As a client of Mr. O'Brien's for almost two years; I can honestly say that his insight and erudition in the fields of health and fitness are practical and enlightening. He truly practices what he preaches and the results are every bit as high as the enthusiasm and dedication that Matt puts into his craft. Despite a three decade habit of living unhealthy, Matt has managed to increase my strength and fitness by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time, thus restoring energy levels that I had believed to be long gone. He is clearly the most sought after trainer where he works and somehow still found the time to author this book, all in the desire share his knowledge with others. Breaking the samsara of the daily insalubrious lifestyle would have been impossible if not for Mr. O'Brien.

Matt O'Brien's book gives his personal background first, then goes on to provide a wealth of information including workout routines, diet and general fitness guidelines, and the motivation to get really fit . The abundant advice given, backed by scientific data in his bibliography, will give anyone, from a novice wishing to begin physical conditioning, to a trained athlete wanting to move up to the "next level", and provide them with the all of the necessary information to attain their goals.
I found the book to be very readable, yet containing a wealth of information to get me moving to elevate my level of fitness, which is very good now, but could and will be better thanks to the plans given in this book.
The book is for any age group; and even if you are a novice looking for where to start on your fitness program, this book will give you the tools to get going and accomplish your goals.
