Publisher's summary

This Is the Sixth and Best Yet from Author James Atkinson: Fitness & Exercise Motivation.

Without the right mindset, no one will reach their health and fitness potential, and that's exactly what James Atkinson focuses on in this book. James Atkinson knows what it takes to set a goal, and only through sustained, consistent motivation will that goal ever be met.

This book is for anyone who wants to make a change in their life but doesn't know where to start, or doesn't think they have the motivation to meet their goals because after all, motivation is a shared quality in any type of fitness goal.

This book is about getting started toward achieving your goals, from the very first thought, at the truest starting point. It is about adopting psychological preparation and a certain mindset, and Atkinson strategically guides the listener through that process. He emphasizes that, without the right mindset, no one will reach their potential.

Atkinson is passionate about helping people meet their health and fitness goals, and that's why he wrote this book.

In this book, you'll learn:

  • How to step out of your comfortable environment and make choices that will make it easier to reach, surpass and maintain fitness goals.
  • How to decide what you want to change or work towards, find a program to follow and build on a solid foundation.
  • How anyone can achieve remarkable results in fitness and fat loss by becoming responsible enough to build mindset to the point that you are self-motivated to make the decision to make it happen.
  • Atkinson's personal experiences, lessons learned and practical advice.
  • The tools you need to reach your fitness potential, including a customizable fitness chart.

Whether you're trying to lose a few pounds or train for a particular event, Atkinson is there to help motivate and give you the strategies you need.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Very practical, nothing new

in reality when we read these books, we generally already know what we should be doing. What we get here is practical reminders with a strong baseline for a fundamental fitness mindset. Not much new, but not much to criticise either.

Great book

This is a great book to listen to if anyone is thinking that it’s time to start a new chapter in fitness but not sure where to begin. The book provided the necessary motivation to start an exercise program. It also laid out the planning process that most of us skip when starting this endeavor. I enjoyed the stories that put into perspective some of the stumbling blocks we can run into and how to overcome.
The reader was good and easy to listen to. I enjoyed hearing the author’s real voice at the end and his sincere request for a review.
Dividing the book into two parts was also good for me. Thanks Jim!

Really sound advice.

In this book, Jim conveys really sound fitness advice and offers several free resources from his website. He even offers one-on-one email coaching for listeners and readers of his books. His insight into what it takes to stick with it in the gym is very valuable, and his advice on diet is useful, too. The narrator is excellent.
I liked this book very much.

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for this honest review.

Great motivation

I needed a good motivation book and this book was a good start on a journey - entering the men’s physique competition. I have only 11 weeks to get ready for it.

Good tips to get started

I like the way the author gets right to the point. Probably the best feature of this book is its not pitching a single diet or exercise routine. He focuses on helping you motivate yourself to do what is needed.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Get Motivated!

As a personal trainer, I really enjoyed reading this book and was hoping for some motivation that I could bring to my clients. James Atkinson really knows his stuff and he just seems like he really wants people to succeed. I'm excited to use his methods in my own personal life to motivate myself and others around me.

Very Good

The book was right on target and very helpful. He breaks fitness down into three parts, mental training, diet and exercise in that order. I emailed the author and he personally replied and emailed me 6 recipes that he actually uses. This audiobook deserves a high review.
