Practical guide to fitness through high intensity interval training and healthy eating. Simple, engaging, and motivating. Highly recommended for getting yourself back in shape.

Great workout plan, with 6 week calendar, fit test at the beginning, mid way and end to check progress and 4 different workouts with descriptions and pictures. Includes modifications for those not yet in the shape they would like to be in. The only reason I gave 4 stars, is because there are references throughout the book to look at the website, but the website is still not functioning.

I love Adam Rosante. I'll have to reevaluate my stars when I actually start this 6 week process. So far as reading goes, this book is great - I love that Adam doesn't make my beloved plain oatmeal the enemy or criminalize my favorite fruits. Yay for real food! And his advice for dealing with human roadblocks to success is Spot On!

From my blog: https://journeytoahappierhealthierme....
I just finished reading Adam Rosante’s book, The 30-Second Body: Eat Clean. Train Dirty. Live Hard. It is a quick, easy read. He does not waste time with a bunch of useless information or boring stories.
WHAT I LIKED:
He quickly gets to the point and outlines everything that you need to do to prepare. The workouts are easy to follow and fit on one page. After providing the workout there are photos with directions for completing each move.
The premise for the workouts is to complete a series of moves, each move is done for 30 seconds. This keeps the workouts moving quickly, and before you know it you are done.
No equipment and not much space is required for the workouts so they can be completed by anyone, anywhere.
The second section of the book covers diet and is equally easy to read. It is also laid out for quick reference. The eating guidelines leave a lot of room for people to eat the things they enjoy.
The last chapter provides tips to succeed in the six-week challenge and beyond. While the book states it’s a plan for losing weight and gaining health in six weeks, it encourages people to make the lessons a lifestyle.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
There is so much misinformation about nutrition constantly bombarding people that it is no wonder we are an overweight and unhealthy nation. It is difficult to know what to believe. The simplification of the nutrition portion of the book does not help to alleviate the misinformation. A few more specifics would be helpful to people.
While Rosante provides guidelines for what to eat and when to eat, having recipes to go with the meal plans would be nice especially if the meals followed a similar simple, easy, and time-conscience format as the workouts.
There is too much emphasis place on eating protein. This is a piece of misinformation that is very popular. People believe that they need to eat a ton of protein when they start to workout. According to the Institute of Health 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is sufficient. Where people get confused is that fitness sites, like Livingstrong.com, quote the recommendations from the International Society for Sports Medicine, which recommends 1 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. The small piece of information that people overlook is that this recommendation is for endurance athletes. These are people training for marathons, triathletes, competitive body-building, etc. If your only workout is that which is included in The 30-Second Body then the .8 grams is sufficient.
CONCLUSION
If you don’t have a lot of time and you are tired of workouts that require expensive equipment, videos, memberships then this is an excellent book to pick up. You can get it on Saturday and be ready on Monday to start the plan. Find out more at The 30-Second Body website. If you need help with diet and nutrition then this book may help give you very basic knowledge, but I recommend reading a few other sites for simple nutrition guidelines such as Dr. Fuhrman.
