Matt Roberts is celebrated as a personal trainer to celebrities like Madonna and Sting and reading his 90 Day Fitness Plan you can see how seductively he can encourage the most decadent among us to see fitness as an achievable and highly desirable goal. He starts by setting the record straight about why and how fitness can be achieved. Several myths are dispelled along the way to be replaced by heartening facts. We learn that the only way to achieve true fitness is combining several simple elements. Firstly it's a question of nutrition and overall health. Secondly, Matt is insistent on following a dual programme of resistance training alongside aerobic training. Apparently the key to those finely honed celebrity bodies is muscle utilisation--you've got to keep resistance up or your body will reach a point where it operates too efficiently--even to a point where despite dragging yourself to your gym class you are unable to lose weight or burn fat. Nothing here is intimidating; illustrations and information are clear and engaging and no previous knowledge is assumed.
