Maximum
Fitness : The Complete Guide to...
Same old same old on the treadmill? Are those dumbbells not making
you any smarter? Is your fitness routine a boring routine? It's time
to let former Navy SEAL Stew Smith show you the joys of cross-training!
BooksForFitness: If you've ever
had a personal trainer (we have) and he/she was worth their salt,
you should have been running wind sprints in the gym's parking lot
and stairs at the closest football field after you've squatted. That's
cross training. "Maximum Fitness" may be a 52-week regimen
but life is more than 52 weeks. Test yourself and your trainer. Get
ready for the ride!

the 1930s to the 1980s, the capital of weightlifting in America was

Americans seeking physical improvement. Often called the "Father
of World Weightlifting," Hoffman was a pioneer in marketing barbells
and health foods. He popularized weight training and inaugurated a
golden age of American weightlifting. Muscletown USA-part biography,
part business history, and part sports history-chronicles how Hoffman
made York the mecca of manly culture for millions of followers worldwide.
BooksForFitness: How many basements
in the country have York weights collecting dust? Their owners can
say thanks to Bob Hoffman. This book helps you understand how the
weight made it to the basement. You'll have to explain why they're
dusty.
