The Complete Book of Butt and Legs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Brungardt series of "Complete" Exercises finally gets around to covering lower body. It's nice to see a reference book that focuses on the most essential piece of a well-planned workout.
Legs (including Hamstrings, quads, and calves) are the thrust of this guide, and Brungardt certainly knows how to put together an excellent leg program, whether you are a novice or a pro. The Brungardt strategy is a sound 1-2-3 elevated program, guiding the reader from basic leg workouts up through some tough variations on the master of all weightlifting moves, the squat. The book takes a lot of time explaining the value of proper form in leg routines, which is essential for anyone looking to maintain a healthy back. Brungardt also spends a good deal of time explaining the importance of diet and cardio exercise to develope and tone some awesome legs.
The section on glute building is rather basic, but fits well with the material as most leg exercises involve the glutes, when done properly. Some individual focus on hyperextensions, among other exercises, give the reader some good tools if they want to add more of a glute building routine to their program.
I have found all of the Brungardts books to be a valuable guide for enforcing proper form, and getting some solid motivational advice (they always stress the importance of bringing the nind into the exercise, which is overlooked in most of today's exercise manuals). And it is nice to see legs get a book all their own - if you are like me, and know how valuable a good leg routine is to your workout, you'll appreciate the advice dispensed in this book. Of course, most gym rats won't be interested in a book that ignores the "pecs and guns" mentality that is so prevalent today in the gym. That's a shame, because this book is a great reminder of how lower body affects, and helps build a solid upper body as well

The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the classic book on Pilates matwork and Pilates principles. The original, hard-backed edition has been long out-of-print and very expensive on the used book market, but well worth the money. How exciting to find it republished!
Any Pilates student or instructor will be delighted to add this most informative and useful manual to their bookshelf. It is clear, very well written, beautifully illustrated, and comprehensive. As much as I like Brooke Siler and Alycea Ungaro's books, I find myself using this book more often.

Yoga for Real People: A Year of Classes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was recommended to me by my yoga teacher. But now, I feel as though I have TWO yoga teachers! As I read the book and do the postures I feel as though Jan Baker is right with me, guiding me through each step. And I love her meditations at the end of each lesson. I've been a follower of yoga for many years and have read numerous books on the subject...but never one that encompassed every aspect of yoga. Ms Baker's book is extremely precise. I love the way it's written...as thought it's just for me alone. It's a book that will benefit beginners...all the way up to yoga teachers (like mine)!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Yoga for Real People: A Year of Classes

For anyone intimidated by crowded yoga classes, complicated textbooks, headstands, or simply touching their toes, Yoga for Real People offers a year of classes that progress from beginning to intermediate to advanced levels of practice. A down-to-earth guide for yoga teachers and students alike, this book is illustrated throughout with more than 160 photographs correctly demonstrating 100 poses. Each lesson begins with a discussion of an important yogic concept, before presenting a posture to build flexibility and strength, followed by a meditation to inspire mental relaxation and spiritual growth. As students build a routine, they learn to first "do" the postures, then "experience" the postures, and finally "become" the postures. The appendix includes a complete list of the postures along with a helpful summary of the benefits. Jan Baker's gentle and encouraging style teaches readers how to listen to their bodies, how to stretch without strain, and, most of all, how to find joy in all things. As she writes in the introduction, "If you want to live longer, be healthier, more peaceful - yoga has the answer. How long does it take to accomplish this? That's up to you."

The Fitball Workout: The Easy Way to a Toned, Flexible Body Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)LOTS of photos. Probably one of the best basic books. Most of the exercises can be found elsewhere, but the photos make it very clear what to do. I prefer this over the more wordy and significant books. If you want a lot of theory, this isn't your book. If you just want good clear instructions on what you can do (and the expected results), then this book is perfect.

Dr. Divot's Guide to Golf Injuries: A Handbook for Golf Injury Prevention and Treatment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having taken up golf again once my son had grown, I quickly realized that I was not in the physical shape of the 20 year old I had been when I first started playing in college. After my first injury to my elbow and a badly strained shoulder, I started looking around for a book that would help me with conditioning, preventing injuries and counsel me if (please, no!) this happened once again. At this point I had had enough of physical therapy, MRIs, etc. and didn't wish to injure myself further.
In his book Dr. Divot addresses in two of his chapters The Female Golfer and The Older Golfer -- just made for me, although I have trouble admitting the latter. Over this winter I'm even trying out some of his conditioning exercises in the hope of beginning the golf season stronger and less prone to injury.
I gave copies of his book as gifts to my golf group this past Christmas -- we're all female golfers, but not all of us will admit to being older. We'll see how we do in the Spring.

