Publisher Description
YouTube workout video star Zuzka Light presents her long-awaited debut fitness book, with a 30-day fitness regime of powerful, effective 15-minute workouts.
Filming first from a tiny basement in Prague, and eventually settling in Los Angeles, Zuzka Light has single-handedly ushered in the YouTube fitness revolution. Viewers love Light for her short, ferociously effective workouts and her in-the-trenches, never-give-up positive attitude—and she’s racked up more than half a billion views to prove it.
Now, finally, comes 15 Minutes to Fit, Light’s hotly anticipated debut, with a 30-day fitness plan guaranteed to burn fat and build ripped muscles. Based on innovative high-intensity interval training, the workouts in 15 Minutes to Fit are designed to be done anywhere, anytime (no fancy gym equipment necessary), in just 15 minutes a day. This book takes the guesswork out of the workout, providing:
• A 30-day workout plan to whip your body into shape—in 15 minutes a day or less
• A companion meal plan, with delicious and healthful recipes for each day
• Step-by-step photographs throughout to illustrate proper form for the workouts
• Quick facts on health and nutrition to help readers separate fact from fiction
• Support and motivation from Light, who overcame many obstacles to become the female face of fitness
As Light says, “Give me 15 minutes a day and I’ll give you a badass body.” Coauthored by New York Times–bestselling author Jeff O’Connell, 15 Minutes to Fit is the book legions of fans have been waiting for.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Light, a YouTube fitness star, and O'Connell, editor-in-chief of Bodybuilding.com, have created a comprehensive guide to a healthy and fit lifestyle. High-intensity training is the crux of their program, in the form of short-burst workouts designed to fit into even the busiest of schedules. Before Light and O'Connell delve into these exercises, they dedicate valuable space to mental health: setting goals and adhering to positive habits, overcoming negative thoughts, and drawing on support systems. The authors then cover the basics of nourishment before discussing diets, recipes, and which groceries and kitchen tools to purchase. Only after these fundamentals do the "15 Minutes to Fit" workouts appear, complete with thorough instructions and images demonstrating each exercise. Gorgeous photographs accompany the recipes, which include biscuits, salmon, and deviled eggs, among many other mouthwatering dishes. Scattered throughout the text are somewhat gratuitous pictures of Light in minimal clothing. Also included are testimonials from Light's followers and helpful tips such as "Five Ways to Motivate Your Significant Other Without Being a Jerk." Light and O'Connell's easily digestible guide will appeal to people of all ages and skill levels as long as they can spare 15 minutes for a workout.
