Will of Iron: Principles for Healthy Living
- 7 Comment
From The Back Cover:
A mysterious intestinal disorder nearly killed Peter Nielson at the age of 15. After doctors were finally able to diagnose Chrohn’s Disease, after he finally confronted and beat self-pity, the fragile Brooklyn teen dedicated his life to fitness and health.
The story of his journey from pumpimg iron at a gritty Flatbush gym to posing at Studio 54 to winning the Mr. International Universe title is riveting and inspiring chronicle of success forged from adversity.
In Will of Iron, Nielson reveals a passion for fitness far beyond the narrow scope of bodybuilding, He shows how the principles of nutrition, exercise, and mental toughness that won for him more than 70 trophies, can translate to a healthy lifestyle for anyone.
Gym rate will find a “clean” path to success without steroids. Readers who have never pumped iron or never even jogged a block will find themselves determed to put true quality in their quality time by getting, and staying, fit. And young and old alike will discover a fascinating, compelling, and inspiring story.
My Take on the Book:
I really liked this book. It is a very inspirational read. After seeing what this person went through, you can appreciate how good you really have it. This book shows what a person can go through and still make it. There are also sections on nutrition, conditioning and training.

I’ve read this book once. Personally it wasn’t my favourite book on lifting and it is aimed more at the beginners. I thinks it’s a good read for everyone who’s new to bodybuilding.

You have to admit the guy went through some tough times and he lifted anyway in spite of his health issues.

Wow, thats a pretty amazing story! I haven’t read the book. It looks a little old now days, but it probably still has some some good concepts I’d imagine.

HI PETER,
I’m 73 years old and am trying to lose weight. I joined weight watchers and a gym. Is there anything written for my age group on the proper way to accomplish this?
Thank youApril 17th, 2011 at 2:25 pm -

The first thing I would do is contact my doctor and possibly take a stress test to see if you can handle cardio and or weight training. Consider walking to get yourself moving. Cut back on your food intake and make sure that you eat slightly less than your body needs to lose some weight. A combination of both of these items will help you lose weight, but make sure you contact your doctor first to make sure you can handle it.
