Canary The Unlikely Story of Essential Exercise

The book chronicles the misadventures of a small-town exercise instructor who learns that doing too much exercise is worse than doing none-at-all. We take a transparent look at how his experience with exercise morphs into a professional identity. As he moves through the ranks in the health club business, he becomes a staunch opponent of the standard practices of it. His mission to change the way people exercise puts him on a collision course with the industry and with himself. Entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking.
