Many people place value on fitness but either don't do it or give up too quick. The reason is that they have unrealistic expectations and do not know their body type to match their training plan to reach a goal and the know-how to do it. The Fitness Mindset speaks of the what and the why and shows you the how. Apply each habit in each chapter of this book, focus on the "process" (rather than the goal itself), and reap the results Review"A comprehensible and motivating self-help book to get into shape with some excellent information about macronutrient ratios, injuries, and biomechanics of safe and effective lifting.

The Fitness Mindset shows you how to apply this to a domestic 9-5 lifestyle: work, train, home, sleep, repeat. Many people do not get results as quick as they want because they are not focused on "exercising" to perform at an optimal level, but are rather distracted by things going around them. Either exercise intensity decreases or exercising becomes harder to complete. A 60-minute weight training and 60-minute cardio session each can incinerate up to 1,000 calories an hour when performed at a steady-state of 80% HIT Building muscle and losing fat simultaneously in the quickest amount of time is what "exercising" is all about. This is the core of The Fitness Mindset: 7 Habits For Peak Performance. Feel and look better within days and increase your physical fitness four-fold in 12 to 16 weeks Intensity is measured by how much muscle tension you can create in the shortest amount of time to fatigue the muscles so that they can adapt and get stronger and bigger Getting results by altering physical appearance and improving functional ability is not 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, but quite the opposite: 80% exercise and 20% nutrition. We spend less time meal prepping during the week than exercising. "Exercising" takes more time (and effort), even in preparation.
