Amazin Lethi, your background is Vietnamese. What brought you to the USA?
Walt Disney once said that he could take the dreams of America and make them come true. When I looked at him and other well-known faces that came from humble beginnings or far away places and had made their vision a reality, then I too believed that America was where I needed to be. So I built my childhood dreams on that fantasy. That was really the driving force that brought me here. I too thought that I could somehow make an impact.
You are a very accomplished athlete, model, and former competitive natural body builder. What else are you qualified for?
I’ve always been very athletic and have competed in many sports outside bodybuilding. Besides my own personal love of sports, I’m a qualified strength trainer, boxing coach and martial artist. I’ve trained everyone from special forces to Olympic athletes. I’ve also studied life coaching, NLP, and holistic counselling. I do many different things. I also create art and have exhibited my work in the US and other parts of the world. I hope to one-day operate art and sports workshops in Africa and Asia, as well as, the US.
What audience are you reaching with your new book, Free Weights Training?
All my books target the fitness enthusiast from different angles. If you happened to buy all of my books, you’d find that there is something for every aspect from fitness and nutrition to the entire healthy lifestyle. With this in mind, my latest book, Free Weights Training, targets an audience that needs greater instructional information on training with free weights and how it can be applied at home or in the gym. My book helps demystify free weights as part of the overall fitness routine.
As a qualified strength trainer, many people I trained found health and fitness books sometimes too complicated to understand. I make a point of writing as if I was there speaking with the client in a very easy to read format with clear pictures and a glossary with useful terminology.
