With his guru-like clarity, this 100-year-old sage introduced fitness as a spiritual discipline to his student. His timeless wisdom is for everyone who has fought the demons of weight-loss and won, then lost. Then gained, then lost. For the sake of our personal health, or neighbor, and the planet, we have never had a timelier message to embrace once again.
