Synopsis

When it comes to looking and feeling your best, less really can be more. Discover how to maximize your sleeping, eating, exercising—even thinking and breathing—with minimum effort.The truth is most people don’t actually need grueling, extreme workouts or aggressively limited diets to lose weight and feel proud to flaunt their bodies in bathing suits. What they need is a plan that is focused on efficiency—the best results for the least amount of time and effort—and one that is actually designed to be maintained for more than thirty days.In The Minimum Method, by nutrition expert and celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, you’ll learn practical advice, simple nutrition truths, and how to exercise smarter, not harder. Instead of unrealistic workouts and time-consuming meal plans, Thurman’s science-backed method is based on getting the maximum benefit out of things like quick and simple “exercise snacks” and sleep hygiene hacks.Thurman doesn’t shy away from the shortcomings of the mainstream health, fitness, and diet industry—in fact, he acknowledges and apologizes for his own past experience in perpetuating the harmful myth that everyone should be pushing their bodies to the limit in order to improve. Now, he’s on a mission to help others prioritize genuine health instead of some imaginary and unattainable standard of perfection.Ultimately, The Minimum Method teaches how to adopt a healthier mindset and lifestyle: feeling your best when you don’t get enough sleep, working fitness into your busiest days, getting back on track when you slip up, and celebrating your progress. With The Minimum Method, you’ll have the key to better health, using small, easy changes that add up to huge, life-altering results.

Goodreads review by Andrew on December 31, 2022

He explained it’s okay to have bad days and not to give every workout our......more

Goodreads review by Kate on November 07, 2023

This was an....interesting read. I will give credit where due, there was some interesting tidbits, but with questionable reliability as the author would say one thing and then say something in later chapters that was the complete opposite. Fortunately this is a field I have studied regularly for ove......more
