Fitness for Geeks

lrgI really like my Safari Bookshelf from O’Reilly Books.  I just started Fitness for Geeks to see if they cover some of the topics that I am interested in.  A short list of Bruce’s goals includes how to:

  • Learn to live in the modern digital world and still be physically vibrant
  • Examine apps and widgets for self-tracking various fitness issues
  • Zero in on carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals
  • Find and choose food, and learn when to eat and when to fast
  • Reboot your system through movement in the outside world
  • Select from more than a dozen techniques for your gym workout
  • Fuel fitness by focusing on the science of nutrition and supplements
  • Apply lifestyle hacks, such as high-intensity exercise and good stress

Geek Clock
