Well, it's well worth buying if you're interested in seeing Bruce Lee's fitness training. That's all you really need to know about the book - I've been doing martial arts for a couple of years and this is very good, even for non-martial artists.
It has some of his circuit training methods, and it all in all a very motivational and interesting book.
It also has some of his weight training activities, I've been lifting weights for about 7 years and I'd recommend all of his exercises (apart from the 'Good Morning' exercise which is commonly known to cause back injuries) - and going through them, all of the main exercises as well as a few of his own inventions which are also very good are included.
This should have everything you need to get fit and also some good pictures of Bruce Lee in his prime, which should get you working out.

This is a book I bought because since I was a kid I was fascinated by Bruce Lee and his muscles on muscles physique. I really didn't think there would be a collection as detailed on how Bruce had achieved it and am amazed John Little has done such a good job in not only presenting the excercises practiced by Bruce but also presenting them in a way that is easy to understand if you are beginning your own physical improvement programme. I have achieves some good improvements in my own conditioning using the methods in this book and think anyone else could do the same.

If you're interested in Bruce Lee, or working out, or both, you'll probably love this book.
I got this on my 19th birthday, and my whole life has changed 'cos of the information in this book. I used to detest exercise, but now I'll usually work outy 6 times a week.
The insight into Lee's training methods is outstanding, but best of all you see that the methods he used weren't mystic or magical, just basic common sense stuff. Of course, the difference is that Bruce Lee took it to another level with a frame of mind and determination hard to achieve.
Trust me, this is a fantastic book, and I still refer back to it now. It's a constant source of inspiration. Just buy it, buy it now....
