“Fitness Planner: for beginners” – This planner focuses specifically on the motivation/reason for which an individual should train and defines it as a goal to be achieved. It then progresses into offering information and recommendations on how training should be approached, depending on the chosen goal, by giving examples and beginner training routines. The planner then discusses the idea of “dieting” and prompts readers towards a healthy challenge encouraging them to adopt a lifestyle and abandon the idea of dieting. It then concludes by prompting readers to create a visual representation of their goal, training, and eating lifestyle as a motivational tool for their fitness journey.

If you are looking into starting or restarting your fitness journey and need a little bit of support in organizing it, then this planner will provide you with some serious advice which you should consider through your journey. It includes three beginner workouts and teaches you how to train, even with only one day available from the entire week. It also teaches you to optimize your training sets and repetitions according to your output. This planner offers you a health challenge in order for you to learn about your body and discover a healthy lifestyle.

The main sections are Find Your Motivation, How to Train, and What to Eat.

Find Your Motivation – this section helps you decide what your fitness goals are: building Muscle, being Athletic, or becoming more Powerful; in other words: M.A.P. Of course, you don’t have to choose just one, but you will achieve your goal faster by focusing on just one. Everyone’s journey is unique and should be personalized. The author does an excellent job of giving detailed steps to help readers narrow down what their goal should be.

How to Train –  This section focuses on finding a training split, the right amount of sets and repetitions for each exercise, finding the best exercise, and the different types of exercise (arms, legs, abdomen).

What to Eat – Far from dictating specifically what to eat, he proposes that you test yourself by eliminating certain foods to find out what works best for your body. This includes sugar, milk, gluten, and processed foods. His biggest advice is to stay away from fad diets and instead create an eating plan to get the most out of the foods you eat.

At the end, he provides a layout for readers to use as a visual board to create their fitness goal plans. Overall, it may be a small book, but “Fitness Planner: for beginners” is an extremely useful reference guide for optimizing your fitness goals. The best part is that he emphasizes the need to personalize your training plan to suit your needs and according to what works best for your body. It is recommended for readers interested in fitness, exercise, and healthy living.
