Soccer Fitness: a step by step guide on speed, endurance, flexibility and strength by Dylan Joseph
Offer of free printout of the most important things in this book.
Table of contents is included with a chapter on the most aspects of fitness when it comes to soccer training.
Dedication page and preface about the books in the series.
This book concentrates on speed and endurance, weight training and stretching and flexibility.
Although I am not a soccer player nor have kids in that area I find the fitness material very useful. I am a gardener where I need to stretch to achieve tending to the garden several times a week.
Love the bold print of the most import facts of the book where the rest of the paragraphs explain about the concept.
Love that the author has taken the time to go over other important things in ones life, BMI and exactly how to do resistance training. Being that I am now over 65 my doctor is concerned about the bone density so she has me doing weight training exercises.
This book explains to me how to do them correctly and which ones I should be doing for which muscles.
Some of the phrases used I am not familiar with but there is a glossary of terms at the end of the book to help explain it in further detail.
Illustrations along the way also show how to do some things to be sure you are doing them properly.
Love the examples of a day of inactive and more active days by the author and how he handles the intake of food to maintain his weight.
Love reference you can find online to determine your own BMI using other means of measurement to get a truer calculation.
Charts included on weight training off season and in season.
So detailed with what exercises to do X times a week and how many sets.
Never realized there are so many ways of stretching and what they mean.
Love the positivity chants in routine stretches, so cool!
Injuries and how to tend to them and recover from them, very helpful and useful information here!
Afterword and about the author are included at the end along with free offer of printout.
Glossary of terms is attached also. One of the books that will be on my table for many months to come as I glance through it from time to time during gardening season as I limber up before heading out.
Received a review copy from the author and htis is my honest opinion.
