The one book you'll ever need for Total Fitness,
By A Customer
This review is from: Will of Iron: A Champion's Journey; A Strategy for Fitness (Paperback)
Great book. I've re-read it many times. Covers all three areas you need for fitness: Motivation, Nutrition and Workouts. Mr Nielsen also has his life priorities in order, and will help you do the same. It's more than just a fitness book. It's a "how to live your life to the fullest" book.
