The Fitness Mindset: Eat for Energy, Train for Tension, Manage Your Mindset, Reap the Results

I wanted to read this for a while after finding the BKF Podcast, and while I'm glad I did (if nothing else to support its content creator, Brian Keane) it was a lot smaller than I imagined. The book isn't an exhaustive read (~170 pages) which means it's an easy to digest book but not as comprehensive as I'd wanted.HOWEVER I'm used to longer reads, for anyone who is a novice at reading, self improvement or nutrition/fitness this book is a GREAT start for you. I've been binge listening to his podcast ^_^" so a lot of the content I already knew. But I did get quite a bit of value from the tips to reduce tiredness/address sleep and stress/anxiety management. The best part about the books format is that you can easily thumb through it to either A) Find what you want to know from it or B) look back at it to remember its advice, as it's easily segmentedAnd if you read this book but don't follow his podcast (BKF Podcast, on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Store, etc.) his podcasts are much more in-depth when you find an episode about the topic you're interested int

Good informative book. Has very good information about vitamins, macros, glucose.

I’m one of those people who have tried the fad diet and latest fitness plans. This book is simple and straightforward. I and inspired and motivated to make some healthy choices in my life. Great book!

The Good- Easy and simple to read not overly complicated.- Organized chapters and you can skip to whichever order you like.- Covers many topics around fitness such as supplements, nutrition, sleep, training etc'.- Motivational and inspiration in all areas of life.- Easy steps to follow and implement into your lifeThe Bad- Not professional writing, this doesn't feel like a coach guiding you but rather a friend ( some might like it better this way though )- Too simple, not elaborated enough on important topics and each chapters feels too short when it can cover so much more- Mindset sections isn't fitness oriented at all, the second half of the book is about building mindset and it's not about fitness at all: the mindset section is about generally building a mindset for life for all topics and areas of your life, it's inspirational, motivational, full of good quotes and metaphors but simply has nothing to do with fitness, though you'll probably learn a few things thereSummaryI give 3 star because it didn't feel like a profession book by a coach, though the book is very easy to read and very inspiring to make positive life changes, it won't take you to the best shape you'll hope for but it's a really good start for beginners and has good info there on how to become your better self !

I follow Brian Keane Fitness on all his social media platforms so I was very excited when he started talking about bringing out a book. I finished the book in just over a day and I loved it, usually I find books about nutrition or psychology overwhelming with information overload but Brian has simplified everything down and made it an easy and interesting but still very educational read. I have given the book to my friend to encourage her to read it but already I'm asking her to hurry up with it so I can have it back as I would like to flip through certain sections again. This book gets five stars and I would love for Brian to bring out another book in the future!

I thought Brian did a great job on this book and the time he took to bring other references in gave it some substance to hold his opinions together. This may be my own fault for not researching further but while the book does have chapters dedicated to fitness. It’s not a book that dials into it too deeply.I learned a few things for sure and even highlight some bits that I found extra good or that I want to come back to, but I can’t say I feel anymore educated on physical fitness with this read. However, the mental aspect of this book offered some great thoughts to ponder on.In my opinion. This is a great book for a beginner to very early intermediate range in their knowledge of the fitness world. You will learn many great bits of information that will help you succeed quicker. As far as more advanced peoples, there are bits and pieces here that are good to learn/be reminded of.If you have the extra time and need a quick book for reading. This is a great one.

I am so glad I bought this book. It is an easy read, and a small book running under 200 pages. There is a lot of information out there on what to eat, what not to, how to exercise and so much of the information is contradictory at times.This book is a good primer for anyone looking to have a healthy lifestyle. I gifted it to my teen son.The author quotes references all through the book and I plan to take these up later.It is a good book for anyone looking for clear, concise directions to embark on a healthy lifestyle.

Quite frankly the best book to buy for fitness and nutrition advice. I've read tons of fitness books and this one is by far the most insightful, practical and value for money. Brian has a wealth of information in this book and it is written in such a way that it flows , I've never had a fitneelss book before that I would describe as a page turner, but i couldnt put this one down. So i read it a second time. If you are starting on the road to fitness or even an avid gym bunny this book is a must read. Well done Brian and I am very much looking forward to your next one.

The book is great! Starts off with simple information and the goes in depth, really easy to understand. Loved the last section especially, Brian’s story is very relatable!

Informative & Emotionally Supportive when it’s a hard truth behind every great effort to reach you Goals.Knowledge can only be beneficial if you know how to put it to work.

For someone struggling/ searching, this could be a good primer, although it feels like scratching the surface on many fronts. The supplements section is where I disagree strongly: 98% of earths population can do with cleaning up their overall nutrition before considering supplementing.I did appreciate the motivation/ mindset section. Brian is so honest to admit that it his digest of knowledge/ insights from those who came before. It adds value.

I've read so much stuff about fitness in the past that I have confused myself many times. "The fitness mindset" keeps it simple but informative. Brian makes it easy and enjoyable to read and once you start, you can't put it down. If you're like me and living abroad where English is not the first language this is a great read to help you get motivated and focussed.Eu li muitas coisas sobre fitness no passado que eu me confundi muitas vezes. "The fitness mindset" mantém-lo simples, mas informativo. Brian torna mais fácil e divertido ler e, uma vez que você começa, você não pode parar.

The book was delivered this evening and I've already finished it. The last time this happened was with Harry Potter and thats saying something when it has been one of my favourite books for years. I've been following Brian for a couple of years and what always struck me was his integrity, honesty and his work ethic so as soon as the book was released I had my order placed and it didn't disappoint. In an industry saturated with people obsessed with self image Brian is a breath of fresh air bringing a platform thats refreshing with his attitude towards the whole person not just the body. Writing something so technical in a manner that is easy to understand is no easy feat but Brian achieved it in this book with ease.I've always loved books with the theme of mindset and mental well being and this will only further my efforts in improving in that area. This book is the perfect gateway into the world of philosophy and mind-set. Its chapters get you thinking of the best version of yourself and your end goals and how best to achieve them.Every part of this book has either given me something positive that I can take into my personal life, my life as GAA player and my role as a coach. I I would honestly buy this book for the mindset alone. I will be recommending this to family, friends and all my team. I've read 100's of books at this point and this is up there as one of my favourites.BUY THIS BOOK!!
