Ageless Strength

Zusatztext Praise for Books by Jeff Horowitz "A smart strength-training plan in which runners can learn how to strength their core and key running muscles." - Competitor magazine "?when I'm [running] 30! 40! 50 miles a week! the last thing I want to do is squats on legs that already feel like overcooked spaghetti?Jeff Horowitz has a solution. He's been a running coach for more than a decade and is the author of Quick Strength for Runners." - Philadelphia Inquirer "Running is a sport of imbalance. At no point are your feet hitting the ground at the same time. This imbalance creates an opportunity for injury. Our bodies have to be strong enough to handle the complex motion of running. If it's not! you won't be running too long? Trusting this program has me running stronger and faster and most importantly injury free." - Amplify Today "The exercise program is ideal for runners whose sole goal is running performance. Runners don't need to lift huge weights or practice resistance training five days per week. What they do need to is to develop a modest degree of well-balanced strength." - BreakingMuscle.com "We all know that strength training is important. I have always said that I should do more strength training! but it wasn't until I started trying this book that I really realized how much it can help me.  I started this book before I was back to running! and I believe without a shadow of a doubt that it has had a big impact on my running now.  I am stronger! recover easier and have less soreness overall." - LovingontheRun.com Informationen zum Autor Jeff Horowitz is a certified running, cycling, and triathlon coach and a personal trainer who has run more than 180 marathons and ultramarathons across six continents.

Klappentext Ageless Strength shows athletes and active people the three ways they can counteract the effects of aging to enjoy strength and fitness at any age and for any sport or pursuit. It’s a myth that advancing years only bring physical decline. Our bodies react the same way to training no matter how old you are. What changes is the need to focus your workouts on the right kinds of training that combat the effects of aging. After we cross into middle age, we are presented with three distinct physical challenges: loss of bone density, loss of muscle mass and strength, and loss of balance. Ageless Strength presents exercises that specifically target each of these challenges. Readers can easily follow the color-coded exercise routines or design their own strength program knowing that they are beating back the years.
