Forget The Gym!

Have been looking for a strength training guide during COVID that didn't require going to a Gym/or buying equipment, and 7 X Your Strength Gains Even if You’re a Man, Woman or Clueless Beginner Over 50 has been perfect for my specific goals.
The calisthenic workouts featured in this audiobook have been developed over decades for a variety of body types, and focus on autonomic resistance exercises that are easily performed.

The narrator walks through each exercise in detail, and make it easy to visualize for the listener who is looking to perform each exercise accurately. The narrator speaks in an even, clear tone which makes each technique easy to understand and memorize. I now apply a majority of these exercises in my daily workouts at home, and am finding less and less that I miss the gym.

Highly recommend!

Health is wealth!

I'm a fitness enthusiast and would consider myself physically active. As a woman, I've been working extra hard to help build my upper body strength. Legs and abs come easy for me. Chapter 4 Mastering the Push was my favorite as it most aligns with my current fitness goal. I have always been a gym-equipment kind of person but with the current stay-at-home and social distancing situation, I find this book very useful because it is about bodyweight training, which doesn't require me to go to the gym and use any equipment besides my body. The book gives many new exercise ideas that I can incorporate into my daily workout. Anyone with any level of workout experience can benefit from this book!

Great motivation

I’ve been struggling with weight loss my entire life, and after listening to this book, I was encouraged to change my lifestyle. I did and found that I lost 8 pounds without trying that hard. I replaced the morning meal with a protein shake and stopped eating processed foods.
Great listen and I recommended it.

Refreshing approach to strength if you are over 50

Rex Bonds writes this with an authority that obviously comes from more years than most in the field of strength training. The writing and reading comes over as approachable and based in years of experience. This comes across in some of the detail like advice on injury prevention (something that is much less likely with the program Rex takes you through) and the emphasis on patience and building your own program.

Being over 50 myself and having tried different approaches to health and strength I personally like the emphasis on injury prevention of this approach. Rex has an all round balanced approach and I can see that a well balanced body is both better looking and a great injury preventer. I stress this as I have found remaining injury free one of the key aspects to getting and remaining in good shape at an older age.

I found the repetitive reading of the 4,4,4 and 8,8,8 repetition counts a bit tedious after a while, on listening you have got the idea quite quickly and maybe a shorthand way of stating the rep counts would improve the spoken performance.

I felt the length of book was just right, going into detail where it added value and keeping you engaged in an encouraging view of what is possible if you take your time. I thoroughly recommend this book especially for anyone approaching strength improvement for the first time, as a returning sports enthusiast later in life or just for a practical view of training later in life.
