The first 20 minutes

An encouraging and inspiring read featuring lots of interesting scientific research.

Bottom line: Move your body. However works best for you. Do it as consistently as possible. You will think better, feel better, and live better.

Most of the revelations are considered “common sense” by people well read in the science/how and why of fitness. The science of why was very interesting to me. Still, it was a very enjoyable book and for everything I “already knew” I learned a little more that I didn't.

If you love learning, ignore the negative reviews and give it a chance. Those with beginner to intermediate knowledge should learn some useful things. Those with more advanced knowledge may want to skip this one.
