There are so many people who give out advice for free; this free advice might cost you a lot. So it's better to turn to someone who know their niche and are credible. For health and fitness enthusiast who have just started on their paths to leading a healthier lifestyle or the ones who have an sometimes on and sometimes off relationship with a good lifestyle, Fitness Habits might be a good starting manual.With the modern technology and the various advancements that it brings along, we are losing hold over our time and goals. The need of the hour is a healthy mind and body, and it is quite easy to incorporate into your daily life. Covid-19 virus has taught us the lesson how important a fit body and mind is.However, there are a few things that should be kept in mind. Your goals might be the same as someone else but the same process might not work out for you. Instant results are a myth and don't sit for hours adding up your calories. Some motivation and a push in the right direction is what's necessary!

This is an excellent book for the beginners who are looking for some creativity in health at any age. Exercises can be done at any age whether at 70 or 75 or at 80 years age as per personal experience.

"Fitness is a lifestyle to be lived not a goal to be achieved." But I am sure most of us have known indivduals whose work out rituals are targetted at getting into shape or attaining sense of reward eventually. But I believe there exists no "eventually" once you have started to work out to stay fit and healthy. It is a constant ritual to be performed every single day to maintain a healthy life style and rewards will automatically follow up along the way.The book documents multiple researches done by revered beings in the past out of which one from the title 'Atomic Habits' goes as if behavior is insiffuent in any of the certain mentioned stages (cue, craving, response and reward) it cannot become a habit. Although I haven't read the said title yet but I can't exactly support the statement for fitness domain and what I personally could draw out is religiously performing the stages of any activity is a reward in itself which makes one so invested in enjoying what they are doing that I believe they might not even feel the need to look forward to being rewarded eventually because every action undertaken with immense positivity and pious intentions become a rewarding feeling itself.Somewhere I felt more then enjoying the process, the anticipation for end result or the rewarding feeling is promoted. Taking into account the researches shared in book along with the generally talked about mechanisms to develop fitness habits, there is not much I could take away from the title. Most of the the theories are overly exaggerated. But consistency being the key to unlock any perfection or develop healthy habits in life and your environment being the major energy booster are the couple of teachings i found uplifting. Language used is indeed convincing and cover is so pretty.

Nice book. Who are expecting to be fit. I feel like it’s an another version of auto mix habits inclined to fitness. But it’s worth read

This book is written by Amaresh Ojha and Subhra Moitra, it consists of eight chapters, what I liked about this book is that this book not only talks about fitness but it also helps you to make fitness a habit and a part of your lifestyle.I picked up this book because, with this pandemic and everything around, I noticed I was turning lethargic day by day, I needed to boost up the motivation to even get out of bed to move, but this book has helped me to make it a part of my schedule. well according to the book it takes around a while to build a habit but I am sure to make it a part of my schedule.The book has all the answers related to our fitness and why we fail as an individual to make fitness a habit, I enjoyed the writing style of the author. I expected this book to be a little more detailed but overall I enjoyed it.
