👎 Skip It
Brian Keane's four-pillar approach is a solid, well-liked entry point for total beginners, backed by a healthy 3.84 average across 2,000-plus Goodreads ratings. More experienced fitness readers will likely find it too light to be worth their time, though, since it doesn't go much beyond the basics. Keane narrates it himself, and his podcasting background should make for a comfortable, conversational listen.
