"Fit is the New Skinny: The No-BS Truth About Getting Thinner, Leaner, and Stronger," by Michael Matthews, is a free ebook with general information about strength training, and the author's perspective on losing fat and gaining muscle. This book is made for women, though anyone could benefit from its contents.In addition to teaching strength training tips for women, the author talks about the health and fitness industry and how flawed it is. The book also covers muscle building myths and truths, and fat loss myths and truths. The advice and information the author provides seems logically correct, although he also provides a unique outlook on the fitness industry, and he reassures women by explaining why weightlifting won't make them bulk up.Ultimately, this free book is a teaser that is meant to direct readers to the author's main books that cost money. However, it is still informative and interesting to read, and it was worth my time.
