The Ballecorea(r) Workout by Molly Weeks - Free Downloads PDF
BalleCore is unique in that it combines three tried-and-true disciplines into one optimal workout.. Pilates strengthens and stretches the major muscles,, activates your core (the band of muscles below your chest), and energizes your body. Hatha yoga helps quiet the mind through breath, fortifies the nervous system, builds stamina, and produces mental equilibrium. Ballet increases blood flow, develops poise, promotes good posture, and improves balance.
Fitness dynamo and faculty member of the Boston Ballet for the past seven years, Molly Weeks is the woman behind BalleCore.. She has chosen an array of effective exercises from each of these three disciplines to create a fulfilling workout that can easily be done in your own home "and" in under an hour. The results?
- Reduce backaches and stress
- Develop stature, support the spine, and feel steady on your feet
- Sculpt your arms, legs, hips, and core-and look trimmer than ever
- Loosen those tight spots in the shoulders, neck, and joints
- Gain an incredible sense of ease throughout your body
- Experience inner calm, self-confidence, and renewed optimism
With step-by-step instructions and profusely illustrated with helpful photographs, "The BalleCore Workout(R) "is the ultimate path to good health, longevity, and mind/body wellness. Remember: 50 minutes a day can change your life!

The Fit Back by  - Free Downloads PDF
Aack is strong and resilient, capable of absorbing a multitude of shocks every day and of supporting loads far greater than your body weight. In well-trained athletes, a single disc in the lower back has been shown to bear loads in excess of 1,000 kilograms. Yet eight out of 10 people, including those who are generally fit, experience some type of back pain during their lives. Back problems rank second only to the common cold as the most frequent cause of sick leave in the United Kingdom and Europe, where the cost of back treatment runs into millions of pounds each year. Much of this suffering and expense is avoidable. The great majority of all backaches stem from muscular problems that can either be prevented or alleviated with improvements in posture and exercise and other lifestyle habits. Indeed, exercising regularly is the most important step that you can take to protect your back. This book explains back mechanics and guides you towards effective ways in which to ease a troubled back or keep a fit back at its best. This title is part of a series which provides a complete fitness programme devised to meet individual needs and goals. Whether your aim is to increase your stamina and strength, set and control your weight, improve your flexibility or reduce stress, this series covers the techniques you`ll need to maximise your body`s potential. Delicious, wholesome recipes complement the exercise and relaxation routines.
