Body Shaping with a Fitness Band (book)

Core Performance – Endurance (book) – THE CORE training programme continues! Following the sensational success of the books “CORE Performance” and “The CORE Programme”, the German national football team’s fitness coach has now published another title. The Core Endurance Programme helps endurance athletes to make their training more efficient and prevent injuries. For anyone who feels they can no longer improve their performance in running, swimming or cycling due to a lack of time, a lack of motivation or their age, this book is just the thing. Mark Verstegen shows how to break through a plateau and achieve new performance goals. He presents a simple, holistic training programme that enables better results to be achieved despite shorter training sessions. Among other things, he emphasises a specific warm-up routine and attaches great importance to the correct execution of movements when running, swimming and cycling. The programme is complemented by a nutrition plan developed specifically for endurance athletes. This is the English edition of the book, which comprises a total of 238 pages.

Your Best Training – 150 tips from Germany’s most successful coach   When it comes to sporting performance, it is often small factors that ultimately determine victory or defeat, success or failure. It is not simply the athlete with the highest training volume who comes out on top, but the one who trains optimally – yet no more than necessary – who sleeps well and restfully, follows a performance-enhancing diet and is supplied with all the essential nutrients. It is not uncommon for minor adjustments to a training or nutrition plan to prevent dips in performance and compensate for physical weaknesses. Stuttgart-based professional trainer Wolfgang Unsöld is currently one of the most sought-after experts when it comes to performance-oriented strength and conditioning training. The experienced personal trainer and strength coach, who studied under legendary trainer Charles Poliquin, works with the largest number of elite athletes across Europe, including many footballers as well as UFC fighter Peter Sobotta, jiu-jitsu world champion Romy Korn and 100-metre sprinter Sven Knipphals. In this book, he brings together his best advice and strategies for maximum training success, including many innovative yet scientifically proven and tried-and-tested insider tips. In the three chapters on training, nutrition and sleep, Unsöld explains which small or large changes to daily routines, training regimens and diets can help readers maximise their sporting performance. He has compiled an indispensable collection of valuable tips for anyone who wants to achieve more from their training, from ambitious sports enthusiasts and professional athletes to coaches. About the author Wolfgang Unsöld is the founder and Head Coach of the Your Personal Strength Institute (YPSI) in Stuttgart, which offers personal training and consultancy, as well as seminars and coaching qualifications for personal trainers and strength coaches.
