Oculus Publishers The Little Black Book of Workout Motivation

In a nutshell, it's a good summary of all the latest motivational research, delivered with a healthy dose of go-get-going tough love. I've read a lot of this stuff before, it's not new (to me), but it's delivered well and includes real actionable steps. I'm not completely sold on the avoid-mediocrity-at-all-costs message - there's a lot to be said for being content with what you have - but even if your goals aren't to be traditionally 'successful' I bet there's something you'd like to be better at (hugging your kids, smelling the roses :)) and this will help you do that. It works well to read between sets!

I really enjoyed reading Mike's new book, and to be honest it was expected if you've read his blog. Everything presented by Mike is FACT-BASED and to me this is key. He does this when providing content within the fitness industry, and now in other areas.I loved the actionable "Do This Now" sections after each chapter, as when reading similar books, I struggle to put the knowledge into practice, so this was extremely helpful.I used a lot of the information in this book in my day to day routine (outside of the gym) and will be my little bible for years to come.Finally, if you're not aware of the author (Mike), I could not recommend his site enough!

Really happy with my purchase. Michael’s book is very motivational and upbuilding on life’s topics and challenges in general. This book is not just structured around workout as I had expected it to be. I am very impressed as this book has surpassed my expectations. I can safely say this is one of my favourite of two, down to earth motivational books to date. This is a book I will repurchase as a gift for others to benefit from as I have.

Bought this book recently, I am 65 years old but still love going to the gym, but my biggest problem has always been what to do and how to do it, this book really helped me out, now I have a set plan every time I hit the gym, a very good read, puts things in to perspective, and helps to organise my goals, will keep referring back to it, well worth the money, so if your in need of a bit of motivation for what ever give this book a go, you wont be disappointed. A lot of what we do is in the mind, get that right and your on a winner, this book certainly does that, just re read it, for that added bit of motivation, to start my new journey.

Would recommend this book highly, for anyone that is lacking in motivation in the gym, this is the book for you. Bought this together with Year One Challenge for Women and a month later feeling committed, fantastic and will be buying for all my friends.
