focus on. The book draws on existing techniques but pulls them into a nice 4 step sequence. It's also a great jump of point for other advice. I'd definitely recommend it.

Great no-nonsense guide to getting, and staying, fit
Dr. Bortenschlager's 4 Legs to Fitness is a simple, straightforward guide to becoming fit and, more importantly, living healthier. He breaks it all down into an easy to follow plan supported by an appendix of worksheets and a free online planning tool. The ebook is packed with links to sources and online resources if digging deeper into the research behind it all is your thing. Personally, I found the prescriptive nature the most appealing part of the book.
