THE BOOK

Manual de supervivencia del adicto al WOD

Pagas por sufrir. Te duelen hasta las pestañas. Y encima dices que te encanta.

Este manual no te va a poner en forma. Te ayuda a sobrevivir a la clase de prueba, al idioma del box, al coach que cuenta mal, a la fauna del gimnasio y a la cena familiar en la que juras que no es una secta.

✓Más de 60 ilustraciones en blanco y negro.
✓Tests, un bingo para la clase y el excusómetro.
✓Las 20 reglas de supervivencia y un diploma de adicto.
✓Humor ilustrado. No es un plan de entrenamiento.
