Calisthenics and mobility training have been proven to develop strength and agility without the risk of injury, and with the tips, advice, and exercises provided in this book, anyone can become strong and supple! This practice-oriented guide goes far beyond the dry technical literature on proper strength training. The authors have combined the best strength-training methods with modern mobility training, meaning you will become strong through pull-ups, push-ups, and dips while remaining supple with active stretching. With mobility training, there will be no need for painful foam-rolling or dull stretching exercises. Instead, you will focus on movement and range of motion. Better mobility means more strength, and combining these two aspects of training will lead to the best and fittest version of yourself. Written by Germany's first female calisthenics coach, Monique König, and mobility expert and founder of Moving Monkey®, Leon Staege, Calisthenics & Mobility provides the best instruction for redefining the body and shows how everyone can become agile and strong with simple and effective training principles.

From an elite Special Operations physical trainer, an ingeniously simple, rapid-results, do-anywhere program for getting into amazing shape For men and women of all athletic abilities! As the demand for Special Operations military forces has grown over the last decade, elite trainer Mark Lauren has been at the front lines of preparing nearly one thousand soldiers, getting them lean and strong in record time. Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen—simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before. Armed with Mark Lauren’s motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you’ll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week—whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren’s exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level—Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class—and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles.
