Natural Movement (book)

Invest little, achieve a lot. The training programme for anyone who wants to enjoy life whilst staying fit  How often have you embarked on a new fitness programme or started a diet with the best of intentions, only to fall short of your own expectations all too soon? In this unusual and compelling guide, Christian Zippel proves that above-average fitness does NOT require above-average effort. Just 20 per cent effort yields 80 per cent success – if you go about it the right way. This way, you can enjoy your life AND stay fit. All it comes down to is keeping the balance of your own ‘fitness account’ in the black. All it takes is two 20-minute training sessions a week and a few tweaks to your daily routine. Whether at home, in the park or even on the playground – you can do the bodyweight exercises presented in this book anywhere. Additional exercises using gymnastic rings allow you to train at the highest level, and combining these with numerous interval training options makes 80/20 fitness perfect. If you then stick to a few simple basic rules regarding your diet, you can confidently stop counting calories and even treat yourself to a proper feast every now and then. After all, nothing works without energy.

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 released 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.
