Book Recommendation: "Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?"

New book review!

I just finished reading the book “Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights? Fitness Myths, Training Truths, and Other Surprising Discoveries from the Science of Exercise” by Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D. and I LOVED it.

This book is awesome!!!  It has all of the fitness, health, and nutrition myths that I’ve ever heard of (plus dozens more) and explains what “research science has–and has not– proven to be true.”  I love this book for several reasons:

1) Interesting and Relevant

The best quality of this book, in my opinion, is that it is extremely interesting and applicable to everyone.  Whether you are participate in endurance activities, strength activities,  team sports, or are completely new to exercise, there is something in this book for you.

Alex takes common questions and myths about fitness, health, and nutrition, and answers them for you, all in one book.  No more dealing with unreliable internet or magazine sources —  Only real research studies are used.
