The World's Fittest Book: How to train for anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere

I've been a "fitness buff, gym rat, 'it's a lifestyle', junkie" for a little over 10 years now. I've gotten my personal training certification and a nutrition associates degree, I've explored as many fitness fads as have been put out there and tested man of them out on myself. Through years and years of work, I've found what has worked for me and been able to keep myself in decent shape. I'd consider myself in the top 20% of the health and wellness of people in the U.S. HOWEVER!!!! This book is the first book that I've read in a long time about the "fitness industry" in which I've gained any kind of useful knowledge! Ross is very insightful in his work and research. He makes all of his findings easy to understand and then put into practice. And overall, this is just a fun read. It's as entertaining as it is academic. I highly recommend this book to anyone getting started on a health and fitness journey and to anyone who has all the experience in the world (this book will prove you don't but Ross, in fact, does) in the industry. His adventures are extravagant and his achievements are far grander and a little insane if I'm being honest. But that's the type of person you have to be to write a book title "The World's Fittest Book". Check it out!

This is probably one of the most impressive fitness (and nutrition) books I've ever read! While I've read many of them over the years, I can say, without a hesitation, this is a very unique, counter-cultural approach to ALL THINGS fitness. He busts myths, smashes records, and even creates new ones that I highly doubt will be repeated. The book is formatted in an easy to read and understand way. It also helps that Ross takes (and gives plenty) of fact based science and explains it in an easily absorbable way without seeming to talk down to or shame you. His willingness to subject himself to whatever neccessary to humbly learn and carefully pass on new fitness information is far exceeding my expectations, and probably most people's who will read this book! If you're looking for a knowledge (and occasionally action) packed book on all things fitness, for whatever you may want to train for, this is a MUST HAVE in your library. Even though he states "this is just a book, not a bible", I consider this as close as one will get! Get it. Use it. Enjoy the results.

I really love this book! I found out about Ross by watching his YouTube red bull series, “The Great British Swim.” I love Ross’s inisghts and philosophies he shares about fitness and have definitely gained much from him. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone. I think he is a great person who is very interesting and open-minded, which makes him one of the greatest athletes of our day. If you want to improve yourself in any and every way physically and mentally then buy this book! 5 stars for sure! Well done Ross and thank you.

Informative and fun. I’m not sure if the author has a short attention span but the paragraphs rapidly jumped from topic to topic. Some people might find this annoying but I was fine with it. I would not describe this as a cover to cover read more a reference book full of articles and anecdotes. I took the information that was usefull to me and ignored the stuffed that was irrelevant to me. That said I found alot of interesting information in the book and I quite liked the authors attitude and writing style. But maybe not everyone cupcup of tea,

Not what I expected.........................it turned out to be more. This book is a mix of a memoir, a fitness manual, and a de-bunker of conventional fitness advice. This is about how Ross went around the world and learned about how people from different cultures and occupations lived and trained. An example of this is how he trained with the Royal Marines; lets just say it put everything he did about to train to shame. Now this book does go into detail about how to train based on his travels and his mentors, but you'll be suprised when you see it. I personally havent read anything like this since American Shaolin and am truly enjoying every bit of it. Ross; thanks so much for writing this! Its an awesome book that needed to come out sooner rather than later.

Perfect

This book is alright. It's not bad or good eithier. I didnt like this book becuase the author talks a lot about his story. He talks a lot about traveling around the world and meeting people. The people he met were into differnt styles of training but he doesn't write what they really do completely. I didn't learn anything from this book. It was alright i wouldnt read it again because it was too much storytelling. I just want to know the facts and the information. Get to the point.

This inspiring, science-backed guide to peak fitness blends personal experience with expert advice. It covers training, nutrition, and a mindset for all levels. With humour and practical tips, it’s a must-read for anyone serious about fitness—whether you're a beginner or an athlete looking to push limits. Highly recommended!

One of the best book i've ever red in sport and nutrition A really complete ouvrage

Super Geschrieben, informativ gute wochenpläne zum nachahmen. Gutes inhtsverzeichnis auf alles was in der Fitness wichtig ist wird eingegangen. Seine eigen Geschichte auch sehr spannend.

Ho divorato questo libro traendo spunti interessanti da ogni capitolo. Un libro che trova il giusto mix tra fatti e osservazioni sul mondo del fitness a 360 gradi (dall'allenamento al recupero e al mantenimento) e le avventure di quest'uomo che porta il suo corpo e la sua conoscenza sullo stesso oltre i limiti dell'immaginabile. Il tutto condito con belle immagini a colori. Bellissimo davvero. Peccato che non ci sia una versione italiana e quindi bisogna avere una buona conoscenza della lingua inglese. Spero vi sia utile

Brilliant book for everyone, lots of great advice.

Brilliant read..
