Summary

The Sunday Times best seller.

How to train for anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere.

The World's Fittest Book is set to become every fitness enthusiast's bible. Dubbed the body's complete user guide, it will become the go-to resource for learning all you need to know about building muscle, losing fat, eating (healthy) cake and unlocking your superhuman physical potential. 

Packed with workouts the author tried and tested in the pursuit of multiple world records, it's more than a book, it's the greatest training tool ever written! Designed for anyone who wants to make permanent and lasting changes to their food and fitness, it's the first book to combine the teachings, tips and tricks of Olympic and world champions into one easy to follow resource.

This book will show you how it's possible to:

  • Live below 10 percent body fat with the aid of chocolate and Mayan secrets
  • Add 27 percent more muscle mass, courtesy of tips from world heavyweight champions
  • Increase speed by 10 percent, thanks to gold medal winning Olympic sprinters
  • Squat, deadlift and bench weights you never dreamed of lifting, with the guidance of the world's strongest men
  • Improve endurance capacity by 60 percent, thanks to the knowledge of world champions in multi endurance-based sports

...all of which the author has achieved during the 10-year 'fitness pilgrimage' that has taken him around the globe. 

Aiming to be the most eclectic and comprehensive fitness guide ever created, The World's Fittest Book is the sum and substance of over a decade of research and the collective wisdom of some of the greatest minds and athletic bodies in history. By learning the lessons within it, listeners will understand 'fitness' better than the vast majority of the population. Every chapter has an easy to digest workout within it and can be listened to individually. But if you want to listen to the stories and the science behind the routines, that's there, too. 

Until now, there hasn't been a book covering such an ambitious range of areas, catering for the casual fitness enthusiast seeking clarity and guidance in their own gym routine and kitchen habits as well as the seasoned sportsperson who's hit a plateau and is searching for tips, tricks and tweaks they can make to their training and diet. This book changes that and will take you on a journey to whatever level of fitness you want to find.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Great read, a fitness book for everyone.

Inspirational, hilarious at times and hugely informal.
I especially love the accents Ross puts on when quoting his friends/training partners. It really breathed life into the characters no matter how far from the real voices they were lol.
Researched backed and brilliantly wrote, definitely worth a listen if you're the least bit interested in fitness and how to become better in any & every way.

Great book

This is a great book; well narrated by Ross and his real life experiences have been re-told to give fascinating context to each chapter. Well worth a listen. I am eager to listen to his next Audiobook, The Art of Resilience

Excellent and thought provoking

A good overall guide to the basic of fitness. Ross is very knowledgeable and his theories are backed up by well researched opinions and by the successful results of his own performance. Don’t buy this if you’re looking for a “do this to get for” though as the idea is to learn how to do it for yourself.

Lots of reviews mentions that this isn’t designed to be an audiobook and this is clear. Frequent reminders to visit Ross’s website can be a little frustrating but the resources are worth the look and this shouldn’t put you off.
