Go for It!

The late Dr. Olinekova has contributed some truly useful books to the fitness genre. This one, with its "Commandments" and its friendly text, it could perhaps be compared to the Artist's Way books, but this substantial book is full of pictures and little eating tips (not fancy intimidating recipes, but useful ones, and general advice). I relied heavily on this book and her Sensuality of Strength when I first got into weight training over 20 years ago, and I still enjoy the sport, although I don't have as much time for it any more. I think her work makes fitness more enjoyable, and enjoying fitness is the key to keeping it up. Her books introduce you to something that becomes part of your life -- not just a fad.
