Lean and mean

Article Abstract:

Dick Woit once played for the Detroit Lions, but retired from football after a head injury. In 1956 he began running a fitness class out of a Chicago YMCA branch. There, he trained professional athletes and others with a grueling fitness regime of his own design. A man who broke his neck in a high school wrestling match credits Woit with helping him walk again.
