Don't Lose Out, Work Out!

Amazing book! Valid information has been distilled and conveyed in layman's language. Great job. So many of us are unaware of the science behind exercise and we get a lot of conflicting data from various formal and informal sources. I have just started my Strength Training journey in the last 6 months. I had to refer to various / multiple sources to get accurate information, it was an herculean task. But with this book, you need not wander around for verified facts She has succinctly clarified all Myths and shown a clear path for great health and exercise. A must read for everyone who wants to embark on a journey of Exercising and Getting Fit. Also a must read for all the couch potatoes of the world! (It may just inspire them to achieve fitness goals).

Another good book by Rujuta after her first book 'Don't lose your mind lose your weight'. The author has explained in detail on how understanding the various energy systems can help us distinguish between which energy system to employ to gain the changes in our body we desire. I thought understanding terms like epoc/afterburn is useful towards understanding the type of exercise one should do to have a fit body for life and does not need to stop after just losing a few pounds. The author emphasizes on fitness being a long term activity and not just end with getting a flat stomach which one anyway cannot sustain without treating exercise as a part of life. I recommend every one desirous of getting a good, fit body to read this book. Having said the above, and being a marathoner myself, I have to say I disagree on the author's criticism of the new breed of aspiring Indian runners running a marathon in what she thinks to be a longish 5 hours. Running a marathon by working professionals like us itself Is a big win for us. We do not aspire to run a marathon in 2.5 hours like elite runners as we do not go through the kind of training they do. However the book on the whole is engaging and a very good read. Go ahead and read it!

This is the first workout book I read working out. It is packed with tons of good advice and busts dozens of myths that plague the fitness industry with respect to fads, diet, exercise and even Yoga. Virtually everything I read in the book (eat more fats to lose weight, strength training over cardio) matches what my professional dieticians and trainers say today. Its better to not just start walking as doctor said to lose weight but trust fitness professionals. The tone of the book is chatty and full of Hinglish that made it fun to read.

Mind blowing rather Mind OPENING. Recommend it to every single person who believes in blowing the myths of our adulterated life. Kudos to Rujuta for sharing her wisdom to the world. Don't just read her books but also ask people around you to read them and spread this valuable wisdom around you because this is the need of the hour. Reading through her books you will realise what kind of a fool you have been all your life and believed in everything you just heard from any tom dick and harry. I wish you write more and more books because I am sure we are not gonna have such efficient and realistic Nutritionist in lots ever! So you might just do this world a favour and keep your wisdom alive forever in the most precious form of Books.

It is a good book to learn about exercise and science behind it. It gives you many myth busters like Ghee is good for health.. Although author had tryed to keep it as non technical as possible but still lots of technical terms end up confusing you. For a serious take away it has to be read twice.

Good book for changing your lifestyle for better but not good with the terminology used in it. This book caters to people who know English, Hindi and to some extent Marathi languages only. I loved the book for its content but there are many times that the tone was judgmental and condescending. Keeping these two things aside I felt the book was well written and one can learn a lot from it. I'm glad that I will be able to make some good lifestyle changes for my better health.

This is a good technical book on exercise science. I prefer to read a language not as we speak informally but the contents are good. Very informative, so I use it as a reference book. I would not recommend reading this book in one go to get the best of this book. I have tried to implemented some of the recommendations, it definitely showed improvement on my performance, specially endurance. I am taking it a step ahead by starting Yoga the Iyengar style.

A must read for every person who wants work on themselves. Very educational on weight training, cardio and yoga. I will never look at exercising the same way again. Her style is very entertaining as well which is just a bonus.

The book is very useful to those who wants to understand the benefits of working out! Lots of myths were decoded, plenty of excellent workout advices and workout plan! The book can be used by anyone of any age! I read the previous book by the author, I really like her informal conversations style of writing!

The author does not hold back. This book gets straight to the point using simple language and humour. I recommend this book to experienced fitness fanatics and novices.

A very good book telling about exercise n fitness ...I like Rujuta's all other books too.....my life has changed after reading and following her books .....thumbs up Rujuta

Highly recommend this book for the basic of workout

This book is so honest. Rujuta has written her heart out in this book. Nowhere she tried to hide any secrets that she learned over the years. Hats off!!!. I am a big fan now.
