# Preface:
This is the twelfth book I've read this year. The title of this book really resonated with me, and I mainly bought it to encourage myself to work out. It also mentions some concepts and mindset improvements related to fitness. Compared to dieting, fitness is actually more difficult. Because dieting only requires eating less and moving more, but fitness is more difficult. Besides the need for continuous weight training, what you eat, drink, and even the training schedule for specific body parts are all very important.
The pandemic is still very serious recently, and I hope that after the situation improves, I can go to the gym to exercise.

### If You Want to Kill Yourself, Work Out Instead
Many times, when you are feeling depressed and in a bad mood (or even feel you have depression). It is highly recommended to work out at this time. Because many studies have pointed out that fitness can have an impact on the psychological aspects of "anxiety," "unease," and low "sleep quality." You can reduce these conditions through fitness:
### Testosterone
- Maintain bone and muscle strength
- Prevent arteriosclerosis or metabolic syndrome
- Enhance motivation or competitiveness
### Serotonin
- Soothe and stabilize mood
- Keep the head in the best state of alertness
- Suppress pain
Studies from 2010 also show that "fitness can help treat insomnia" (especially the effects of heavy weights are better). And in the papers related to exercise science and psychology, "strength training can maintain or improve self-esteem" has been confirmed.
### The Older You Get, the More Important Fitness Becomes
As aging progresses and muscles gradually atrophy, fitness becomes more important. Individual differences lie in fitness and health habits.
Experiments in 2016 showed that even people in their 60s can still increase muscle mass by 7~8% within ten weeks, as long as they do weight training.
## Weight Training Can Make You Successful in the Workplace
### Muscular Men Usually Have High Ratings:
- Strong self-control
- High time management
- Understand nutrition
- Strong body, can concentrate with high intensity
- High stress resistance
### The Busier People Are, the More They Work Out
- Obama exercises for forty-five minutes six days a week (including strength training and aerobic exercise)
- Morning people are often company executives
- Achieving performance and bench pressing 140 kilograms are essentially the same process.
- Senior managers often exercise for 800 minutes a week (an average of 2 hours a day, seven days a week)
## Longevity and Weight Training
- According to a 2008 survey, people with higher strength levels had a 20-30% lower mortality rate than those with lower strength levels.
- Strength training can prevent type 2 diabetes caused by glucose transporter sugar absorption
- For every 5 increase in BMI, the mortality rate increases by 10%
### Misconceptions About Fitness
- It's harder than you think to build muscles that get in the way. (Don't be afraid that your whole body muscles don't look good, you're actually still far away)
- Fitness will make overall flexibility higher
- Fitness and speed are actually the opposite, which is wrong
- Do people who do high-intensity fitness exercises easily catch a cold? –> That's right, high-intensity exercise will cause an immune indicator window period, so the body needs to be careful. 
- People who work out will still grow taller
