Health & Fitness Books, Etc.

Okay, let’s see if Amazon is now responding fast enough to avoid long page loading times.

I’ve added back a set of Amazon recommendations down yonder in the lower right margin, only I decided to try some different ones. Instead of the fiction books I recommended before (which will be back in the future), I created a list of health & fitness books (and one DVD) that have been very useful to me.

I’m extremely suspicious of claims made by health & fitness “experts,” but I’ve used each of these items, and they are all top-notch and really work.

Many of them are available cheap if you use Amazon’s used book (etc.) service. There are lots of used copies since they’ve been out long enough for me to use and gain confidence in them. They aren’t the current “rage” diet books that the publishing industry is pushing this year (e.g., The South Beach Diet). Any diet that new I wouldn’t be comfortable recommending, as I wouldn’t have a track record with it. The newer diet books may be good, but I haven’t personally tried and proven them.

These, I have.

They’re rock solid.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

One thought on “Health & Fitness Books, Etc.”

  1. I’ve had great success with Hypertrophy-Specific Training, a cyclical ketogenic diet and high-intensity interval training.

    It would be neat to see what has worked for other readers.
