"Fitness Secrets of the Road Ninja"
By Bryce Lane
You are pathetic, weak, slovenly and trapped in a cheep motel on a boring business trip! What do you do?
There are plenty of exercise books about what to do in limited circumstances-what to do if you have to "get along" in circumstances where there isn't a dumbell, barbell, chin-up bar or floor mat in sight. However, you get the feeling that much of what has been written is all just some kind of time wasting expedient, not something you would really want to do for real. I wrote this small booklet to change that.
There will be things in here you want to do, exercises and workouts you will likely want to try no matter where you are or what the circumstances. Alot of people who live in small houses, apartments or who travel don't have the luxury of lots of gadgets or heavy metal but there is no rational reason they can't be as strong or fit as they want to be. It starts out basic with a simple two exercise workout and goes all the way to some feats that are plenty tough for anyone, even bodybuilding techniques to eat up wasted "motel room teevee time" in a more productive way.
Like the other booklets, the whole story is right there in words and pictures fast; so you can spend your time doing and improving rather than reading and guessing. It was fun for me to write and it should be just as fun for you to read and try!
"The Booklet of Bodyweight Power"
By Bryce Lane
By now you've probably bought a course or two and a few books, you are probably asking yourself "what can one more course do for me"? My answer is just the truth; It won't do anything for you, not one thing. You can look at it, put it on the best shelf in the house, keep it on the coffee table next to the new candleholder and it won't do a thing for you unless you hold up your end of the deal. Your end of the deal is getting-to-work on what's in the course and getting-to-work on it consistently.
This course is short if you count pages, but its packed with plenty that I know you haven't seen before anywhere else. Plenty enough to keep you gaining for a lifetime. No zen-like oceans of tasteful white space, no charming clip-art from bygone eras, no half-page pull quotes. It just gives it to you straight-up and to the point in concise words and pictures. More than enough exercises and info to make sure you can have as much strength, power, gripping force and energy as you are up to working for.
No weights, no exotic or expensive equipment, just this booklet and what you make of yourself from what's in it. I don't promise this course will do one thing for you, yet it sure will tell you how to do all kinds of good things for yourself.
These are outstanding, open-ended materials. Content that you've probably never seen before. Well worth the money and they also serve to inspire creative thought about exercise."A Mighty River of Steel"

This is the booklet on flexibility I always wanted to read but could never find, so I wrote it myself. It's an excellent companion to "The Booklet of Bodyweight Power" for people interested in real "all around fitness".
This booklet is not about wedging yourself into funny positions and just sitting. There are no "stretches" in this booklet. It's about enhancing flexibility by developing strength at further ranges of motion. Real flexibility is moving flexibility! Not only being able to go there but be able to apply force and control while you are there--being able to do something more than wiggle into a funny position and grit your teeth.
Martial artists, particularly grapplers will find much of interest in this booklet. However anyone interested in flexibility that they can use, will find just as much. Most writing on strength focuses on applying force and moving from standing, lying or at least comfortable and set up postions. This booklet focuses on applying strength and moving from wherever you are, by choice or necessity
I guarantee there are things in here you have never seen or tried. Just like its companion book on bodyweight exercise, this one isn't full of abstract theory, big pictures, pleasant graphic design elements or anything that isn't about getting down to the real work.
