Synopsis

From Yale-educated truck driver and fitness guru Siphiwe Baleka, a revolutionary metabolism-spiking program for anyone who feels they don’t have enough time, equipment, or money to get in shape and lose those extra pounds.

When Siphiwe Baleka, who had once been a NCAA Division I athlete, began truck driving in 2008, his whole lifestyle changed. Within weeks his metabolism slowed drastically and he gained ten percent of his body weight. He knew he needed to take back control of his health and wellbeing and change the sedentary lifestyle of truck driving—one of the country’s least healthy industries.

Now, Baleka, founder of Fitness Trucking and full-time fitness coach for Prime Inc., one of the nation’s largest trucking companies—and now one of the healthiest—helps thousands of Prime’s long-haul truck drivers, who have also struggled with weight and health problems, with his 13-week nutrition and exercise plan.

Combining step-by-step workouts and advice on healthy eating (even on the go), 4-Minute Fit is a flexible, yet powerful plan that is proven to boost your metabolism, provide results, and help you get rid of those extra pounds and reach your weight loss goals. Baleka’s program is geared not only for those who drive eighteen-wheelers, but also for anyone who travels for work, has a job that involves a lot of sitting, or doesn’t think they have enough time to exercise and eat better. If you’re frustrated by the weight gain that comes from not being active enough due to your job or lifestyle, 4-Minute Fit is the simple new guide that can radically change your life.

Goodreads review by Robin on August 09, 2017

Deciding whether to add or subtract a half-star, after rating a book 3.5 Goodreads stars—somewhere between liking it and liking it a lot—is always a balancing act. In the case of 4-Minute Fit, the book and the author have a lot going for them. First, the book is short and Baleka is concise in his we......more

Goodreads review by Max on August 01, 2017

+ Detailed information on the biology of exercise/metabolism and nutritional advice. Because of this book, I am now working out for ~20-30 min every day doing different circuits versus the old 4-6+ week programs/3x 90 minutes a week routine, and instead of burning out I'm actually excited about the......more

Goodreads review by Lori on January 21, 2021

I think this book offers those that are really out of shape (like me) an option that is achievable and sustainable. Its very simple promoting HIIT in short sessions.

I felt this was a real, straight-up book and that the author intended to help readers. I managed to skim through this book and it did inspire me to squeeze in exercise where I can. Like most, I am desk-bound for work. When no one's looking, I try a couple of squats and lunges because of this book. A......more

Goodreads review by Wan-chin on March 25, 2024

Anything can motivate weight loss if you find a lasting one! This is a useful book. Though useful, I wonder how much uptake this method has had for successful weight loss. I would recommend coupling Siphiwe's four-minute exercise method with apps to help us with food selection and calorie burning.......more
