Reedsy Book Review

For Think Fit 2 Be Fit 4th Edition By Rebekah Jorgensen

I really enjoyed this book. While I didn't learn a ton of new things from it, I think it's an excellent book for young adults who are just starting out in their own independent lives and want to set a strong healthy foundation, or for those who are a little older that know they need to make a change but aren't sure how.

The book is fairly basic in terms of health tips. It focuses mostly on movement and diet, which are two huge elements of maintaining physical health. It also talks about the importance of setting goals to push for progress. And it's not just about having goals and knowing what the right things are, it's about thinking in healthy ways, so that healthy living just becomes a habit instead of a chore.

I like that the book included a thorough self-assessment. It was interesting that it's at the end of the book instead of the beginning, but it does make sense - set the stage for why and how to make healthy choices, and then provide a way to get a baseline. Then readers are in the right mindset for that self-evaluation and also know how to set goals to be able to improve them. It also provides a very healthy way to compare metrics against one's own self, instead of trying to compare to an unrealistic mythical ideal.

The book emphasizes small and steady changes, habits that add up and eventually turn into a healthy lifestyle. There's nothing crazy or earth-shattering, and everything in the book is doable and manageable, no matter what someone's fitness background is. It's written in clear language, in a comfortable tone, with manageable chapters and trustworthy information. It's a great book for anyone who wants to improve their health in a realistic way.
