Ticks All the Boxes

I am always wary of fitness and diet books because the industry is so riddled with bs.

You have people with no training calling themselves personal trainers and even going so far as to start life coaching and prescribing foods as nutritionists. James Smith is a classic example and, if I'm to be very honest, so is Melissa.
Between the two of them, James has an exercise certificate. And if I am honest, I will admit that when I stumbled across Alcantara on YouTube and then discovered she was training Kardashians, I groaned inwardly and thought, oh fk no.

That said, I really like this book.

For me, the crux of a decent book is not the plot but how it is delivered by the reader. And it also really helps if that reader is from the same culture as the author. A bad reader can absolutely break a good book.

In this case, Fernanda Hughes has not only NAILED it but has managed to harness that sass that Melissa is known for. I found myself enjoying a giggle or two while listening and you know, ultimately, entertainment is what this Audible game is all about. So it's five stars from me.

In terms of story, you've got the usual poverty based origins and bad health choices going on. But Melissa makes some salient points about rising out of what life throws at you and you cannot take that away from her. Some would say she really got lucky with Kardashian's patronage but, to be fair, the girl is a natural. She is living her vision.

Overall, I was entertained. I liked the life advice aspect and the connection she makes between mindset and fitness success. There's this New York No Nonsense attitude and as an Aussie who just can't stand all that fluff and brand based imagery, I really love that. When she says "...I'm your girl..." I answer "...yes ma'am, you are.."

On my favourites list.

For beginners

This book is directed at absolute beginners who need to be told where their actual muscles are situated on their body. Good, but not a lot to gain if your are fitness savvy already.....

Not an easy book to adapt to audio

The first chapter (her story) was fine.... But as you get into the book, most of it is the speaker reading out workout routine in a monotone voice (eg: number of reps, weight).
I did not find this book motivating at all. I'm sure the hard copy book would be more suitable.
