TBK Fitness, back to basics
If you want to get in shape, or in better shape, following these highly effective 20-30 minute bodyweight exercise routines will get you results. Each exercise is precisely explained and paired with quirky hand-drawn illustrations. No gym membership, no equipment, no commute, no excuses -- TBK Fitness is no nonsense bodyweight conditioning for everyone. Why do you think the military uses such routines? Because they work. Whether you're an athlete or a couch potato, there is plenty in here to challenge you.

Dr. Katz's dietary recommendations also make sense. He advocates a hunter-gatherer type diet consisting of fruits, veggies, nuts & seeds and high quality lean meats/fish. While somewhat difficult to implement if you're vegetarian, the book contains an abundance of well researched and baked-up dietary information. Much of which may surprise or even shock you, considering all the misinformation we're fed by the media.

Dr. Katz has been very forthcoming in making himself available to answer my questions and for that (and this book) I thank him.

Highly recommended.

Tamir Katz gets you results
I first learned about him through his website at tbkfitness.org, and after applying his fitness and diet program to myself (with great success!), I give him my full endorsement. Not only is his program both effective and inventive, he also speaks to his readers in a no-nonsense, clear and succinct style, and respects their intelligence, providing them with the rationale behind the TBK lifestyle and explaining with great deftness the biology behind the body's interaction with the foods that we consume and its response to various activities (or lack of activity, as the case may be). In addition, he provides you with references to tons of research journals, so you can check up on his arguments yourself (in fact, he encourages you to write to him with questions). He's well-read, well-informed, and with his strong scientific background, has a true understanding of what's good for your body. I urge everyone out there seeking a change in lifestyle - an improvement in fitness level, health, and/or looks - to read this book.

BEST FITNESS INFORMATION AVAILABLE
The doctor/author is clearly knowledgeable and brilliant with regard to fitness and health. I read his book before it became so incredibly popular and have been more than pleased with the results I have obtained by following his simple yet well-reasoned principles. I feel younger and more fit and have gained insight into preventative care of myself and my loved ones. I highly recommend this wonderful book. And thank you, Dr. Katz.
