Central De Flexiones: ¡55 maneras de hacer flexiones de brazos y desarrollar parte superior del cuerpo!
by Rahul MookerjeeSi tuvieras que elegir un solo ejercicio, las flexiones serían el resultado. Los principales objetivos de cualquier programa de entrenamiento son los siguientes (ya sea todos o uno de los siguientes) Salud y forma física de adentro hacia afuera - así como vitalidad interna, Fuerza central, y esa sección media desgarrada que todos quieren - junto con los beneficios de SALUD asociados. Una mente clara y la capacidad de enfocarse como un caballo con anteojeras en incluso el más IMPRESIONANTE de los objetivos que hay. Ya sea en lo que respecta a la forma física o a la vida.

Esos son los principales objetivos de entrenamiento para la mayoría de la gente, y la flexión de brazos se ocupará de todas estas preocupaciones de una manera real - y luego algunos!

Sin embargo, dile al tipo promedio que puede obtener un entrenamiento completo haciendo nada más que flexiones de brazos - y probablemente te mirará como si te hubieses salido de tu rutina. Este curso debería hacer MUCHO, si no TODO, para evitar que este tipo de nociones tontas se extiendan más de lo que lo han hecho. Control de daños. Lo sé, pero un océano está hecho de gotas, amigo mío, y un control de daños suficiente asegurará que la gente en general (finalmente) empiece a volver a la forma en la que se supone que deben estar, a diferencia de las criaturas gordas, perezosas y descuidadas que se meten todo tipo de basura en el estómago todo el día. Flexiones, mi amigo, te convertirá en

Climbing the Walls
by Kieran CunninghamWhen mountains are your salvation, what keep your mental weather calm and free of storms, how do you cope if they&’re out of reach? After spending a decade restlessly globetrotting in search of a way of life that worked for him, journalist Kieran Cunningham alighted on Sondrio, a small town in Lombardy, Italy. A stone&’s throw from the Alps, there he found the perfect combination of fresh mountain air, a strong network of local friends and lots of climbing. Finally he was able to accept and manage his diagnosis of Bipolar 1. And then Lombardy found itself the European epicentre of Covid-19 and subject to the strictest of lockdowns. What does a climber do when his beloved peaks are off limits? When he&’s only permitted to leave the house for his weekly sanctioned grocery shop? When all the things that help him maintain his delicate equilibrium are taken away? As Kieran feels his mental health begin to crumble, he looks desperately for something he can climb to help rid him of his excess energy and hopefully get him back on track. Kieran finds himself navigating the walls of his house over and over while gazing at the mountain ranges so tantalisingly close. He dreams of that first euphoric climb – alone in the clouds, tired, happy, sated. Climbing the Walls is a memoir about mental health and the power of nature and exercise. It&’s both a devastatingly honest account of living with Bipolar 1 and a love song to small-town Italian life and the high places that keep him healthy.

Close Encounters of the Microbial Kind: Everything You Need to Know About Common Infections
by Michael Wilson Philippa J. WilsonMicrobes – can’t live with them, can’t live without them. Increasingly, we’re finding out that our microbiota (the microbes that live on us) are essential for our wellbeing – they provide us with nutrients and vitamins and play a key role in developing our immune system. On the other hand, they are responsible for a great deal of misery, as they are major causes of death and debility around the world. As well as our own microbiota turning against us, there are lots of other microbes out in the wider world that can seriously damage, or even kill, those they infect. The current pandemic of COVID-19 shows the devastating effect that an infectious disease can have – our lives have been turned upside down.If you live in a developed country, you’re not likely to get killer diseases such as ebola and cholera, but you do have a high chance of catching other infections that can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. This book focuses on those infections you’re most likely to go down with, and supplies the answers to the following questions about them:Which infectious diseases are we likely to come across?How common are they? What microbes cause them? What happens to our bodies during an infection? How are the resulting illnesses treated?How can we avoid getting them? This book covers nearly 60 infectious diseases that people living in developed countries are likely to experience at some point during their life. It also has an introductory chapter that describes, in everyday language, the basic principles of microbiology and infectious diseases. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated, has interesting, relevant inserts, and provides a list of web-accessible suggestions for further reading.

