By John Austin Foster- If you guys have followed Life Warrior, you know that we are not your typical training program. If you’re new, understand that Life Warrior is about re-defining your view and relationship to your health and fitness practice and not just about working you out, helping you lose weight, reducing your blood pressure, improving your cardiovascular fitness, etc.
