The Athlete in You

Book excerpt: What good is a great-looking Ferrari that cannot race? What good is a smartphone with low battery life? What good are great-looking sports shoes that cannot last a marathon? These are just good-looking objects with low or zero performance. The same goes for our body. A diet plan may help you lose weight; a gym routine may help you with a great-looking physique—but that does not necessarily translate into a stronger, healthier you. In fact, you may not even need the gym; you can pick a sport you enjoy, even something as simple as running. Take charge of your health and achieve your fitness goals in a way that improves not just the way you look, but also your performance and quality of life—just like an athlete! This book will help you eat, exercise, think, look and most importantly, perform like an athlete. There is an athlete in all of us, and it is time to bring that athlete out.
