About this listen
The Sunday Times best seller.
How to train for anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere.
The World's Fittest Book is set to become every fitness enthusiast's bible. Dubbed the body's complete user guide, it will become the go-to resource for learning all you need to know about building muscle, losing fat, eating (healthy) cake and unlocking your superhuman physical potential.
Packed with workouts the author tried and tested in the pursuit of multiple world records, it's more than a book, it's the greatest training tool ever written! Designed for anyone who wants to make permanent and lasting changes to their food and fitness, it's the first book to combine the teachings, tips and tricks of Olympic and world champions into one easy to follow resource.
This book will show you how it's possible to:
- Live below 10 percent body fat with the aid of chocolate and Mayan secrets
- Add 27 percent more muscle mass, courtesy of tips from world heavyweight champions
- Increase speed by 10 percent, thanks to gold medal winning Olympic sprinters
- Squat, deadlift and bench weights you never dreamed of lifting, with the guidance of the world's strongest men
- Improve endurance capacity by 60 percent, thanks to the knowledge of world champions in multi endurance-based sports
...all of which the author has achieved during the 10-year 'fitness pilgrimage' that has taken him around the globe.
Aiming to be the most eclectic and comprehensive fitness guide ever created, The World's Fittest Book is the sum and substance of over a decade of research and the collective wisdom of some of the greatest minds and athletic bodies in history. By learning the lessons within it, listeners will understand 'fitness' better than the vast majority of the population. Every chapter has an easy to digest workout within it and can be listened to individually. But if you want to listen to the stories and the science behind the routines, that's there, too.
Until now, there hasn't been a book covering such an ambitious range of areas, catering for the casual fitness enthusiast seeking clarity and guidance in their own gym routine and kitchen habits as well as the seasoned sportsperson who's hit a plateau and is searching for tips, tricks and tweaks they can make to their training and diet. This book changes that and will take you on a journey to whatever level of fitness you want to find.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Ross Edgley famously ran a marathon pulling a 1.4-tonne car and climbed a rope the height of Everest (8,848 m), after living with Yamabushi warrior monks in Japan and partaking in Shamanic pain rituals with fire ants in the Amazon jungle. On his epic 1,780-mile journey around Great Britain, which lasted 157 days, Ross swam through giant jellyfish, arctic storms, ‘haunted’ whirlpools and polluted shipping lanes, going so hard, and so fast, his tongue fell apart.

There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Fantastic information
As the world gets more and more complicated, with fitness and diet fads and “studies” sponsored by big businesses created to confuse everyone further, this book cuts through them all. Ross gives us a great foundation to work with no matter what your fitness goals are. This book focuses on science, and is told using amazing personal anecdotes among Ross’s impressive feats of super human fitness.

Absolutely loved it
Ross lays out the fundamentals to both strength and endurance through mesmerizing storytelling that kept me listening chapter after chapter. His story plays out like an adventure book filled with vital knowledge about how to properly take care of our bodies.
I absolutely loved this book and found that Edgley's attitude towards teaching principles of fitness made this book very approachable to newcomers to fitness. Each chapter reads part story, part guide, part textbook, but incredibly well blended so that you come out of each excited to hear what else he has to teach you.
Would recommend wholeheartedly and will be listening to this again!

Good Refresher and some nice motivation
I enjoy Ross' delivery, and it's fun to listen to his stories in his own voice. I now have dreams of spending a month in the Lake District perfecting my fell running. Much of the health, fitness, and nutrition information wasn't new to me, but it was a great refresher. This book was exactly what I needed to fire up my motivation to tackle some big goals (thanks, Ross!). I look forward to his next publication. In the meantime - there is work to do!!

You can get the good info on his website
Cool tips on exercise but seems like you can that on his website. All the rest is overly figurative language with too many metaphors for every single thing.
