Synopsis

Do you long to get into exercising regularly but don't know how to start? Or are you keen to get back into it but worry whether you're fit enough? Or perhaps want to push on to higher levels? Whatever your fitness status, Your Personal Trainer guides new and experienced sports players alike through safe and effective ways to train, whether for football, hockey, running, tennis, golf, skiing, badminton or many others. Writing in easy-to-understand language, Kathy Fulcher and Pat Fox give advice on everything from assessing your own fitness, health and lifestyle to beginner's training in just about any sport you can think of and progressing, if you wish, to more advanced levels. Questionnaires and simple tests help you to see how the experts judge fitness or performance, and how you too can monitor your own progress. Always encouraging but never pushing you further than it is safe to go, this book is the essential guide to exercising safely. It also contains general information on sports terminology; the what?, how? and why? of training; nutrition for sports people and treating injuries. There are step-by-step illustrations of exercises and experts' tips boxes throughout.
