121 WAYS TO LIVE 121 YEARS...AND MORE!
Prescriptions for Longevity
Ronald Klatz & Robert Goldman

Nobody wants to get old. And why would they? The aging process eventually affects every one of our body systems - from mental function and sexual performance to physical appearance ability and strength. But chronological age has little to do with a person's biological age. Some people are old at fifty while others are still sharp and spry at ninety. Today's scientists know quite a bit about what causes a person to grow old. The things we've always considered normal aging are actually caused by physiological problems that in many cases respond to medical treatment and healthy lifestyle habits. As a result the human life span can be significantly increased while maintaining or even improving the quality of life! This contemporary approach to aging - known as anti-aging medicine - is a clinical specialty practised by more than 30000 physicians worldwide. It applies advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection prevention treatment and reversal of age-related dysfunction disorders and diseases. In the near future we can all look forward to a future of boundless health and vitality by implementing anti-aging approaches to help us feel look and perform better today. Readers can start by enjoying 121 WAYS TO LIVE 121 YEARS…AND MORE! - a handbook for living a long and healthy life.

ABS ON THE BALL £15.99
ABS ON THE BALL
A Pilates Approach to Building Superb Abdominals
Colleen Craig

The exercise ball has long been recommended by doctors physical therapists and Olympic coaches for people suffering from back pain. Now Colleen Craig author of the best selling book and video Pilates on the Ball reveals why the exercise ball also is a tool that has no match for building superb abdominal strength. She presents a selection of over 50 innovative exercises including some of the key powerhouse-builders from the Pilate's Method all of which she has adapted specifically to the ball. Craig shows how traditional sit-ups and ab machines actually limit the degree to which abdominal muscles can be trained and can even aggravate lower back pain and neck tension. In contrast the very mobility of the ball targets sleepy muscles recruiting both deep as well as the superficial abdominal muscle fibres to enhance both performance and results. ABS ON THE BALL includes exercises for all ability levels. It shows how to breathe properly and how to activate the correct muscles during a workout-from the core exercises of the Waterfall Oblique Twist and Full Abdominal Curls to the more advance Full Rollup Shoulder Bridges and Backwards Crunch. The author also offers a 10- and a 20- minute workout designed not only to build the abdominal core but also to strengthen and train deep muscles in the back and hip in order to soothe lower back pain and increase overall body strength balance and co-ordination.
