Product Description

Review
"'The false belief that performing hundreds of sit-ups every day in an effort to flatten the stomach is perhaps the most popular myth I have ever had to deal with. They will give your stomach muscles the strength to bounce bullets but crunches will do nothing to reduce the amount of fat you have on your tummy...'"

Product Description
Trying to keep ourselves fit and healthy is a challenge at the best of times. It seems that there is always someone ready to give us a piece of advice on how to exercise, lose weight or have a more nutritious diet. But how much of what you are told can you believe and how do you know which pieces of advice to take seriously?This book addresses questions such as: If I exercise my tricep muscles, will I lose my bingo wings? Why do I need to supplement my diet with vitamin C (I eat three oranges a day!)? Do you burn as many calories walking a mile as you do running a mile? And, does drinking beer give you a beer belly?Every day, top personal trainer Graeme Hilditch is asked just these kind of questions and, in this intriguing and informative book, he uses his extensive expertise in fitness and nutrition to explode some of the most common myths. His explanations are light-hearted and accessible to everyone and his no-nonsense advice will tell you everything you need to know in order to live a fit and healthy life.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's ok to hate sit-ups! What a relief!, 24 Mar 2009
By Maria McCarthy (UK) - See all my reviews

I've always hated sit-ups and it's great to know they're an optional extra! This book will tell help you sort out the wheat from the chaff when it comes to fitness - and realise what will make a positive difference to your health and fitness levels and what's an optional extra (or not worth bothering with at all!). If you want to get as fit as you can in as fun and easy a way as possible, this book is perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super read, lots of information - love it., 19 Jan 2008
Despite the fact that i hate all diet books, my book shelf is still full of them in the vain hope that one of them will make a difference - one day!
I bought this book on whim and thought it would just sit next to my others to gather dust - how wrong could i be. This is so different to all other health and fitness books because it tells you "how it is" rather than being full of the false hope and promises similar books give. Its easy reading, funny at times, and really fascinating. I'm looking forward to the follow up of more "myth busting" health tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing, fascinating and easy to understand, 19 Jan 2008
I bought this book after i heard the author speak about it on the radio and i thought it might be worth a read - i wasn't wrong. This book is written in a really light hearted way and is not only really interesting to read but also eye opening - i know now where i have gone wrong over the years in my plight to get fit and lose weight! It's relevant to anyone interested in health and a fantastic book for the bed table or downstairs toilet.
