The Art of Expressing the Human Body (Bruce Lee Library)

"I would recommend this book to anybody with the slightest interest in Martial Arts or Physical Fitness. Although I'm not really interested in the Martial Way I am a big fan of Bruce Lee and his philosophy. If you are at all into getting fit and healthy then this book will help you and no doubt motivate you as well. Although there are several volumes of the Bruce Lee library this particular one focus's mostly on Lee's conditioning. Nutrition, Flexibility, Agility, Endurance and Strength training are all covered in this book as well as many Martial Art workouts devised by Bruce Lee for his students.
Pound for pound I don't believe there has ever been anybody fitter and stronger than Bruce Lee so this book is great to draw ideas from. "

"Who hasn't wanted to look like Bruce Lee? At a body weight of around 120lbs (8 1/2 stones) he must have one of the most impressive physiques ever seen on screen.This book details exactly how he did it.John Little has compiled all the training knowledge Bruce had and put it in one very informative volume.It covers Lee's general fitness training, to bodypart specialisation, so if you want to improve the look of your arms, back chest etc-it's all here.Bruce trained constantly all day, martial arts training to general conditioning, and it's all here, including the very under rated PHA system of training, which is unbeatable for general fitness.Training philosophy has moved on, but 80-90% of the material in this book is still valid today, which shows how far ahead of his time Bruce Lee was.This book works on so many levels, and it is one that you will refer to constantly.I highly reccommend it."

"If you're interested in Bruce Lee, or working out, or both, you'll probably love this book.
I got this on my 19th birthday, and my whole life has changed 'cos of the information in this book. I used to detest exercise, but now I'll usually work outy 6 times a week.
The insight into Lee's training methods is outstanding, but best of all you see that the methods he used weren't mystic or magical, just basic common sense stuff. Of course, the difference is that Bruce Lee took it to another level with a frame of mind and determination hard to achieve.
Trust me, this is a fantastic book, and I still refer back to it now. It's a constant source of inspiration. Just buy it, buy it now...."

"Well, it's well worth buying if you're interested in seeing Bruce Lee's fitness training. That's all you really need to know about the book - I've been doing martial arts for a couple of years and this is very good, even for non-martial artists.

It has some of his circuit training methods, and it all in all a very motivational and interesting book.

It also has some of his weight training activities, I've been lifting weights for about 7 years and I'd recommend all of his exercises (apart from the 'Good Morning' exercise which is commonly known to cause back injuries) - and going through them, all of the main exercises as well as a few of his own inventions which are also very good are included.

This should have everything you need to get fit and also some good pictures of Bruce Lee in his prime, which should get you working out."
