Fitness books typically focus on the symptoms of poor fitness such as the expanding waistline, while ignoring the lifestyle choices that created them, whereas this title adopts a holistic approach to training, building good habits to support fitness long term.
Sam McGrath’s previous book for Osprey, The Para Fitness Guide (2010), was a popular title, with over 10,000 copies sold.
This book will be supported by a major media and PR campaign which will help drive sales and engage readers. The author is a proactive public figure, and has recently appeared in Men’s Health and FHM – Singapore editions.

Sam McGrath was the youngest soldier since World War II to achieve the rank of major and ran the selection course for the crack Parachute Regiment for three years. He left the military to enter the world of business and is now Managing Director of an FTSE 100 company in Singapore. The core values he learnt as a Para enable him to juggle this demanding corporate role with being a dedicated father of four and an elite endurance athlete.
