Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.

Maybe, you know that you look good, and that your physical attributes are fine. But wouldn't it be better to feel more than fine about your body? In short, don't you think it is about time for you to get into your best shape-and give yourself the chance to feel fit, healthy, and happy at the same time? Well, that can happen NOW! LEARN ABOUT THE RIGHT WAYS TO STAY IN SHAPE! You see, there are so many supplements and products in the market that promise to give you your best body in no time. But more often than not, those "promises" just turn out to be broken-and in the long run, you'll just find yourself wishing you did not believe them in the first place. This book won't give you any unnecessary promises, but rather would help you understand that you have it in you to change the course of your life-and your body! With the help of this book, you'd learn all about weight training-what it is, how it can turn things around for your body, and what kind of systems you can try so you could get into your best shape. "BUT I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH" I know. You may feel like "Weight Training" is such a strong word, but as you come to read this book, you will realize that with enough power and commitment, it is so possible to follow various weight training systems, such as: *HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training; *Kinobody; *Crossfit; *P90x, and others! You'll understand what each of these systems mean, and by doing so, you would be able to choose the system that you feel would work best for you-based on your body type, the activities you're used to doing, and how you think these systems would fit right into your schedule! Lots to look forward to! But of course, getting in shape does not just end with choosing a good weight training system. It always has to be a holistic process-so you'd know that what you're doing would actually work not just at the present moment, but more so in the long run! By reading this book, you would also learn about: *The Ketogenic Diet-and why it works best with weight training; *Intermittent Fasting-more popularly known as IF; *How to count calories, and measure your own levels of body fats; *Paleo, Atkins, and other types of diets you could try, and so much more! You will then realize that while weight training is not one of those "miracle cures" that promise to give you a healthy body in just a day or so, it is in fact, so much better! It all starts with YOU! It is never too early to start taking care of your body-more so, doing it the right way. Why subject yourself to processes that you're not even sure are healthy and legal? If you really want to get in shape, and be the best version of you that you can be, then it is just the right time to start! It is up to you to decide how you'd want to honor your body. You see, not only will you be able to learn about weight training while reading this book, but you'll also understand how food works to make this all possible. By learning so, you would no longer be doing things that would impact your body negatively, and you can finally start treating your body as your friend! Read this book now, achieve your fitness goals, and take care of your health-all at the same time! DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK TODAY
