Fit at Last: Look and Feel Better Once and for All
Author(s): Ken Blanchard
In Fit at Last, bestselling business author Ken Blanchard and fitness expert Tim Kearin tell how Ken was finally able, at age 73, to make lasting improvements in his health and fitness, including dropping over thirty pounds and thirteen inches from his waistline in a year. In each chapter Ken shares the very personal story of his ups and downs - a story which involves, among other things, a puppy, a Hawaiian tour bus full of widows, and a 50-year college reunion - while Tim gives professional health advice and training wisdom. Certainly there is a wealth of excellent health advice here but, ultimately, this is not a book about fitness; it's a book about commitment. People fail not because they don't know what to do-they fail because they just don't do it. Ken Blanchard shows how readers can adapt the same powerful leadership techniques he's used to reinvigorate organizations to lead themselves in their own personal fitness efforts. Using the tools in this book, you'll be able, like Ken, to move from simply being interested in fitness to making a lasting commitment - one that will add a spring to your step, a smile to your face, and years to your life.