by Jean Shinoda BolenFace Life Threatening Situations and Find Hope“This book can be a companion to anyone in physical or mental pain and crisis.” —Louise L. Hay, author of You Can Heal Your LifeWhen confronted with a life threatening condition, most people think that doctors have the final word. But, Jean Shinoda Bolen reminds us that the mind has a powerful effect on a prognosis and the process of healing.Everyone faces illness. Whether it’s a personal health crisis or sickness a loved one is experiencing, none of us escape this life without encountering some form of illness or death. While we can try to ignore the reality, internationally known author and speaker Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen suggests we do the exact opposite: face it. By encountering the frightening world of serious illness and death, we can better uncover how it gives purpose to the journey of souls.Trust what you know in your bones. Dr. Bolen shares how what we learn often connects to what we know to be true. As a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, Dr. Bolen has an acute understanding of what shapes a person, particularly as it relates to one’s sense of balance and wholeness. Based on her knowledge and experience, she guides us to find the truth buried in our own bones.A tool for help and healing. While encountering sickness is inevitable, healing often seems harder to come by. We are left broken open when life threatening illness hits. While there is no single key to recovery, it is rare to find healing without first addressing the pain. This book serves as a guide to finding purpose in the pain.Read Close to the Bone and find:An insightful book for anyone living with a life-threatening illnessEncouragement for facing illness by relying on the wisdom we all have withinA supplemental guide for those who want to form support circlesIf books such as Invisible Acts of Power; When Things Fall Apart; or No Mud, No Lotus have helped you; then Close to the Bone is the next book you need to read.

by Wang YunImmersing the mind with the concepts of the Daoist path of health and immortality, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain invokes the sacred birthplace of one of China's mystical mountains that has stimulated both mind and body for generations.Whilst the first volume, Climbing the Steps to Qingcheng Mountain, invited the reader to travel across time and through the history of China and Daoism, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain is more focused in the book's purpose.

He offers tales from his life and journey, along with accessible tools to strengthen both body and qi.Bridging the gap between practical experience and philosophical background, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain simplifies the complex practices of Daoism handed down by generations of accomplished Masters, and gifts the reader with its most valuable aspects for a modern world.
Coaching Masters Athletes: Advancing Research and Practice in Adult Sport
by Bettina CallaryThis book is a foundational resource for all coaches and student coaches who are, or who plan to be, working with Masters athletes. This athletic cohort typically includes adults over the age of 35 years who are registered for sport programs/events, and who invest in training to improve themselves for competitions that range from recreational to championship caliber. As the boom in Masters sport continues worldwide, coaches are increasingly tasked with the development and support of adults’ quality sport experiences, and the implementation of strategies to foster skill acquisition and to facilitate their pursuit of competitive goals. This book presents what is different about coaching Masters athletes and prompts coaches to expand their scope of practice beyond traditional knowledge associated with youth or younger adult cohorts. It is essential for coaches to understand the psychological and social considerations that are unique to coaching adult sports-persons and Masters athletes, and that can be adapted to adults whose training and preparation for competition is quite varied. Coaching Masters Athletes: Advancing Research and Practice in Adult Sport explores the research and practice specific to planning to coach Masters athletes and divulges what is known about distinctive considerations for delivering coaching interventions to this cohort, expanding on coaches’ abilities to influence adults’ personal development, as well as their own coach education through Masters Sport. Readers and students of Coaching, Physical Activity, Health Psychology, Sport Leadership and Exercises Science will gain valuable applied perspectives grounded in best practice research on how to coach one of the fastest-growing sporting cohorts, to promote quality adult sport, and to keep adult sports-persons engaged and active as they age.
