poorly spoken, but good content

the lecturer in this series is so clearly reading from a script, and reading it poorly. pausing on the wrong point, emphasising the incorrect t words, and misreading words. I'm sure he knows his stuff, but it is harder to listen to than someone who can speak naturally and authoritatively.

the content is good though, especially if you need a reality check on the abundant myths and misconceptions about diets and exercise!

Don’t let your first step be a misstep.

For anyone that is looking to understand your body, and how the foods you eat and the way you exercise affect how you look and feel, this book is simply fantastic, and will assist in guiding you to make correct decisions for your health.

Personally, this year, I’ve made great improvements in my body composition by reducing excess fat and adding some lean muscle mass, but it had come at the cost of my overall energy and satisfaction/happiness. At first, I thought, ‘the longer I do this, the more my body will adjust, and the better I look, the happier I’ll feel’. This is a dangerous approach to new diets and exercise plans that most people go through; it’s ineffective and causes these plans to be temporary, and as a result, pointless. Ormsbee demonstrates that you can make great improvements in your health and fitness goals, while feeling progressively better from day 1. He attacks all areas of health from nutrition and exercise, with detailed scientific research to guide you towards the most efficient lifestyle changes you should make, in order to achieve your goals.

Understanding is the best motivation. Making permanent changes for your health is hard work, but you’ll never be able to take those proper steps if you don’t understand what you’re doing.
