Fitness and Training: Strength and Body Weight Training

Product Description

The human body craves activity. Since the dawn of human existence, we’ve evolved to climb, run, jump, and crawl. Body weight and strength training, therefore, are integral aspects of fitness. Nowadays, you can hardly go one day without hearing about the latest way to lose weight, get stronger, or build muscle. Resistance training has cemented its place in human activity and recreation - whether you lift weights or not. Bodyweight and Strength Training examines how to manipulate resistance training - from basic bodyweight movements to the most advanced barbell exercises - to improve athletic performance, enhance health and wellness, decrease injury risk, and more. Every book in the Fitness and Training series looks extensively at the impact of diet, exercise, mental training and physical training on the human body. Especially in the modern world, a lifestyle of fitness is critical to well-being and longevity, and this 8-title series teaches you how to help adopt the right approach.
