As you can tell, I’ve been on a health and fitness reading kick for a while now. I’ve been running a lot, and since my gym is closed right now during this crazy time, I wanted to change it up and keep doing some home workouts.
Easy Read, Hard Workouts
This book has a few sections: a section on general fitness, a section on workout motivation which I really appreciated, a section on common injuries and how to treat them, and a huge selection of workouts.
These workouts can be done anywhere, and require no or minimum equipment. Some require dumbbells or steps but you can do all of these workouts with just your body.
There are different workouts too- for total body, abs, upper body, or plyometrics. I appreciate the foam roller and yoga routine he gives readers, and I love his enthusiasm for movement- he calls movement “pure joy.” I love that. Don’t underestimate the short time limits. The first time I did a 10 minute workout, I was wiped out. It was intense!

If you don’t know about HIIT (high intensity interval) training, that is explained as well, and it has lots of benefits.
I like that there are certain performance tests Dr. Jordan Metzl gives you to see if you need improvement. After I took the tests, I personally need to fix my upper body posture and core, as well as my weak hips which will stop my runners knee.
How Many Stars
4.5 🙂
I really enjoyed this book and will refer to it for years to come. It’s good for beginners as well as seasoned fitness experts but it definitely errs on the side of beginners in terms of the depth of its information, and though I believe diet is way more important than exercise, this is a precious resource. I really recommend you at least google Dr. Jordan Metzl to see what he is all about. He has several books.
