This book was received as an ARC from Tiller Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in that review are completely my own.

This book is for someone like me. We get judged everyday on our appearance rather in the real world indirectly or on social media and we see all these campaigns featuring fitness models and that is the measure we have to live up to. Fitness is not about how you look but how you feel and the improvement of you health that comes with it. Meg Boggs does a great job with explaining all of the different stages of development and the appropriate exercises that coincide with the ailment such as pain and pregnancy. It was very courageous of Meg to share her story and reveal the photos of her training.

We will consider adding this title to our R Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I actually hadn’t heard of Meg before this book, but I am already a fan, and instantly followed her on social media. This book was just what I needed. I love that she showed we can be healthy and work on our fitness without worrying about what diet culture tells us is healthy and fit. She’s so strong, and proves that she’s an athlete and that doesn’t have to have a certain look. Recommend this for anyone, but especially those who have dealt with poor body image and mental issues that come with it.

Great athletic first timer book. The explanation of how the author got to the point of becoming fit. How its okay to look different than most gym rats and diet crazed women/men. This book fits the spot for most or all early exercisers to the most accomplished athletes. The addition of work out suggestions along with a slight mention of food intake/quality. Makes this publication a great one to have in a collection. Well Done Meg!

Great!!! Love how flexible this book is in it's approach. Meg is a powerhouse, and I hadn't heard of her before picking this up but am so glad she has this platform. Learned so much
