It is evident when someone puts their heart and soul into something. The AARR is one such example. I finally decided to give the subscription a shot after months of deliberating. I can honestly say that it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. There is a glaring deficiency of honest, evidence-based, and un-faddish information available to fitness and nutrition professionals and the public at large. Enter the AARR. Nowhere (and I mean NOWHERE) will you find such a winning combination of cutting edge research interspersed with perspicacious commentary and real-life application. I have yet to see anyone tackle the most controversial, divided and relevant health and performance issues with the same depth, scrutiny and objectivity as Alan.
I am involved in the fitness and health industry in various capacities; A writer for a popular blog site, a personal trainer and a lecturer. There is one common thread to all of these roles…helping people lead healthier lives. The AARR has become an indispensible resource for me to achieve just that. Since subscribing, I feel as though I have armed myself with an untapped dimension of knowledge. The publication has sharpened my critical thinking skills and helped me to see a “bigger picture” on many issues. It has broadened my knowledge and in the process has humbled me - encouraging me to re-think what I had known to be “truths”. Alan has a true gift for breaking down giant swaths of information into a reader-friendly format that is as engaging as it is informative. All this while sifting through the hype, conjecture and bias that has become commonplace in the industry.
Here's my one criticism...
...of all the things I'm grateful that I've learned, one thing I am most certainly NOT grateful for is that I now know what a "bottom" is.... dang you wikipedia!
