Listen Later

Reading great health and fitness books is one of the most effective ways to learn how to build your best body ever and a body you can proud of.

There are many fitness books out there, but we only have so much time and energy to give to reading. We want to make sure we pick the ones that will have the highest return on our investment. So which books should you read?

In this podcast, I’m going to share the nine best fitness books of all time (as of February 2022, at least).

So if you’re interested in getting at least a little bit better at losing fat, getting stronger, performing better, or getting healthier, this episode is for you. I’m going to share the books that have helped me do those things and that can help you as well.
