Functional Training / Simple / Effective

Simple - effective - time-saving - for beginners, advanced and professionals!

A new wave of fitness is sweeping in from the USA: under the term "functional training" there are new, simple sets of exercises ("workouts") whose effectiveness surpasses all previous exercise methods.

This well-designed book provides a thorough introduction to the basics of "functional training": it describes in detail the most important exercises and their effect on different body parts and muscle groups, recommends appropriately designed workouts and offers the possibility of individually adapting the exercises to one's own physical abilities.

"Functional Training" is an invaluable practical guide for all those who want to work on their fitness and weight management, or improve in their sport. The motto of this book is: You can do more than you think and still have fun doing it!

The new "functional training" exercises have three big benefits:

• they are simple but flexible
• require almost no special equipment to perform them (i.e. no additional cost)
• they allow general and targeted training (for specific sports
)

The execution of each exercise is illustrated step by step and it is always indicated for which sport the respective muscle groups need to be trained: cycling, swimming, running, football or racket sports such as tennis or squash. Björn Kafka is a fitness expert and coach of successful cyclists. Olaf Jenewein is a sought-after physiotherapist. Just stay fit!
