Publisher's Summary:

You already know the dedication it takes to see results in one area of your life. Now it's time to apply your "strength training" across the board.

When someone asks you what day of the week it is, do you say which body part you're working that day (chest day, leg day, upper body, or lower body)?

I know I'm not the only one. Many people don't understand our enthusiasm for working out.

It's more than the gym...it's our life.

Ever since my parents got me a weight bench for my 14th birthday, diet and exercise has been a passion of mine. All my closest friends felt the same way; we were hooked. I loved the progression I've made throughout the years, going from a chubby kid not being able to do one push-up to having a six-pack and being able to bench 250 pounds.

Despite my progression, I was unsatisfied with where I was in life. I was in excellent shape, but still felt inadequate in many areas. I was using the gym to hide from my problems. I worried about everything, got stressed easily, and was terrified of failure.

I thought, "It would be great if I could translate my success in the gym to other areas of my life. To have more confidence in my abilities, to be able to take more risks and pursue my dreams."

Again, I'm not alone. I know many gym-goers who are living unsatisfied lives, and I wrote this book to help them become enthusiastic about life the same way they are about working out.

It occurred to me that the knowledge was there; I have a doctorate degree and am highly educated on the human body. Also, I spent hundreds of hours researching exercise and nutrition throughout my life in hopes of getting the body of my dreams. I needed to find a way to translate it to something more than lifting weights.

I realized I could make long lasting changes if I took something I knew and was passionate about and made it applicable to life....

The "Gym of Life" Delivers 32 Solid Life Lessons!

I started working out when I was sixteen. I remember working for the whole summer and then at the end bought a nautilus home gym with bench press and weights. I was hooked fromk the first workout. I trained for about tenty years, off and on, and weight lifting was one of the core passions of my life.

But that all stopped about ten years ago when I got busy with kids, life, work and I just got sick of gyms: the crowds, gym fees and the sweat of other people socializing.

So I stopped going.

But life continued.

Afterr this I started focusin, not on making my body better but, myself and character. That is why this book is different. It uses the "gym lifetsyle" and applies it to everyday living.

Chapter 3 gets into hitting plateaus and that grabbed my attention right away. i have always wanted to get over that hump. Although I do most of my training at home these days, I can apply the advice in this book to push myself a little harder and make some progress again.

One reason I got tired of weight lifitng is I had hit a plateau after years and got bored. What I like about this book is that it hits all the right areas and covers the struggles that people in gyms have to endure when giving it all theor best in a workout.
