The risk factors in exercise and athletics are going up. Why? Because people don't have enough information to know how to dose and scale the activities they do. The biggest problem in fitness today is not availability or access to fitness professionals, nor is it availability of information. It's a little simpler than that, and in this collection of recorded live lectures, Gray Cook explains what he's learned about movement and movement learning in his years as a physical therapist and strength coach.

Imagine this (go ahead, it's an easy one): You're bored with your workouts. Nothing's changing; you're not getting stronger or leaner or feeling better, and, heck, maybe you'll just take a layoff and see what happens. You know what happens. That two-week layoff lasts a year, that's what happens! Now consider this: Traffic was light and you're 15 minutes early for your dental cleaning appointment. You flip open your device and bring up your new copy of Before We Go. By the time the dental tech calls you, you've heard two chapters and are amped to get to the gym. Your mind is racing through the appointment, and it's all you can do to stay in that squeaky lounge chair.

Most diet and workout books are focused on the wrong things: They focus on WHAT instead of HOW. The leanest people focus on how, on their eating habits, not on fad diets. Diets that rely on willpower and discipline fail. The path to results is made up of eleven small, simple, step-by-step habits. Rotating through phases of metabolic, endurance, and strength workouts yields the best fat-loss results.

In the world of strength and conditioning, learning how to move others not just physically, but also psychologically and emotionally is paramount to getting the most out of them. People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

No pitcher, no quarterback, no foul ball, and no meddlesome referee. Just you and the iron and the rhythmic sounds of action, the grunts and groans and clanks and thuds.

Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?

Publisher's Summary
In this collection of short talks, I tried to link together what I thought was crucial and important in the fitness field - and in sports in general - that sometimes don't work very well in something like a book or an article. These are all too long for an article, and too short for a book. But they're all very important principles, and these are all concepts I think need to be linked together.

"Simple" recommendations from movement to flossing
Would you listen to A Lifelong Approach to Fitness again? Why?
Dan John returns simplicity and modesty to training rather than trying to make everything so fancy and difficult. Although overall fitness is not easy, it should be simple.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Lifelong Approach to Fitness?
There is a different overall tone when a student of philosophy teaches fitness which is why I have enjoyed Dan John's books and lectures so much. I find I learn new information and hear great ways to "sell" it to clients.
Which scene was your favorite?
Simple vs Easy explanation
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The explanation of modest workouts and modest diets to have sustainability with periods of higher intensity to get results a little faster.

I've read probably everything Dan John has ever written and this was by far the best listen as he expands into the context of his ideas and where you should go with it in beginning to understand the methods. Smart man with an extended knowledge of practical methods that you can immediately implement. Always great Coach.

This “audiobook” is really more of a conversation than anything else. That being said, the subject matter is fitness but the essence is philosophy. I love listening to Dan John speak. This book is great for anyone looking for direction in their heath. It contains som gems you just won’t get anywhere else.

Repetitive and incomplete
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. I would recommend Intervention by Dan John.
Would you recommend A Lifelong Approach to Fitness to your friends? Why or why not?
No. It is repetitive and not as complete as Intervention.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I like Dan's style generally - but these are separate recordings. The recordings are not the best quality - some echo - but this can be ignored for good content.
Could you see A Lifelong Approach to Fitness being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Not Applicable.
Any additional comments?
I really like Dan John's insights on training and diet, and thing that he is worth listening to. If you've never read/listened to Dan John before, you'll get a lot out of this - but you'd be better suited, if you have the time, to go for Intervention. There really wasn't much new in this. Also, in each of the lectures, he mentions the lecture notes, but there is no downloadable content with this Audible book. The description also says about bringing these ideas together - but there was no any part where he tied the ideas together - I think I was expecting a summary section.
