“Diagnosed before he was 25 years old, Anthony Scelta has lived a life, for all intents and purposes, knowing only Parkinson Disease…. Somehow through will, through physical conditioning, through sheer "guts" he gives all of us a message of hope in adversity. This is definitely a book worth reading!” - Abraham Lieberman, MD. Internationally recognized expert on Parkinson Disease, author of five books on the topic, and National Medical Director of the National Parkinson Foundation.
   
Anthony was a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist when he developed Parkinson’s Disease at the age of twenty-five. Nonetheless, he continued his career in fitness, co-creating the Health Trac 2000, endorsed by seven-time Ms. Olympia, Cory Everson. But by thirty-two, Anthony could barely do a pushup. After hitting rock-bottom - both physically and emotionally - he developed a strategy to defy despair, rebuilt his body and improved his health. Today, considering his Parkinson’s Disease, he is in phenomenal condition. He has gone from weighing a sickly 145 pounds to a solid 170 pounds, and his strength has improved dramatically. More importantly, however, he has learned how to defy despair and is helping others to do the same.
