My Family Book of Workouts and Inspirational Quotes: Great Lessons for the Body, Mind and Soul

By Freddie Mangano

Freddie Mangano spent most of his boyhood and youth scrawny, skinny, anemic, and sick – much to the chagrin of his competitive weight-lifting father.

His dad would not let his boy continue carrying on in such a fashion: He wanted his son to be strong and healthy.

Today, Mangano is a veteran master trainer with The National Federation of Professional Trainers, a boxing fitness trainer, as well as a yoga instructor. He has helped countless people of all skill levels lose weight, get in shape, or stay in shape.

In this guide, Mangano shares fifty of his favorite workouts for both men and women. By adding them to your arsenal of activities, you’ll be able to improve physical strength, overall appearance, and feel better about yourself.

With every workout, you’ll find an inspirational quote, because if your mind is right, then your body will be right, too. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll find recipes from Mangano’s wife for every part of your day – from breakfast to dinner.

Whether you’re a beginner, a bodybuilder, a strength trainer, a general fitness enthusiast, or an aerobic trainer, this book of ultimate workouts will keep you focused, inspired, and in shape!

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my beloved brother David, and my loving father Big John, who have gone ahead to Heaven without me for now. But, I have a feeling they are still working out together in a huge, beautiful gym in the sky!
