Description

If You Like Exercise... Chances Are You're Doing It Wrong Proper Strength Training for Maximum Results by Gary Bannister The value of muscle isolation and machine-based training has been largely discredited, and the field of exercise is in need of a clear definition of what is true and what is not. Gary Bannister argues that until this is achieved, the impact of exercise will be limited. In this study and guide, Bannister examines current training systems such as Pilates, TRX, cross-training, and kettlebells, and compares their benefits to those of proper strength training. Proper strength training, with its focus on intensity, form, frequency, duration, and muscle fatigue, is shown to be the only system capable of delivering all five potential benefits of exercise: increased strength, flexibility, cardiovascular condition, body-composition, and injury prevention. By applying these principles, individuals can achieve optimal results and reap the full benefits of exercise.
