FOREWORD by James Brown

To some, I am the hardest working man in show business, to others the "Godfather of Soul."  The truth is, I have created music and performed for most of my life and enjoyed every minute of it.  Through good times and bad, I have always tried to move people, move America, move the world - inside and out, to a better place.

In Dr. Mason's Funky Revolutionary Mind, Body and Spirit Workout, my music and my message of self-determination come to you in a very creative way to achieve the same purpose: to transport you to a better place.

I believe that the Funky Revolutionary Workout will be an inspiration for all people.  We all want to be healthier in mind and body and to feel and look better.  We just need a little motivation to get there.  Getting better starts on the inside and then works its way out.  This workout makes you think and feel good at the same time.  It makes you work hard, but let my funky beats carry you through it and you will enjoy every minute of it. Sound familiar?                                     

Life is a blessing, but you have to do right by yourself to truly enjoy it.  Take heart, the energy and irrestible funky spirit of my music, the message of this book and your Funky Revolutionary Workout will get you there.

Good God...take me to the bridge!  It is time to join the revolution.
