Product Description

Review
"This is one of the few texts that takes the reader from basic exercises to advanced resistance training. For that reason, it is recommended for all individuals involved in strength and conditioning at every level."
Dan Wathen
Youngstown State University


Product Description
Introducing the concept of back stability, this text reviews the biomechanics of the lumbar spine and stabilization mechanisms. It shows how to establish the foundational positions and movements for the stabilization programmes; the consequences of muscle imbalance and how to address that problem; how to build abdominal muscle strength; and how to diagnose and correct bad posture. It goes on to show how to build back fitness with weight training equipment, and provides many dynamic control exercises for going on to advanced rehabilitation and stability. The parts are pulled together in a back stability programme for each client, and the text goes on to show how to avoid back injury at home and at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have book for all fitness professionals, 16 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellent book for personal trainers and anyone with back problems. If you want to understand the spine and all the problems associated with it this is a very technical book which at times went completely over my head. I think more than one read is necessary! However the basis of the book and the exercises contained are first class. I would not want to be without it now as I refer to it constantly for advice and guidance on exercises for my personal training clients. A must have for the library as Chris Norris certainly knows his onions!
