Do you think running sucks?
Do you think you're too fat to run?
Look no further, Not Your Average Runner is for everyone. With humor, compassion, and lots of love, Jill Angie delivers the goods: overcoming the challenges of running with an overweight body and giving individuals' self-esteem an enormous boost in the process. This isn't a guide to running for weight loss, or a simple running plan. It shows readers how a woman carrying a few (or many) extra pounds can successfully become a runner in the body she has right now. Jill Angie is a certified running coach and personal trainer who wants to live in a world where everyone is free to feel fit and fabulous at any size. She started the Not Your Average Runner movement in 2013 to show that runners come in all shapes, sizes and speeds, and, since then, has assembled a global community of revolutionaries that are taking the running world by storm.
If you would like to be part of the revolution, flip to the inside and find out more!
Your Best Abs is revolutionary in its approach, but the research
behind its benefits has been around for years. The premise is
simple: Train the abs as they are designed to work, not by doing
crunches and sit-ups, but by properly bracing the core. The purpose
of the abs is to resist spinal extension-to brace and hold, not to
push and pull. Your Best Abs provides a way to sculpt the abs
without damaging the lower back or any other part of the body. This
holistic approach includes warm-ups, cool-downs, stretching,
strengthening, power training, and a nutrition plan designed to
deliver maximum results. Whether performing upper- or lower-body
moves, using core isometrics to stabilize the core is the deciding
factor for performance enhancement. The research-based,
martial-arts inspired strategies help to train the abs from the
inside-out, enhancing neutral spine alignment, strengthening
postural muscles, and improving athletic performance. Your Best Abs
is a revolutionary way to a smaller waistline and stronger core, it
will change the way you train your abdominals at home and at the
gym.
This is an innovative, illustrated guide to new practices that
release the tension held in the body to create a new balanced
alignment. In yoga, even seasoned practitioners have the habit of
working the body from the surface layers of muscle. The muscles are
linked to will power and discipline, and working hard on the mat
can create unhealthy strain in the body. Author Gert van Leeuwen
teaches his unique sequences of standing postures, inversions,
forward bends, backbends, twists, and pranayama to get you to
optimal alignment and ease.
