12 Health & Fitness Mistakes You Don't Know You're Making by author Michael Matthews contains a wealth of information, and I wish the information was presented in a bit more concise manner.The book includes chapters called:You Have Been Lied To, And It's Time To Learn The Truth (as written by the author)The War Against Bs And Broscience12 HEALTH & FITNESS MISTAKES YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE MAKING (as written by the author)38 MORE DISTASTEROUS HEALTH & FITNESS MYTHS THAT KEEP PEOPLE FAT, WEAK, AND UNHEALTHY (as written by the author)BONUS REPORTHe lists sources, but I did not check his sources for veracity, at the end of the book.What I liked about his book was the encouragement of women to take up weightlifting. I used to lift weights over 30 years ago, much to the chagrin of some of my fellow weight lifters, and I would do it again but my body is not in good enough shape.I also liked how he included a statement stating to seek medical advice before starting any exercise, nutrition or supplementation program.I would have liked a bit more concise book, one that offered the key points in a bit more readable fashion as I am busy, and books like this are something I'm reading to quickly retrieve information.Recommend with caveats given.