Knockdown Knits: 30 Projects from the Roller Derby Track Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is so different from the knitting books I remember from 30 years or so ago, when they were boring patterns that assumed everyone lived a Ken and Barbie life. They remind me a little of the Alice Starmore knitting books and especially the Celtic collection in that they explaini a little of the culture in addition to offering knitting patterns from that culture. With the Starmore books I own, they're all wearing apparrel and sylistic. With these, I've got some things to wear and a few things to knit for practical uses.
I'm no roller girl, but I am over 50 and I can see lots of practical uses for some of those injury-related knitting projects. I wish I'd had that pea bag pattern when I had knee surgery a couple of years ago.
To quote a friend of mine who doesn't knit or like roller derby but who read the book: What a fun book!

Yoga and You: Energizing and Relaxing Yoga for New and Experienced Students Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Esther Myers, building on her background in Iyengar Yoga, finds a balanced and integrated style through the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli (author of "Awakening the Spine"). This book balances the history and philosophy of yoga with postures, breathing and meditation. She also includes personal anecdotes from her life, including her battle with breast cancer. Esther's approach is down-to-earth and her descriptions of the postures are clear, including drawings or pictures for each. I find myself going back to this book over and over, as a yoga teacher, to take in her simply profound wisdom and insight into yoga. "Yoga and You" is both inspirational and practical and highly recommended to anyone who is either just starting out, or has been practising yoga for years. An incredibly beautiful picture of the author with her cat shows a truly gently natured woman whom you feel you want to get to know as you read her book.

Power Yoga For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been aptly humbled. Years ago I was asked to participate in a Yoga class and immediately dismissed the idea as I felt "Yoga is too easy..." WOW was I wrong! A year ago while scrolling through channels, I happened upon a program named "Namaste Yoga" on the Fitness channel. "What the hay," I said "Can't be too hard." I am grateful to say the program I happened upon was one of the easier ones, as some of them are fairly difficult. I found myself crashing on my head during one of my earlier attempts at crane; however, I have persevered and could not imagine life without Yoga. Thank you for the extraordinary book and possibilities I will have sticking with this amazing discipline. It has changed my life.

The Permanent Pain Cure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Permanent Pain Cure covers the system that Ming uses to supplement the manual techniques he uses in his physical therapy practice. His methods comprise myofascial stretching and release techniques adapted largely from Guy Voyer, MD, DO and Mike Leahy's Active Release Techniques (ART). This is the only widely available book that I know of that teaches Voyer's myofascial stretching and ELDOA techniques (Ming does not use the term ELDOA, but rather spinal decompression stretches, which is basically what the French acronym ELDOA stands for). While the book does not cover the entire ELDOA and myofascial stretching system, it does teach key stretches that are probably of most benefit to the majority of readers. The ELDOAs that are shown appear to be selected according to the nerve roots that pass through the vertebral segments in question, e.g., delts, biceps, quads, hamstrings, etc.
Many of the myofascial stretches are slightly modified from Guy Voyer's original versions (at least the versions I know). However, I also think some of Ming's modifications are nice improvements. Another reviewer commented on the difficulty of the stretches. Having practiced many of Guy Voyer's stretches for the past three years and having attended his myofascial stretching seminar, I can attest to the difficulty of many of the stretches. This difficulty comes from the fact that many stretches require the simultaneous co-contraction of several muscles to create a properly targeted stretch. Another factor is that for many people, these stretches will target tissues that have never been stretched before, producing considerable resistance from the tight tissue. Consistent practice does make the stretches easier, and the payoff is well worth the effort. Some of the modifications Ming has made to the stretches make them easier to perform and give the user better leverage in some cases.
The middle section of the book covers a strengthening and conditioning program. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this section. It's good solid advice but nothing you can't find elsewhere (unlike the myofascial techniques).
The last section of the book teaches self soft tissue release techniques that are clearly modified from ART. These techniques are fairly easy to perform and in many cases can save the user the hassle and cost of seeking out an ART practitioner for minor issues. They are also excellent self maintenance techniques that can complement ART and other soft tissue work.
Overall, it's an excellent book and covers techniques that are hard to find without traveling to a few specialized (and expensive) seminars. I highly recommend it.

