GIVES YOU LIFELONG FITNESS
PBF is a program you can follow for life. If all you
want is enough strength, endurance, vitality, and
agility to function effectively and actively until
you’re old and gray, our simple, dynamic system
of bodyweight training, occasional sprinting, and
frequent, slow movement will get you where you
want to be. This program adapts to any age or
ability level.
HELPS YOU AVOID INJURY
Down time sucks. When you add a heavy exer-
cise schedule to the daily stresses of modern life,
you end up with a good chance at getting injured
on a regular basis. The same is true if you do the
Weekend Warrior thing and engage in occasional
intense competition with an unfit body.
Primal Blueprint Fitness doesn’t impose a rig-
orous schedule, nor does it force you to use
heavy weights that, to the uninitiated, can result
in injury. Your PBF workouts will be shorter and
more intense—with less potential for overtraining
and overuse.
Benefits of Primal Blueprint Fitness
PREPARES YOU FOR DIVERSE CHALLENGES
Grok, my fictional hunter-gatherer healthy lifestyle
role model and protagonist of The Primal Blue-
print, was a well-rounded athlete. He could con-
jure up superhuman bursts of strength or speed to
save his life when he had to on occasion, track a
tired animal for hours once in a while, climb a tree,
carry heavy things, and generally exhibit a well-
rounded level of fitness that provided prepared-
ness for all situations.Today we need overall fitness, too, even though
we’re not hunting, killing, climbing, and gathering
like we used to. Our genes still expect us to be
active, lean, and strong, and these abilities are
essential for truly enjoying life and staying active
through old age. PBF workouts will allow you to
jump into an occasional 10k endurance run, keep
up with your kids at a practice scrimmage, ma-
nipulate your body composition relatively easily
when combined with Primal eating, and tackle
exciting new challenges (kite-surfing, anyone?)
without relegating you to the couch for a week’s
recovery afterwards.10
