How is it that Americans are more obsessed with exercise than ever, and yet also unhealthier? Fit Nation explains how we got here and imagines how we might create a more inclusive, stronger future. If a shared American creed still exists, it’s a belief that exercise is integral to a life well lived. A century ago, working out was the activity of a strange subculture, but today, it’s almost impossible to avoid exhortations to exercise: Walk 5K to cure cancer! Awaken your inner sex kitten at pole-dancing class! Sweat like (or even with) a celebrity in spin class! Exercise is everywhere. Yet the United States is hardly a “fit nation.” Only 20 percent of Americans work out consistently, over half of gym members don’t even use the facilities they pay for, and fewer than 30 percent of high school students get an hour of exercise a day. So how did fitness become both inescapable and inaccessible? Spanning more than a century of American history, Fit Nation answers these questions and more through original interviews, archival research, and a rich cultural narrative. As a leading political and intellectual historian and a certified fitness instructor, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela is uniquely qualified to confront the complex and far-reaching implications of how our contemporary exercise culture took shape. She explores the work of working out not just as consumers have experienced it, but as it was created by performers, physical educators, trainers, instructors, and many others. For Petrzela, fitness is a social justice issue. She argues that the fight for a more equitable exercise culture will be won only by revolutionizing fitness culture at its core, making it truly inclusive for all bodies in a way it has never been. Examining venues from the stage of the World’s Fair and Muscle Beach to fat farms, feminist health clinics, radical and evangelical college campuses, yoga retreats, gleaming health clubs, school gymnasiums, and many more, Fit Nation is a revealing history that shows fitness to be not just a matter of physical health but of what it means to be an American.

This little manual has something for everyone as it were. If you’re just starting out, and are 300 lbs and looking to DROP weight quick, then this book is a great, great add on to the 0 Excuses Fitness System available through my website.

If you’re a grip monster - - or core training fanatic - - I’ll bet you anything you’ll find some new and interesting reads in this book. And so forth. This book truly has something for EVERYONE when it comes to fitness, my friend. My name is Rahul Mookerjee, and I’ve been in the fitness biz for years now. My first book “Fast and Furious Fitness” (currently out of print, but I’m going to bring it back very soon indeed as a “collector’s item both on my website and on Amazon etc) was published in 2011, and it became an instant hit thereafter. Folks were getting tired of spending big bucks at gyms, and getting nowhere. Folks were getting tired of all the hype promised by personal trainers and “booby builders” (most of whom were on the juice) in the gym - - and getting very little in the way of actual muscle or results for the hours they spent in the gym. Not to mention the nagging injuries just kept piling up. The “shoulders that hurt when you lift your arm up”. The nagging lower back pain. Elbow trouble … and of course, wrist and neck pain galore. None of this improved to any great degree with the traditional training methods folks were being raised on, and Fast and Furious Fitness was a breath of fresh air in that regard. And now, I'm bringing you all these years of training and "wisdom" in an easy to digest "collated" format that you'll love - and want to read over and over and OVER again for motivation, inspiration, and information galore! What you’ll learn from these tips -Finger tip pushups, and what you really need to know about them! -Why the way your muscles “look” aren’t the most important – or even a little bit important. -The skinny on grip strength and building rock solid, coruscating levels of “kung fu” like grip strength. My manuals on grip training do a great job here ... and these tips are but the icing on the cake - - but a much needing icing! -The truth about calluses that most people will NOT tell you. -The one exercise combo that will give you explosive gains all over your upper body. Once you go this route, you’ll never go back … trust me! -Achieving the magic 500 in terms of pushups - - and more. -Getting to 500 UPHILL steps a day, and much, much more. -Why being on the heavy side isn't necessarily a disadvantage - and could even be considered an ADVANTAGE! This tip alone is worth it's weight in SPADES, my friend. -Facts on the handstand you likely never thought of, much less considered. -Why you aren't losing weight - despite seemingly doing all the right things. This one tip alone will boggle your mind - dive in, and you'll see what I mean! -How to work the legs with ... get this ... PUSHUPS! -How simple MOVEMENT done correctly can shed more fat than ever before -Can you save your own life if you had to? This little gem of a tip will get even the most seasoned of gym gorillas THINKING ... that is for sho! -What is the ideal length of time to exercise (hint - it's NOT what you've been told). And much, much more, my friend ... Dive in -- and be sure and write me back at [email protected] with your thoughts - we love hearing from YOU! Best, Rahul Mookerjee