Tap Out Textbook: The Ultimate Guide to Sumissions for Grappling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even though the author used "Ultimate" in the title, he has actually done a fairly good job with this book. So much so, that I decided not to ding him a star in my ratings, which I usually do, because of him using "Ultimate," "Complete," or "Bible" in the title and then having the information provided inside the book not even coming close to living up to the title. And even though this isn't really the "Ultimate" guide to submissions for grappling, it is a darn good one.
The author primarily covers three basic areas in this book which are;
1. Arm Locks
2. Chokes and Strangles
3. Leg Locks
Although he does briefly go over several other areas that are essential to the primary focus of this book.
I did feel that there could have been a bit more detailed text in certain areas concerning the various techniques demonstrated, but that was really a minor concern and one that perhaps wouldn't even be noticed by someone already involved in jiu-jitsu, but probably would be by the novice or beginner.
The photographs were very well done and showed the techniques being demonstrated very well, although it would have been nice to see some of the techniques from a couple of additional angles.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Clinical Orthopedic Assessment Guide - 2nd Edition The


The Clinical Orthopedic Assessment Guide, Second Edition, is the foremost reference for comprehensive patient assessment. Conveniently packaged and competitively priced, it provides techniques for accurate patient assessment and functional information about normal and abnormal static and dynamic motions. This second edition has been reformatted with a smaller size, streamlined content, and lay-flat binding to be a practical addition to your collection.

Like the previous edition, the text takes a regional approach but now also includes material on the upper cervical spine, pelvis, and sacroiliac joint and information on the assessment of peripheral nerve injury and treatment techniques (adverse neurodynamics). In addition, the overall design and layout have been overhauled to make this resource even more user friendly and visually appealing. A more compact size makes it easier to transport or attach to a clipboard. A special binding allows clinicians to lay the book open on a flat surface without damaging the text's spine. Almost all illustrations have been converted to photos, and the quantity of photos has increased significantly. For clarity, many of the photos are enhanced with arrows showing direction of movement or highlighting specific elements. And finally, for easy recognition, special symbols have been added to the top of test and measurement pages so information can be located with a quick flip through the pages.

The streamlined organization of The Clinical Orthopedic Assessment Guide, Second Edition, makes it simple to find the information you need. The book flows through a regional presentation of clinical assessments and functional tests (including 40 new tests that were not featured in the first edition), a section on gait and posture, and a new section on adverse neurodynamics. The regional sections are further broken down into specific joints, and each joint-specific chapter follows a common layout so you can easily find exactly what you need:

-A description of joint basics, arthrokinematics, and neurology

-Surface palpation, muscle origin and insertion, and muscle action and innervation

-Subjective and objective examination sequences

-Clinical syndrome tables to assist with musculoskeletal differential diagnosisAdditionally, a suggested examination sequence for the history and test and measures is provided for each peripheral and spinal joint. Many of the tests are also accompanied with sensitivity and specificity values to help determine test utility.

Essential information regarding regional assessments and whole-body mechanical functions will be at your fingertips with The Clinical Orthopedic Assessment Guide, Second Edition. Keep this convenient reference close at hand to help you perform accurate assessments that will lead to proper diagnosis and care of patient injuries.

Stability, Sport, and Performance Movement: Great Technique Without Injury Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a sports medicine focused chiropractor, I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book. Ms. Elphinston does an exemplary job of teasing out and explaining thoroughly the most common movement dysfunctions that afflict athletes. Much of this info can also be generalized to the desk jockeys that find it difficult to get up and down stairs as those movement disturbances affect daily life as well.
Often, books of this type focus on the standard analysis and prescriptions that have become rote and somewhat ineffective in manual therapy and sports med environs. These well-worn remedies often lead athletes searching for a bit more. A typical example might be the observation that distance runners often suffer from tightness in the ITB. A "cure" is often offered as foam rolling, and/or regular manipulation. While this type of treatment can be helpful, in essence it is only so much manual aspirin. Ms. Elphinston delves deeper, encouraging the engaged athlete and the heads up clinician to get to the root with thorough analysis. She then follows with detailed exercise instructions to help work the athlete towards a sustainable and more functional solution.
Well cited, and dense enough to satisfy clinicians, I suspect that it will overshoot the understanding of all but the most saavy athletes. I would also highly encourage the author to follow up with a DVD to better illustrate the exercises. While the included exercises are well described, a 2D explanation pales before the nuances that can be elicited from 3D movement examples. These are not shortfalls though, and are only offered as ways to make upcoming editions that much better. Great work Ms. Elphinston and thanks for your contribution!!
