Strengthening with your own body 494 x otherwise

The revised edition of the most successful book on strengthening with your own body is supplemented with exercises to strengthen the middle of the body - the so-called core training. The well-known promoter, fitness and aerobics trainer Helena Jarkovská together with her daughter Markéta have thus extended the original book, bringing a comprehensive set of purposeful strengthening exercises, which are arranged according to the anatomical and physiological effects on individual areas of the musculoskeletal system - and in connection with this also on the nervous, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Nearly 500 exercises are demonstrated in illustrative photographs and divided according to the muscle groups and joints involved in the movement. The book is aimed at anyone who wants to exercise independently at home and in the gym, but it also provides a wealth of ideas and advice for fitness and other exercise instructors and trainers.
