The Little Black E book of Exercise Motivation

Excellent perspective on fitness and life
Loved this. Such a great collection of deep insights to help with the practical stuff of working out, as well as just crushing at life. Excellent book, highly recommended.

BUY.THIS.BOOK.NOW . Do not hesitate.
The title of this review says it all. This book will send you on an ascending trajectory no matter who you are and what you want to achieve. That’s all there is to it. This will be the best $20 (it’s not even $20 I’m rounding off!!) you will ever spend ON YOURSELF because that is money invested in you from which you will reap never-ending benefits for years to come.I cannot begin to tell you how worthwhile this book is. Read it cover to cover, and I promise, you will at least find one nugget that will work for you, and which will grow into this virtuous circle and you will come back to it for more nuggets, and before you know it, you will find yourself better every day from it and crushing goal after goal. And while you’re on Amazon, do yourself a favor and buy also a nice highlighter, some sort of page markers, a pencil (to take short notes in the book itself) and a notebook (to write down comments outside of it!). I have discovered Mike Matthews about 16 months ago and slowly but surely been following his advice. Every cent cent I spent on his products paid dividends by the 100 fold and I today feel and look better at 40 than I ever did my twenties or thirties. Why are you still here reading me? Push the “Buy this now” button already:) ps: Just in case you’re suspicious, this is my honest opinion, I’m not affiliated with M. Matthews or Amazon whatsoever – that stuff just WORKS and he deserves loud shout-outs and credits for doing all the hard work for us, and yeah, the money too!!! He’s like the mother penguin that does that thing for her kid. Wait, never mind, that’s kinda gross ahhhaha. Go buy the dang book already : ) I promise you, you won’t regret it! I am amazed and appalled there are only 49 reviews about it!! There should be thousands of it!

Not what I expected
I gave it three stars because I suppose it had some helpful information in it. I expected a book to help me workout. I got a self help book.In the book you described the greatness of people and how they did amazing things. Tom Brady probably the best quarterback ever but he made it because he worked hard. I agree but he also made it because he was in the right place at the right time. I don’t want to know how the super succesful lucky to be in the right place at the right time people made it? How about the other 2000 quarter back want to bees who didn’t get that break and had every bit as much or more talent than him, now they are high school PE teachers and still succesful in their own way everyone can’t be great or great wouldn’t mean much. It would be like Christmas every day. I Want to know how an incredibly average guy can keep going every day. Someone who fights for everything he has including keeping his shotty body in great shape.Then you go on about the Navy Seal once again an elite but with that said are you promoting hurting yourself really I mean if I have to run untill my kidneys stop functioning and my feet break to survive I will find a way but to do it just to finish a race is ludacris. I have spent better than 37 years in the military and respect the elite Specialists like Rangers ad Seals but once again they are only .1 percent of the picture. If I go out and hurt myself to prove a point then the Rangers and Seals can’t get anywhere because I wasn’t there to fix their airplanes and I can’t do that if the person in finance doesn’t pay for the jet fuel or the person in sevices doesn’t make and supply us with food and so on.Sorry I went on a rant but I really was looking for a book to help me workout. I read and followed bigger stronger leaner bought the 1 year challenge have turned several people on to it and love it. I thought this was going to be in the same category. It was not.I use Legion protein greens and pre workout and love them also turned many people onto them.You said you wanted honest reviews and I debated on reviewing this at all but if you wanted my honest review I respected your other work well enough to give it to you..Thanks Gary

This is an amazing book. The title doesn’t do it justice, nowhere near. You think it’s going to be a list of motivational tips and positive affirmations, but it is actually an entire philosophy.I was impressed with how well the book is written (good English, often funny, always very readable) and for some reason I wasn’t expecting that from a fitness fanatic! But it really is well put together and very easy to read and understand. The “Recommended Reading” suggestions at the end of each chapter mean you could pursue this subject (and related ones) for years!I was fascinated by the comparisons drawn between different areas of normal life and fitness goals. I believe Mr Matthews really understands the difficulties many people have in losing weight and getting fitter and healthier. He doesn’t assume you have unlimited time or money.This is a philosophy, as I said, but it’s a practical one, a handbook for success and fulfilment.The book addresses your mindset, your ability to set and achieve goals, the way you could and should look at your aims, values and environment, the way you approach and think about these values – and how to handle failure.Mr Matthews is very clear in his advice and guidance. If you follow it, you will succeed. Simple as that. If you want to lose weight, build muscle, get fit, look fit, be healthy, you can. This advice works.If you have any interest in improving your health, fitness or general lifestyle, you should read this book. Don’t be fooled by the title!

A very good book summarizing many resources dealing with motivation, willpower, plan for action in a non-bullshit way. Michael writes straight to the point regarding fitness journey and doesn’t just rely on a unique method but on the best techniques. This book will both help with workout motivation and save you a lot of time reading all the resource materials and references that he stand upon.
