Book Reviews of Joe X: Rethinking Physical Fitness for Adults
Book Review: An Article Wrapped in Extra Pages
Summary: 2 Stars
A lot of books, for all they teach, are actually over-stated articles. But since books are more profitable, writers and publishers prefer them. So you wade through all those pages of a book, only to realize you've learned as much as could have been covered in a less time-consuming booklet. This is such a work. The author does offer a sensible program for getting in shape, but he cloaks it in a lame, poorly written story. Is it worth the money? If it motivates you to get and keep in shape, yes. You may like it. I got awfully bored.
Summary of Joe X: Rethinking Physical Fitness for Adults
This will undoubtedly be the most surprising and unusual book you have ever read on the subject of physical fitness. It will challenge your assumptions and turn your thinking upside down. The book begins with a concise review of humanity's five thousand year quest for health, fitness, and longevity. With the benefit of this perspective, what have been our true best practices? (Hint: proper breathing, form, and range of motion are important; gallons of sweat are not). It ends by detailing an eminently practical and low-impact exercise routine for people of all ages and fitness levels. In between is an entertaining, often humorous, occasionally tragic "fitness fable" that readers will quickly identify with, particularly baby-boomers. Refreshingly absent are the mind numbing case histories, lame before-and-after photos, product line pitches, and self-promotion that fill so much of the genre. The dominant theme is that physical fitness is a mental challenge, not a physical challenge. The leveraging of the psychological aspect of life-long fitness is what especially sets Joe X apart from the rest of the field. Joe X is a fast, enjoyable read, packed with both timeless wisdom and poignant advice. Its content can be put to practice immediately. A gem of a book, you'll want to share it with loved ones, friends, and colleagues.Weight Loss Books
