Are you one of those people who responded positively as a child to the Jesus story, but gradually, as you grew, found more and more anomalies and queries in - which you either never had time to properly look into, or else never really reached a satisfactory resolution to? Or maybe you are someone who has never anyway understood what the fuss was about? If so, Michael Boyle reckons you and he have a lot in common. In his case, natural indolence combined with a constantly pressing need to achieve his own aims and ambitions, led to the same end, with what had indeed been dear to him as a child being almost entirely absent in any really meaningful way from his life, with only, in the background, the potentially bogus reassurance of a plan to one day revisit his spiritual dimension. The regular deserts and derailments he experienced in life, along with, more importantly, the many human examples of love and lives more fully lived that he encountered, eventually turned his focus more and more onto trying to fulfil that plan and make time and space for his true self. Making time to rediscover Jesus' life journey has been part of his process of rediscovering the things in life that are truly indispensable. He has found many surprises on the way. Here he invites you to join him on a companionable return journey through that wonderful story, a story that, perhaps, was precious to you as a child, but has long since faded into minor relevance in your life.

Use functional training to better prepare for athletic competition. The term “functional training” has been associated with a fair amount of controversy ever since it became part of the fitness training vernacular more than a decade ago. In Functional Training Anatomy, noted strength and conditioning specialists Kevin Carr and Mary Kate Feit cut through the clutter and misconceptions about functional training and cover all aspects of how to build a purposeful, effective, and efficient program that provides the strength, stability, and mobility you need to support your body in life and in sports. Beginning with a clear definition of what functional training entails, you will learn about the importance of mobility training and its impact on movement quality, performance, and injury reduction. Use the warm-up activities to prepare for high-intensity activities. Use the medicine ball and plyometric exercises to learn to produce and absorb force. Develop power with Olympic lifts, kettlebell swings, and jumping exercises. Improve strength in the upper body, lower body, and core with hip-dominant, knee-dominant, pushing, pulling, and core exercises. See the inner workings of each of the exercises with superb full-color illustrations that show the primary and secondary muscles and connective tissue being used. The detailed instructions for these multiplanar and unilateral exercises ensure you execute each one correctly and safely. The Functional Focus element shows how the exercises translate to specific activities, whether that be an explosive athletic move or simply moving a box. Functional Training Anatomy incorporates traditional and nontraditional exercises and mobility drills that will help you increase functional strength and reduce injury so your body is prepared to support the demands of athletic performance and daily living.

Michael Boyle, one of the world's leading sport performance coaches, presents the concepts, methods, exercises and programmes that maximise athletes' movements in competition. Self-reinforcing progressions in exercises for the lower body, core, upper body, and ultimately total body give athletes the balance, proprioception, stability, strength and power they require for excelling in their sports. Sample programmes assist in the customisation process and ensure each aspect of preparation for physical performance. New Functional Training for Sports goes beyond traditional exercise descriptions and explanations, incorporating full-colour, high-definition composites of foundational movements as well as online access to video demonstrations, commentary and analysis of key exercises.

For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In "Men's Health Book of Strength", this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players. The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture; training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective; compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books; and, no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Centre for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress.
