A former Olympic hopeful-turned-truck driver has released a book on how to stay fit and lose weight even if you have a largely sedentary lifestyle.

Siphiwe Baleka is attempting to revolutionize the trucking industry, which has often been called one of the country's unhealthiest industries.

The fitness guru and long-haul trucker shared tips from his new book, "4-Minute Fit: The Metabolism Accelerator for the Time Crunched, Deskbound, and Stressed Out," live on "Good Morning America" today.

Baleka, a former NCAA Division I athlete at Yale University who failed to qualify for the 1992 U.S. Olympic swimming trials in the 100-meter freestyle by just 0.8 seconds, became a trucker in 2008 after searching for a job that would allow him to travel.

Here are Baleka's top three metabolism-boosting tips:

"4-Minute Fit: The Metabolism Accelerator for the Time Crunched, Deskbound, and Stressed Out" hits shelves today.
