    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Pat Flynn is a true all-rounder, donning multiple hats as a philosopher, fitness coach, author, guitarist, Tae Kwon Do black belt, entrepreneur, and dedicated father of five. As the author of “The Best Argument for God,” Pat frequently delves into philosophical inquiries concerning the nature of ultimate reality and its impact on our lives, alongside contributing peer-reviewed work in metaphysical dependence and fundamentality.

    On the fitness front, Pat has authored several volumes, including the forthcoming “Strong ON!” and “Paleo Workouts for Dummies.” Furthermore, in “How to Be Better at (Almost) Everything,” Pat propounds his belief in generalism – championing the mastery of diverse skills and epitomizing the spirit of a modern-day Renaissance man.

    Pat’s eclectic nature stems from his belief in being a jack of all trades and, indeed, a master of many. He’s not just a philosopher and author but also an ardent lover of all things ’90s, including Furbies, gigapets, and the legendary Ninja Turtles. His lifelong passion for music and guitar-playing is evident through his routine sharing of favorite shred licks on YouTube and his active participation in the Milwaukee music scene with his band, Four on the Floor.

    In the world of podcasting, Pat wears another hat, hosting two popular shows. “Philosophy for the People” simplifies complex ideas, making philosophy accessible to all, while “The Pat Flynn Show” offers practical, straightforward fitness advice for those aiming for well-balanced physical excellence.

    Pat shares his generalist life adventure with his wonderful wife, Christine, and together, they are raising their five children in the heart of southeastern Wisconsin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for anyone looking to transform their body!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013

If I had to use one work to describe Paleo Workouts for Dummies it would be comprehensive. The book first explains about fitness and strength and why they are important parts to a healthy lifestyle. You are then taken step by step through exercises using body weight and my favorite Kettlebells in a safe effective fashion. You are shown beginner to advanced exercises and each exercise is broken down for you step by step. The book also gives links to videos where you can see the exercises performed. My favorite chapters in the book are 10 and 11. Chapter 10 explains how you can burn fat using easy to understand language. Chapter 11 explains how you can put together your own successful program, but you don't have to if you choose, because the book is filled with great workouts including a 21 and 90 day challenge that is laid out for you. All you have to do is make the commitment to do the work.

Of course as many of us know it's not just what you do in the gym, but nutrition plays a key major role in yorur success and the Paloe eating plan is laid out letting explaining why you eat certain foods at different times and the things you need to do to be successful. This book is a must have for anyone looking to transform their body by losing body fat and building lean muscle. As I write this review I'm three weeks into a 30 day Metabolic Challenge that Pat put together and have noticed great benefits in body composition and general health using the exercises, workouts and eating plan that is covered in the book. Get this book, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fitness solution - It's all right here!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
First off the content of this book far exceeds the "Dummies" moniker as previously mentioned by Dan John. I have been into functional movement and kettlebell training for 3 years now. Pat's approach is the most straight forward of any that I have read.
He spells out the process for someone to quickly start on the path from flab to fabulous. So many books only focus on one aspect of fitness - whether it be the diet or exercise technique alone. He breaks it down simply that you can have a great program - or an excellent tool like the kettlebell but until you link it with a proper nutrition strategy you, at best will only get mediocre results.

However, when you hit both you get exactly what you are looking for. So now, instead of buying the latest fad diet book, and a hot of the press kettlebell book that leaves all the exercises as mysterious as possible. You can get all in one easy to understand and implement source.

But more importantly if you want the best training available, you need to see Pat in person -- like I just did at Killing it with Kettlebells. An intense 3 day work shop for people who what to teach these techniques to others. Do I need to say more buy the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Program - Great Results - Highly Recommended
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2013

I bought a copy of Paleo Workouts for Dummies - FANTASTIC. I'm on Day 16 of the 21-day Primal Quick Start and am getting fantastic results.

I've been tinkering with KB's for about three years. I have copies of Enter the Kettlebell, Naked Warrior, and Convict Conditioning, and the Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout DVD. I've worked on each of them diligently, and always felt like something was missing. I always found myself adding things here and there to fight that nagging feeling that I was falling short.

Not the case with this program - this is the complete package. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

Back to the results:
My TGU form has improved substantially. I discovered a few things from the book that have really helped.
I'm finally getting comfortable with my dead lift and squatting form - this has eluded me for years.
I think I am executing the swing more correctly that ever before (finally getting the hamstrings truly engaged).
I've peeled off about about 8-lbs (I was about 218 to 220-lbs, 12% BF - now I'm weighing in at 210 to 211-lbs) - knocked off some pesky love-handles that have been dogging me for years. The Paleo nutrition program has been a great surprise.
I'm micro-fasting with no issues at all. This from the life-long champion of daily breakfast.
I worked out at the park weekend before last in the sun - awesome.

This book is easy to follow and is an easy read. The exercises in the book are easy to learn and simple to follow. I have been a student of Pat Flynn's for over a year and I've learned more from Pat on proper eating and fitness than from anyone in the past and I've been exercising since I was 14 years old. Pat's routines are easy to follow but will tax you when needed. They will change you for the positive. I've lost weight and gained muscle faster while working with Pat than I did doing anything else in the past. I've ran, done crossfit, weight trained, olympic lifting, etc. Kettlebells and bodyweight routines are without a doubt on target and get the job done. Add in the paleo lifestyle and you can't go wrong. I am not kidding when I tell you that you will not be sorry if you buy this book. Read it, live it. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much hype
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
I think all the 5 star reviews come from people who like Pat Flynn and his WODs. The 90 day total body transformation is a waste of time. Doing ladder sets with low reps, sticking with the same weight for 3 months and doing the same muscles on back to back days are all idiotic recommendations. Also, if you run 2 or 3 miles a couple of times a week you don't have to be such a spazz about carbs. Metcon is challenging but ridiculously overrated!

The above is a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, but I think this sums up this book perfectly. This is pure gold, a guide how to get the best results from your training. Being a speed reader I read it in one sitting, but I will be referring back to it time and time again, it's full of useful information. Don't be fooled by the brevity of the workouts - sorry - training sessions, or the simplicity of the program's. I have been following Pat Flynn`s fitness minimalist approach for a while now, mainly through his blog. The Kettlebell complexes are a superb way to train,very efficient and combine well with my Krav Maga training sessions, I am looking forward to using the strength training protocol in this book to give me an edge in my Krav Maga class. At 51 I need all the help I can get!
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Stop wasting time and effort, buy it, apply the principles in it and get the results.
Simple as that really
