The Power of Fastercise: Using the New Science of Signaling Exercise to Get Surprisingly Fit in Just a Few Minutes a Day
A revolutionary program of short burst, high-intensity exercise that uses your body's signals to curb hunger as it burns fat and builds muscle
Over the last 26 years, thyroid pioneer Denis Wilson, MD, has trained thousands of physicians on the crucial relationships between the thyroid system, metabolism, and body temperature. He’s heard patients recount their inability to get fit using conventional approaches, and he’s understood their frustration. Based on the latest medical research, Dr. Wilson has created fastercise, a revolutionary practice that uses brief, strategically timed bursts of exercise to cancel hunger pangs, allowing people to more easily stick to a healthy eating plan and shift their bodies toward becoming leaner, faster, smarter, stronger, and healthier. Fastercise holds the promise of vindicating and liberating many of those who have struggled to improve their fitness, enabling them to transform their lives and reach their full potential.
By combining simple analogies and clear explanations of the physiology of the body’s energy pathways and response to food and exercise, Dr. Wilson reveals how conventional approaches to dieting and weight management can actually fight against the body’s priorities and lead to frustration and poor results. Fastercise is a time-efficient, convenient, and natural approach powerfully signals the body to burn fat and build muscle synergistically, leading to surprisingly beneficial and quick results.
The Power of Fastercise explains how fastercise can help • Burn fat without going hungry
• Build your mitochondria to burn more fat and provide greater energy
• Stimulate muscle growth in just a few minutes a day
• Shift your body composition to less fat and more muscle
• Boost your body temperature and metabolic rate
• Look and feel younger

This book contains a lot of good information regarding exercise and metabolism. I've read multiple books on metabolism and watched countless videos, so I was able to keep up. Unfortunately, most people trying to read this book will probably give up after the first chapter. The good information is buried underneath research and explanation of why this or that works. Bullet points and call outs would have done wonders for reading and comprehension.
Fastercise is comprised of "shivercise" and "tightercise", very simple and effective small movements that anyone can do. Fastercise is worth looking into if normal exercise hasn't worked or you have limitations. I would recommend the Fastercise website and their FAQ section and YouTube videos over this book.

Maybe it's because I've never heard of exercising by simply shivering or tightening my muscles but I thought the concept was a little out there. The signalling comes in by singling your body to shiver or tighten the muscles.

Lots of nutrition, hormone, and thyroid information, far too many occurrences of the annoying pronunciation "carbohydret" but no actual explanation of how to Fastercise. Did I miss it? Maybe something was lost by listening to a library loan rather than a printed or purchased copy that would have the diagrams.
