Great athletes make difficult moves look effortless with a combination of skill, strength, and balance. Traditional conditioning builds a fitness base, but modern sports training takes into account athletic movement patterns. Athletic Body in Balance is the first guide of its kind to show you how to train for smooth, fluid movement and prevent muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, stability problems, and injuries. Physical therapist and sports conditioning expert Gray Cook has proven the effectiveness of his approach through the performances of athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, WNBA, and Reebok® University's sports training system. Cook's methods will help you identify functional weaknesses; correct imbalances; explore your potential; and refine sport-specific movement skills such as jumping, kicking, cutting, and turning. You will see where conditioning is breaking down and how to get your body back on track. Whereas other books concentrate on maximizing your strengths, Athletic Body in Balance focuses on exposing and overcoming your weaknesses to form a foundation for long-term training gains. Learn how to maintain what you gain and build on your improvements. Make this comprehensive assessment tool your training guide. Prepare and repair your body for ultimate athletic performance with Athletic Body in Balance.

Throughout world history the club has been utilized not only for combat but also for health restoration and strength development. Records of club use date as far back as ancient Egypt, with the practice reaching its peak at the end of the 19th century. Scott Sonnon, creator of the patented Clubbell®, has resurrected this ancient discipline through his own extensive research, experimentation, and personal practice. He has successfully integrated, evolved, and refined the club into one of the most "simply sophisticated" exercise approaches ever created -- the Circular Strength Training® (CST) System. Going far beyond the limited practice of old-style "Indian Clubs," the CST system contains a collection of nearly 100 proprietary Clubbell® Training Exercises. As part of this fitness movement, Coach Sonnon also created International Clubbell® Sport, which has attracted athletes from around the globe. Clubbell® Training provides a unique blend of functional, full-range, three-dimensional muscular development that stands in stark contrast to the problematic limitations of conventional two-dimensional linear training. Practicing this system revitalizes, reenergizes and reorganizes every unused and overabused cell in your body from head to toe, core to periphery, and bones to skin. Benefits of Clubbell® Training include increased metabolism for a day-long fat burn, the breakup of restrictive adhesions and calcium deposits around the joints, the release of bound tension, the generation of tremendous energy and vitality, increased bone density, and injury prevention. CST training promotes significant gains in strength, power, stamina, endurance, and general health and longevity. It is the most fun that one can possibly have exercising!
