Will of Iron: Principles for Healthy Living Book

In Will of Iron: Principles for Healthy Living, Nielsen tells the riveting story of his near-fatal battle with Crohn?s disease. Even though doctors told him he would probably spend the rest of his life in and out of hospitals, Nielsen overcame fear and self-doubt and committed himself to a life of nutrition and fitness. Against tremendous physical odds, he transformed his ravaged body into a paragon of fitness.

Nielsen forged happiness and success out of adversity ? from pumping iron in a gritty Flatbush gym and winning the Mr. International Universe title to becoming the host of his own television show.

But Will of Iron is more than an inspiring biography. While plenty of books offer nutritional advice, exercise routines or motivational messages, Nielsen blends all three into a simple, yet powerful recipe that explain exactly why readers should care about health, fitness and lifestyle.

Readers who have never jogged a mile will find themselves determined to get off the couch and enrich all aspects of their lives ? relationships, career and self-esteem. Dedicated bodybuilders will find a "clean" path to success without steroids. And all will discover a compelling and inspiring story.
