Über den Autor / die Autorin
Born in Chicago, Waldimir (Wally) Baskovich overcame early challenges: a near-drowning, bullying, social anxiety, and the chaos of the hippie era to build a life of resilience and purpose. Motivated by his father, a one-legged AAU gymnastics champion and U.S. amputee golf champion, Wally forged his own path through martial arts, weight training, and spiritual growth. Further inspired by fitness pioneers like Jack LaLanne, Charles Atlas, Bruce Lee, and Dr. Arthur Jones of Nautilus, he has spent over fifty years developing a practical, enduring fitness and life approach that blends old-school grit, functional strength, and mind-body discipline.
