Simple Strength - by Bianca de la Garza (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A fun, no-intimidation guide to getting stronger, fitter, and more resilient--with simple workouts anyone can do almost anywhere in just minutes a day.

Forget punishing boot camps, endless cardio, complicated equipment, and hours at the gym. In Simple Strength, broadcast journalist and certified wellness coach Bianca de la Garza offers a refreshingly realistic approach to fitness built around one powerful idea: getting stronger doesn't have to take over your life.

Drawing on decades spent squeezing exercise into a demanding career, travel, and family life, de la Garza presents a highly visual, easy-to-follow collection of foundational strength movements that can be performed at home, in a hotel room, at the gym, or even while waiting for an Uber. From dead hangs and squats to push-ups, lunges, carries, and wall sits, each exercise is explained simply and paired with practical tips for making it work in real life. Ready-made routines--including a fifteen-minute morning workout, a hotel-room workout, and a five-minute full-body reset--remove the guesswork entirely.

Warm, funny, encouraging, and deliberately free of drill-sergeant fitness culture, Simple Strength is designed for anyone who thinks they're too busy to exercise--or simply hates working out. Whether you're starting from scratch, getting back into fitness, or looking for a realistic way to stay strong amid a packed schedule, de la Garza shows that building strength doesn't require a major lifestyle overhaul--just a few minutes, a little consistency, and a willingness to start.
