For many people, the thought of getting into shape –– or just the act of exercising for that matter –– is like throwing a speeding locomotive into reverse. An enormous amount of energy has to come to a loud, grinding halt in a short period of time, and then slowly begin to move in the opposite direction.
Getting into shape, biologically, is a relatively easy process; the hard part, more often than not, is simply getting started. Being physically fit takes commitment, discipline, concentration, and an overall desire to succeed.
Making the commitment to physical fitness, in many ways, presents a greater challenge than the weights and workout routines that will follow; and in the beginning, many people make the mistake of training too hard and too fast, causing soreness, frustration, and discouragement. Walking blindly into a gym and grabbing a piece of equipment in the hopes that something will happen will never work. To achieve your fitness goals, you need to plan your work –– and work your plan.
Body Mechanics – Beginner’s Guide to Fitness helps you create that plan, by helping you understand your body, and the changes beginning an exercise program will play upon it.
Body Mechanics – Beginner’s Guide to Fitness covers the importance of making a commitment to exercise, and what results you can expect in the first month. How to keep up your motivation, and develop a fitness program that is right for you. Understanding the importance of weight training and cardiovascular training –– and how to get the maximum benefits of both. Knowing the muscles in the human body and detailed instructions on performing different exercises to work each one; employing proper form to achieve maximum results.
Changing one’s lifestyle is never easy, especially when food, schedules, and physical exertion are involved. Body Mechanics – Beginner’s Guide to Fitness helps ease you into the world of physical fitness. Taking your new exercise program one step at a time helps to condition your body to respond positively to the exciting changes that will come.

Product Description
There’s plenty of conventional wisdom on health and fitness—but how much of it is scientifically sound? The truth is: less than you’d think.
In Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?, physicist and award-winning journalist Alex Hutchinson tackles dozens of commonly held beliefs and looks at just what research science has—and has not—proven to be true:
Should I exercise when I’m sick? • Do I get the same workout from the elliptical machine that I get from running? • What role does my brain play in fatigue? • Will running ruin my knees? • To lose weight, is it better to eat less or exercise more? • How should I adapt my workout routine as I get older? • Does it matter what I’m thinking about when I train? • Will drinking coffee help or hinder my performance? • Should I have sex the night before a competition?
This myth-busting book covers the full spectrum of exercise science and offers the latest in research from around the globe, as well as helpful diagrams and plenty of practical tips on using proven science to improve fitness, reach weight loss goals, and achieve better competition results.

See inside every stretch—and maximize flexibility! Stretching Anatomy will arm you with the knowledge to increase range of motion, supplement training, enhance recovery, and maximize efficiency of movement. You’ll also gain a detailed understanding of how each stretch affects your body.
Stretching Anatomy is like having an X-ray of each stretch, only better. Not only do you see full-color illustrations of the muscles in action, but you also find out how changes in position can alter the muscle emphasis and difficulty and how variations can improve safety and effectiveness.
Each exercise includes detailed instruction on how to stretch, when to stretch, primary and secondary muscle emphasis, and which muscles are activated for support. Stretching programs provide three levels of difficulty, including light stretching that can be used as a warm-up or to aid in recovery from soreness or injury. And summary movement tables show how to customize stretching programs to focus on key problem areas.
Whether it is increased flexibility or reduced muscle soreness or tension, Stretching Anatomy allows you to see and feel the benefit of proper stretching technique.
