Fitness "guru" pretends to be an expert

I am a personal trainer, I hold a degree in exercise science and a masters in clinical exercise science.

This book is nothing but a compendium of fitness flavoured bullshit, this guy seems to uncritically believe everything he's ever heard. My favourite quote from the parts I managed to listen to before I gave up under the strain of too much bullshit:

"If you want to activate the right hand side of your brain you should spend x minutes breathing through your right nostril."

For a start left-brain right-brain stuff has been thoroughly debunked, also any child pointing at an anatomical picture of the airways can see that it doesn't matter which nostril you breath through, the air is still going to your lungs. So couldn't possibly affect which side of the brain the oxygen gets to.

This is just one example of the absolute swill this idiot is peddling.

This book is £50+ on amazon in hardback, thank goodness I just used a single credit to get the audio book, because I would be FUCKING FURIOUS if I had spent that much!

Lots of waffle

Not meaning to dismiss the author’s work but there is a lot of filler within this audiobook . Chapter 15 negates anything that the author tries to put across by saying that all bodies get old , all athletes slow down etc ( we know that ) To me , after listening to that part of the chapter , it felt like what’s the point if we are going to wither and die regardless.
Chapter 17 about symmetry, why go on about your computer? It just came across like a promotional advert for the manufacturer.
All in all this book has good points but it also has parts that , to me , are un necessary.

Great content,poor narration!

Ben why have you not narrated your masterpiece? I know it takes time to narrate but would have made the book perfect and easily led to a Five Star review. Very surprising as you are such a good narrator who has an ability to bring content to life! Please narrate this book as the current narrator has mispronounced many words and frequently displays a lack of understanding of the content.

One very long advert

This book is packed with products and supplements for you to buy it's annoying. It does not go 5 minutes without giving you yet another thing to buy. Obviously the author is earning more from the adverts than the book.
Any useful information is obtained from youtube rather than research papers.
Annoyingly annoying!

Exceptional piece of work

A truly comprehensive and exceptional piece of work Ben. Worth the time investment and no doubt I'll be returning to this audio and the hardback for many years to come. Great narration James.

To complicated book for the “normal” person.

A good book but way to complicated methods and terms. Can recommend it if your hard core about life hacks.
