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.

Wild animals follow their instincts. They move in the way nature intended them to. Why shouldn’t the same apply to humans? Our modern lifestyle is sedentary and unnatural. This makes us ill – both physically and mentally. For optimal fitness and health, we need neither new training methods nor gyms. All we need to do is perform the movements for which the human body is designed. MOVNAT founder Erwan Le Corre impressively demonstrates how we can rediscover our diverse innate abilities, such as climbing, balancing, crawling, throwing and rolling. Detailed, illustrated step-by-step sequences show you methods, exercises and movement patterns that you can use to train anywhere and at any time, helping you to achieve a naturally strong and healthy body. About the author: Erwan Le Corre, founder of the world-renowned fitness system MovNat, aims to bring the natural movement patterns of our ancestors back into our modern lives. Through MovNat, he expresses his great passion for movement in the great outdoors as well as his personal philosophy of life. He believes that everyone has a right, from birth, to be strong, healthy, happy and free – a state he calls ‘True Nature’. Le Corre shares this knowledge worldwide through certified MovNat trainers and numerous training studios, as well as in his book. Read an extract
