Autobiography and fitness guide of Certified Fitness Trainer, gym owner, TV personality, motivational speaker, and bodybuilder Rhonda Murphy, based in Fresno, CA. Co-authored by Maryann Souza Garcia, an executive in the Central California health-care industry. The book includes illustrated workout suggestions, a workout diary, and suggested diet and nutrition guidelines. Rhonda Murphy tells her personal story of evolving from a severely dyslexic and hot-tempered youth to becoming one of the nation's first female firefighters, only to gain 60 pounds after a debilitating back injury and eventually reinventing herself as a champion bodybuilder, TV fitness expert, and owner/operator of a popular Fresno gym. Rhonda Murphy is a living testament to her mantra: "fitness is from the chin up."
