Work Out: The Revolutionary Method of Creating a Sound Body to Create a Sound Mind

Somewhere between chasing other animals for food and clicking a mouse to purchase a toaster oven on Amazon.com, we stopped living a physical life. Instead, we are encouraged to work on our inner selves, to practice mindfulness, to meditate, and to get our minds right, whatever "right" means. Social media gives us "Monday Motivation" and shouts daily positivity. Law of attraction followers say that our thoughts directly change our lives, that we can manifest what we want from the universe. Many books are written about mindset and how our minds can control everything, from our love lives to cancerous tumor growth. Prominent people tell us to start from our why and look inward to live our best life.\nBut that's all wrong. Or, at least, incomplete.\nWe are physical animals, first.\nApart from its numerous well-documented health and aesthetic benefits, physical conditioning, whether running 10 miles or squatting 200 pounds, literally changes you on the inside. It strengthens your belief in yourself and what you can do. It fills the hole created by insecurity.\nThis transformation starts with physical conditioning.\nBy working on your outside Body, you can actually alter your inside physiology, change your Brain chemistry, and change your outlook on life... and on yourself.\nIn this transformative book, Work Out reminds us that the human existence is physical and, when you train your Body from the outside in, rather than from the inside out, profound changes occur to your Brain, which stimulates your Mind and your approach to life.
