Mark Rippetoe on Losing 10 lbs


Super good interview on NPR with Mark Rippetoe, talking about losing some weight and tackling the New Years resolution of getting fit. Rippetoe is the author of “Starting Strength”, a phenomenon of a book in the weight lifting world, garnering praise world wide for it’s complete examination of the best way to exercise. A great quote from the interview:

“Learn how to squat. It works more muscles than any other exercise, it’s harder, it’s a longer range of motion, and it will make more difference in your appearance over a shorter period of time than any single thing you can do. You have to learn how to squat correctly. Correctly is below parallel.”
