<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Are you too tired---or too busy---to exercise? Not sure what to believe about health and wellness? Fitter Faster covers all aspects of getting healthy, shattering fads and misconceptions to reveal how you can exercise efficiently. Its science-based approach and proven 15-minute daily workout plan will motivate you to increase your activity and reap the benefits quickly.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A lifetime of fitness in just minutes a day. I don't have time . . . I'm too tired . . . I hate gyms . . . These are among the most common excuses for not exercising. But the truth is that getting in shape requires less time and effort than you might think. Examining everything from pre-workout stretches to post-workout protein shakes, this science-backed book slices through fitness fads and misconceptions to reveal how you can exercise quickly and effectively. For example, is it best to exercise in the morning? Does aerobic activity burn more fat than weight lifting? You'll also learn how to get and stay motivated, what equipment to buy (and what not to waste money on), which dietary supplements really help, and how to combat muscle soreness. Fitter Faster explains how to: Find the right balance between cardio, strength, and stretching * Slash workout times with high-intensity interval training * Prevent boredom * Enhance fat-burning The accompanying Fitter Faster Plan, developed with celebrity trainer Brad Kolowich, Jr., pulls everything together. Requiring as little as 15 minutes a day, these quick workouts maximize efficiency-allowing you to reap the greatest benefit in the shortest possible time...all without ever having to set foot in a gym. With photographs illustrating each exercise routine, this eye-opening book will forever change the way you work out- and help you get fitter faster.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Advance Praise for <i>Fitter Faster</i> </b> </p> </p> "These workouts by Brad Kolowich are effective!"<b>--Hines Ward, former NFL wide receiver and Dancing with the Stars winner</b> </p> </p> "<i>Fitter Faster</i> is the perfect real-world resource for both beginners and avid exercisers.
