Don Roberts, a fitness and nutrition specialist who has trained thousands of women and men of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities since 1991, summarizes his expertise in the health and fitness industry in the book Wellness Toolbox. The author believes that the majority of people have no idea about nutrition because of all myths, false marketing, and poor education about food. He has also seen a lot of people in gyms who are doing things like weight training, stretches, foam rolling, cardio exercise, and other things incorrectly and unsafely because they were coached or trained incorrectly, or they were not coached or trained at all. So, in his book, the author discusses fitness myths and facts, nutrition myths and facts, and other health myths and facts in order to demonstrate to the readers what is correct and what is incorrect in these myths and facts based on his personal experience.

In this book, the author presented not just fitness, health, and nutrition information but also personal stories from his life, which I believe is one of the book's good aspects. These stories are not only engaging and enjoyable to read, but they are also relevant to fitness and nutrition and demonstrate their value in everyday life. One of the stories that I liked was when he talked about a poor decision he made as a teenager that got him in trouble with the law and nearly cost him his life. When he took his father's truck with his friends in the middle of the night, crossing a double yellow line and ending up in a police chase. The chase concluded with him being handcuffed and taken to jail, where he was placed in a detention center and sentenced to two years of community service. Faith, family, friends, food, and exercise kept him grounded and joyful throughout it all. He'd been given a new lease on life, a second opportunity, and he resolved to start exercising more and eating healthier.

Another aspect of the book that I liked was the caricatures paintings that appeared throughout the book and provided a welcome break from reading. Furthermore, I found the book easy to read for all readers, regardless of their fitness or nutrition background.

When I consider what I didn't enjoy about this book, nothing comes to mind. I believe the author did an excellent job of presenting comprehensive information about exercise, nutrition, and health. I found the book both informative and interesting because it included personal stories and caricatures paintings, as I mentioned previously. As a result, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

In my opinion, Wellness Toolbox can be used as a guide for people who wish to lose weight, gain muscle, and have a healthy and attractive body. As a result, I recommend it to them and anyone else who is interested in exercise, nutrition, or health. I should also remark that, in my opinion, the book was professionally edited since I found no grammar or spelling issues in it.
