Win a Copy of Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?
I recently read Alex Hutchinson’s new book, Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights? Alex Hutchinson is an award-winning journalist and a senior editor at Canadian Running magazine. He writes a bi-weekly column on the science of exercise called Jockology for the Globe and Mail. He has a Ph.D. in Physics from Cambridge and also writes a blog called Sweat Science.
In Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights, Hutchinson answers 150 fitness questions, drawing on the latest research from over 400 peer-reviewed scientific journals and interviews with over 100 researchers. Despite all the science, the book is very easy to read, with short sections covering each question and a summary “cheat sheet” at the end of each chapter.
