Golf is a sport that has largely overlooked the critical role of strength training. It's a law of physics, however, that greater strength drives the ball a greater distance and that a stronger golfer is a better golfer. From a subtle wink of an eyelid to a thunderous 300-yard drive, muscles are responsible for our every motion and for generating all of our power. Now, using a totally new and amazingly successful training program, golfers can add up to 30 yards to their best drive after just six weeks--with a total workout time of only 24 minutes! Based on the extensive research of health-and-fitness authorities Peter N. Sisco and John R. Little, The Golfer's Two-Minute Workout is a super-productive and lifestyle-friendly fitness program.

Sisco is the editor of the Training with Precision Newsletter and the author of many fitness books, including Power Factor Training. John R. Little, a fitness writer for more than 15 years, is the author of numerous fitness books, including The Warrior WIthin and Power Factor Training.

Bruce Lee's last movie, Game of Death, was released shortly after the megastar's tragic death. From its first screening, controversy surrounded the film, with millions of fans worldwide believing it misrepresented Lee's vision and undermined his legitimacy as a martial artist and philosopher. Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey offers readers a unique insider's account of the remaking of this incomparable film--a film in which Lee intended to showcase not only his mastery as a martial artist and actor but also his personal philosophy. After searching nearly thirty years, Bruce Lee expert and award-winning filmmaker John Little found Lee's original scripting notes, directorial instructions, and more than ninety-five minutes of unreleased footage from this film. In the late 1990s, working closely with Lee's widow and referring to Lee's own copious notes, Little painstakingly reconstructed the movie according to Lee's vision. Here, readers get the inside story, firsthand from the man who made the discovery, remade the movie, and, in doing so, honored the best-loved and most highly respected martial artist in living history. The perfect complement to Warner Home Video's movie of the same name, Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey offers fans a rare behind-the-scenes account of remaking the film as well as the most comprehensive presentation of Lee's philosophy available to date.
