Book excerpt: Many people place value on fitness but either don't do it or give up too quick. The reason is that they have unrealistic expectations and do not know their body type to match their training plan to reach a goal and the know-how to do it. The Fitness Mindset speaks of the what and the why and shows you the how. Apply each habit in each chapter of this book, focus on the "process" (rather than the goal itself), and reap the results! Review "A comprehensible and motivating self-help book to get into shape with some excellent information about macronutrient ratios, injuries, and biomechanics of safe and effective lifting. Knowledge to get the beginner started and a lot to offer to the experienced lifter who needs to grow and add diversity to his or her workout routine." - Llewellyn Williams, MD "An easy to follow and insightful read. Getting your head into the game of physical fitness is often times the hardest part. A lot of great ways to get motivated and stay motivated." - Matt Atwood, Competitive Bodybuilder "The Fitness Mindset is like having Randy as your personal fitness coach with the practical wisdom he shares." - Ira Byock, MD "Read this book and learn how seven habits can help you train at a peak level and become unstoppable." - Jacques Pitcher, 3x North American Masters Champion and NPC Judge ​​​​​​​ Overview If you want to build muscle and lose fat, then the objective is to train for muscular endurance 60 minutes every day, and rest days become optional. The Fitness Mindset shows you how to apply this to a domestic 9-5 lifestyle: work, train, home, sleep, repeat. Many people do not get results as quick as they want because they are not focused on "exercising" to perform at an optimal level, but are rather distracted by things going around them. Either exercise intensity decreases or exercising becomes harder to complete. A 60-minute weight training and 60-minute cardio session each can incinerate up to 1,000 calories an hour when performed at a steady-state of 80% HIT! Building muscle and losing fat simultaneously in the quickest amount of time is what "exercising" is all about. This is the core of The Fitness Mindset: 7 Habits For Peak Performance. Feel and look better within days and increase your physical fitness four-fold in 12 to 16 weeks! Intensity is measured by how much muscle tension you can create in the shortest amount of time to fatigue the muscles so that they can adapt and get stronger and bigger! Getting results by altering physical appearance and improving functional ability is not 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, but quite the opposite: 80% exercise and 20% nutrition. We spend less time meal prepping during the week than exercising. "Exercising" takes more time (and effort), even in preparation. Recent studies show that exercising influences healthier eating...for increasing performance and getting better results! General training variables (sets, reps, rest days) and training systems (high-volume vs high-intensity) set forth in The Fitness Mindset can help you determine what type of training routine (full-body vs split), method of training (ascending pyramid, 5x5, reverse pyramid), and training techniques (supersets, burnsets, dropsets, rest/pause, etc.) is best for your body and goal to get the results you want!
