This book is the shortcut.
Have you ever wondered why science can appear so contradictory and confusing?
Why it seems like there’s a study to “prove” or “disprove” just about any claim about diet, exercise, and lifestyle?
And what it really takes to protect yourself from bad science and benefit from good science?
If so, then Fitness Science Explained is for you.
It’s a crash course in reading, understanding, and applying scientific research to get fitter, healthier, and happier, and it’ll get you up to speed quickly regardless of your educational background.
Whether you want to discover and use evidence-based methods for building muscle or losing fat faster, reducing your risk of disease and dysfunction, or maximizing some other aspect of your body, mind, or life, this book will show you the way.
Here are just a few of the things you’ll discover inside:
- The 9 little-known reasons fitness science only appears to be so conflicting and convoluted (but isn’t when you have the inside baseball).
- How to quickly and easily determine the quality of scientific evidence and how much “weight” to give it.
- Precise and layperson-friendly definitions for each of the key terms you must understand to speak the “language” of science.
- A quick-and-dirty breakdown of the anatomy and operations of a scientific study, including methods, statistical analysis, results, funding and competing interests, and more.
- A paint-by-numbers simple checklist for rapidly and accurately assessing whether research passes the sniff test.
- How to find and access high-quality scientific research without spending a fortune.
- And more.
Fitness Science Explained will show you how.
So, scroll up, click the "Buy" button now, and get ready to learn how science can help you level up your life.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
