Lakatos Péter: Life-saving muscle
In his latest book, Péter Lakatos once again seeks answers on how to find a way out of both our modern, sedentary lifestyle and the labyrinth of the fitness and diet industry. This time, the spotlight is on strength training, which, contrary to popular belief, is only dangerous if neglected. Based on the latest research, the author explains why it is worth diving into muscle mass growth to bid farewell to back pain, worrying blood sugar levels, or memory decline, and also helps you change your habits. Be strong - and stay agelessly healthy!

Do you want to live a fitter life, but all your motivation is taken away by calorie counting, nibbling on rabbit food, and impossible-to-sustain cardio workouts? Are you not seeing the results, no visible six-pack or bulging biceps, maybe you even gained weight?
If you think that having a strong, lean body is a privilege of the muscle-minded individuals who pay a heavy price for their physique, you are mistaken. Péter Lakatos, the author of the highly successful books Endlessly! and Fitting Error, firmly states that we are all born to move and unfold our latent power - it is only the environment we live in that gradually domesticates us from it.
Our current civilization is far removed from the world for which we were originally designed. We are abundantly supplied with food, yet we are constantly hungry. We have a soft, cozy bed, but we are unable to rest. We don't even notice and we gasp for air from constant stress. We should lift, pull, push, crawl, climb, sweat, but instead, we hunch in front of screens all day. Every external influence works against us.
