A few hours a week training at the gym or elsewhere is great, but what if your environment outside of the gym is also challenging your body? You will see results that are only possible through the innovative fitness method called “Adam” which stands for Adaptive Immersion Training. Change your environment with intent, and your body will adapt with amazing results.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- How the environment shapes your body to be adaptive
- How and why you should divide training throughout the day

Table of ContentsChapter 1: Your Amazing, Adaptable Body
This will be a motivational section that discusses the amazing human body but specifically its ability to adapt and change.
Chapter 2: How The Things You Do Everyday Shape Your Health and Fitness
This will demonstrate that your job/hobbies/lifestyle are more instrumental in shaping your physique than an hour spent in the gym. It will thus discuss
Chapter 3: Train Outdoors!
This post will explain the HUGE and immediate benefits of moving your training outside. Simple example: every pull up from a tree branch is different from the last, engaging the grip differently, altering the heights of the hands, etc. etc.
This chapter will also discuss the practicalities of such training (how to manage progressive overload, where to do it, what to do if it rains), plus the risk of training ONLY in chaotic environments and how to marry the benefits of both types of training.
Chapter 4: The Missing Fundamentals of Human Movement
Our modern lifestyles introduce a number of issues and rob us of some basic abilities: pelvis control, spine mobility, shoulder mobility, core strength, scapula control, straight-arm strength.
This post will explore the precise missing attributes in the context of the ATSP hierarchy discussed in the previous book.
Chapter 5: “SuperExercises”
This chapter will introduce exercises specifically intended to remedy the above problem. The term “SuperExercise” is inspired by “SuperFood.” The idea is that these exercises either provide multiple benefits in one go, or they address a missing fundamental.
Chapter 6: Don’t Let the Environment Change You: Change the Environment
This chapter starts with a more in-depth exploration of the idea of the “Adaptation Facilitation Machine.” This is a building designed to challenge the body as we move through it. It’s only theoretical, but a fun thought experiment.
It will then discuss ways you can make an existing environment more stimulating and challenging (standing desks as a very obvious example).
It then concludes that “intent” and “habits” are more important – your relationship with the environment. It will thus suggest a number of ways to train incidentally.
Chapter 7: Splitting Your Workouts
This chapter discusses the benefits of splitting workouts up throughout the day: this can increase energy and mood, encourage muscle growth, and massively improve performance. It’s also more convenient for a lot of people.
Chapter 8: An Active Brain
This chapter applies many of the previously discussed concepts to brain training.
Chapter 9: A Program
This chapter offers a program based on the SuperExercises and splitting workouts into lots of smaller parts. One of the biggest criticisms of the previous book was the lack of an actual program – this should address that!
Chapter 10: You Are Information
A little indulgence! An alternative way to look at the body and its relationship with the environment.
