Personal trainer to the stars Jono Castano has been the motivator for thousands of powerful fitness transformations, was in-house trainer at Men's Health Magazine and is Founder of Acero Gym.
In It Starts Today, Jono draws upon his own powerful experiences as a non English-speaking new migrant, professional sportsman and celebrity trainer to cut through the noise and share the key skills which will help make your own fitness transformation both sensible and sustainable. Detailing the five key pillars to great health and his own success; Mindset, Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep and Balance, It Starts Today provides evidence-based advice and achievable plans to help motivate you for change and overhaul your life - both inside and out. Sharing personal stories of his clients' incredible transformations with his trademark affability (including before and after photos), his recollections of youth and reinventing himself after his dream of becoming a professional soccer player ended, his numerous tips and tricks for achieving the success we are all seeking in life will be invaluable for your own transformation.
Pleasantly surprised by this one. Nothing in here is revolutionary, but Castano covers off on the basics and fundamentals in an easy to follow and digestible way. Nothing in here feels disingenuous, and I don't feel like I am being sold to. It's all very practical, applicable and reasonable advice that can be implemented in any number of ways.
I'm personally not looking for a life transformation, but it's nice to remind yourself of the 'right' way to be going about wellness, productivity, diet, exercise etc. Giving this one 5 stars as it does exactly what it says on the box. There is nothing in this book that can't be utilised in some way, in some part of your life. Very no-nonsense stuff from a career athlete and wellness professional.
Would recommend as a short, sharp, no-nonsense book for those that need a nudge in the right direction.
