No more 'no pain, no gain'! Now you can learn to exercise comfortably, performing phsyically as never before . Take the work out of your workouts and feel better doing it. It sounds like a fantasy, but it's not. As you will see inside, dozens of top athletes are using John Douillard's techniques to dramatic effect. Wether you're young or old, an athlete or just thinking about getting in shape, Body, Mind, and Sport will help you to integrate body and mind for the ultimate fitness experience.
