HIIT and the WHY

We all want to be able to do a quick workout and get good results. This system by Krista utilizing HIIT bodyweight workouts and minimal equipment helps meet that niche. We all have 12 minutes. I love that this book is not about being skinny. It's about being strong and fit. That is for men and women. The exercises are explained in a logical manner and have pictures that show you how to do it. In the time of Coronavirus, having this as an additonal resource has been invaluable. Krista, thank you for writing this and for including a whole section on Mindset before entering into exercises. It is an underutilized component of exercise and success that is still rarely talked about in books, despite the overwhelming evidence.

Great Short Workouts for Young Fit Exercises

This is an informative guide to working out less but more effectively through high-intensity interval training. Get really fit in minutes per day, rather than hours, by using your bodyweight and simple equipment. In fact, the exercises are fully illustrated through photos shot outside in a park. So you can get your Vitamin D and get fit at the same time. Also offers strategies for improved mindset, nutrition and goal setting. One caveat: The book seems more apt for young already fit exercisers. Alas, not for older bodies like mine. 3.5 of 5 Stars Pub Date 31 Mar 2020 Thanks to Tiller Press and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine. #The12MinuteAthlete #NetGalley

Great workout book

Krista Stryker helps you to learn how to unlock your true athletic potential. This is for anyone who has a body and wants to get stronger and start living their healthiest life. I found the exercises to be helpful and changed my eating habits a bit, so this book really helped me in getting healthier. The exercises are not hard and since everything is shown step by step it makes it easier to follow. I enjoyed this and added it to my daily routine. Thank you Netgalley and Tiller Press for giving me an opportunity to read this.
