Must read.....10 Rules Fit People Live By

What are the secrets of the world’s strongest people?

Personal trainer Joel Harper has spent two decades helping his clients (from Olympic medalists to Dr. Oz) reach their fitness goals, and over the course of his career he’s discovered the reason why some people thrive and others fail: It’s all about attitude, he argues in his new book, Mind Your Body:

Harper has taken years of experience and distilled it into “10 core concepts for optimal success.” Health spoke with Harper about these rules, and how to put them into practice.

But names, on the other hand, usually don’t give your brain much information to grasp onto beyond the name itself.
