The Big Book of Clubbell Training
Author: Scott SonnonPublisher: Circular Strength Training
ISBN: 9780976356066
Category : Exercise
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Throughout world history the club has been utilized not only for combat but also for health restoration and strength development. Records of club use date as far back as ancient Egypt, with the practice reaching its peak at the end of the 19th century. Scott Sonnon, creator of the patented Clubbell®, has resurrected this ancient discipline through his own extensive research, experimentation, and personal practice. He has successfully integrated, evolved, and refined the club into one of the most "simply sophisticated" exercise approaches ever created -- the Circular Strength Training® (CST) System. Going far beyond the limited practice of old-style "Indian Clubs," the CST system contains a collection of nearly 100 proprietary Clubbell® Training Exercises. As part of this fitness movement, Coach Sonnon also created International Clubbell® Sport, which has attracted athletes from around the globe. Clubbell® Training provides a unique blend of functional, full-range, three-dimensional muscular development that stands in stark contrast to the problematic limitations of conventional two-dimensional linear training. Practicing this system revitalizes, reenergizes and reorganizes every unused and overabused cell in your body from head to toe, core to periphery, and bones to skin. Benefits of Clubbell® Training include increased metabolism for a day-long fat burn, the breakup of restrictive adhesions and calcium deposits around the joints, the release of bound tension, the generation of tremendous energy and vitality, increased bone density, and injury prevention. CST training promotes significant gains in strength, power, stamina, endurance, and general health and longevity. It is the most fun that one can possibly have exercising!

Sweat
Author: Bill HayesPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620402297
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
A New Yorker Best Book of the year An Esquire Best Nonfiction Book of 2022 From Insomniac City author Bill Hayes, "who can tackle just about any subject in book form, and make you glad he did" (SF Chronicle)-a cultural, scientific, literary, and personal history of exercise. Exercise is our modern obsession, and we have the fancy workout gear and fads from HIIT to spin classes to hot yoga to prove it. Exercise-a form of physical activity distinct from sports, play, or athletics-was an ancient obsession, too, but as a chapter in human history, it's been largely overlooked. In Sweat, Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins, walks, bikes, boxes, lifts, sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the origins of different forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over time, dissecting the dynamics of human movement. Hippocrates, Plato, Galen, Susan B. Anthony, Jack LaLanne, and Jane Fonda, among many others, make appearances in Sweat, but chief among the historical figures is Girolamo Mercuriale, a Renaissance-era Italian physician who aimed singlehandedly to revive the ancient Greek “art of exercising” through his 1569 book De arte gymnastica. Though largely forgotten over the past five centuries, Mercuriale and his illustrated treatise were pioneering, and are brought back to life in the pages of Sweat. Hayes ties his own personal experience-and ours-to the cultural and scientific history of exercise, from ancient times to the present day, giving us a new way to understand its place in our lives in the 21st century.
