You can get it thorugh google books here: <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ODYBeua_xEIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=physical+culture+and+self+defense" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=ODYBeua_xEIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=physical+culture+and+self+defense</a> Favorite quote: "You must impress it upon your mind, however, that there must be no weakening of the tasks that you laid down for yourself. Some cold morning you will get up, possibly after a hard night, feeling languid and unrefreshed. Instead of taking your cold bat, rub-down and exercises, you may be tempted to say, "Oh! I'll just skip it this once, and jump into my clothes." Such weakness is fatal. Persevere!" I always loved Fitzsimmons’ book “Physical Culture and Self Defense”.

I was just on that website yesterday, and I read that book. Although it was written many years ago, the advice is simple and effective, which makes this a timeless classic. I especially loved the discussion about will power in chapter 4 or 5. He addresses the population that makes excuses for not working out because of their jobs, lack of time, and other obligations. Even though simple tools and methods of exercising have been around forever, there have also been "excuse-makers" around forever. Despite being written many years ago, this book still has relevance to health and fitness. What a coincidence. I was just on that website yesterday, and I read that book.
