"The Swing" Ta-Da! Surprise, Surprise!

Well....it's official! Actually it's been official, but now it's really official! Here is the cover of my book, "The Swing" on Amazon. Available for pre-order and it looks as if a Kindle version will also be available (hopefully on audio too!) Release date of March 13, 2012....how exciting! The whole experience has shot me over the moon and it's barely getting starting (fingers crossed).

Originally the release was predicted for right after Christmas but that was changed a month or so ago. I prefer the later release because it gives me a little more time to get ready and I think the audience that will be looking for something new after the onslaught of New Year's diet and fitness books run their courses will be just as large. Barnes and Noble increased their original order so you'll be seeing my face when you walk into those bookstores! And speaking of my face...how thrilling is it to have my image, an such a powerful image of me swinging, on the front cover! It's very unusual for a first time author, non celebrity, to have their picture on the cover! Lucky me!

"The Swing" is more than a diet and fitness book, I hope. It's my own personal story of how it's never too late to transform your body, your mind, and your life as I did. The kettlebell swing was the exercise that helped transform my body in a way I never could imagine. And learning how to teach this amazing skill has transformed me into a different kind of person.

Many times I hear, read and see stories of people that have lost tremendous amounts of weight go on to become personal trainers. I don't consider myself a personal trainer I consider myself a kettlebell instructor and motivational speaker. I also often say "If there was something better (than the kettlebell swing), I'd be doing it!" And as I mentioned in my last post, being in shape, getting in shape safely, allows you to try other things, other sports, in addition to improving your quality of life. The kettlebell swing is the safest and fastest way for practically anyone, age, weight, or condition,to change their physical health, their bodies, level of cardio fitness and confidence. I know no other exercise that regularly turns people into feeling like a bad ass, me included. But the kettlebell won't swing itself! (Mark's phrase)

I hope more people than ever will pick up my book, pick up a kettlebell and start to live the rest of their lives stronger, body, mind and spirit, than they ever thought possible. To find the inner athlete, the inner bad ass, the person they always knew they were, the person they were born to be. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!
