I enjoyed this book so much I gave it to all of my personal training clients
for Christmas last year. If you have seen those health rider infomercials
then you probably recognize Covert. You will be pleasantly surprised with
his knowledge of exercise physiology and his great analogies and explanations
of how your body burns fat and what it takes to keep it off. Covert has
a knack for taking the most complex, scientific subjects and breaking
them down so anyone can understand them. Some topics can get a little
heavy but for the most part you will learn fact from fiction and get a
few laughs along the way. Whether you are ready to get back on track,
a weekend warrior or a hard core fitness enthusiast you can learn something
from Covert. Take that four letter word D-I-E-T out of your vocabulary
and get ready for realistic solutions to maintaining your health and exercising
smarter. - Michael J. Merlino
