About

Hi, my name is Leny Pearson and I would like to welcome to FitnessAndHealthBook.com.  The inspiration for this site came after I got on the scale one day and realized that I was tipping the scales at over 300 pounds.  I was absolutely motified.

A little background.  I didn’t get to 300 pounds by not working out.  I had spent the majority of my adult life as a bodybuilder, fitness coach, and all around athelete.  I worked out frequently, and lifted a lot of heavy weights.  Then came the injury.  I had a torn rotator cuff, torn trapezius muscle, bone spurs, a LOT of scar tissue, oh and a bone in my shoulder that needed to be fused!  I walked around for a year thinking that my shoulder was just sore (did I mention I have a high tolerance for pain).

I had my first surgery to repair the rotator cuff, muscle, bone spurs, and scar tissue.  I figured that I would be back in the gym in six weeks.  Didn’t happen.  I had the surgery to fuse the break in my clavicle six months later, and had to remain immobilized for another seven months so that the hardware wouldn’t break and the bone could fuse.

After all the sitting around getting bigger and bigger, I was eager to get back to the gym, however my body had changed, and what used to be second nature to me seemed almost impossible now.  I gained a lot of weight but could lift very little.  I had to learn how to workout like a beginner again to lose this weight.

There is a lot of information out there on how to work out, and a lot of it is very good…if you’ve already started working out.  It’s harder for beginners.  Hence this site.  Fitness and Health Book will help you attain a health lifestyle by promoting books and products that promote fitness.  I will do my best to supply information that beginners need to get started, and what the experienced will need to continue their journey to fitness.  I will post useful articles, and answer questions about fitness and health.  I will list e-books,  recipes, apparel, and equipment that will help you achieve your goals, in a safe way.  I will also keep readers informed about my progress, and I want to hear about yours as well.  My main purpose is to create a community where we can help each other with inspiration, motivation and information.

I can’t wait to hear from you.
