Book excerpt: Tone up, burn calories, stay strong Weight Training For Dummies makes it easy to get started with weight training by offering trusted and straightforward guidance on the latest circuit and resistance training, and all-new information on the highly popular bodyweight and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Whether you're working with dumbbells, free weight sets, or machines, you'll find out how to combine weight training with other exercise to properly strength train and get in the best shape of your life. Along with aerobic exercise and flexibility, body weight training is an integral part of a complete physical activity program. But with all the different equipment and techniques available, getting started can feel overwhelming. Want to get pumped about weight training? Consider these facts: strength training, whether via free weights or a machine, builds muscle. And the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism and the less prone you are to injuries—in and out of the gym. Plus, strength training promotes bone strength, which can significantly reduce your odds of developing osteoporosis. If that's not enough, strength training—unlike cardio workouts like running—reaps benefits almost immediately. So what are you waiting for? Weight Training For Dummies has everything you need to get started. Provides examples and directions for powerful 20-minute weight training routines for the time challenged Features advice to help you choose a weight training system that you enjoy and that fits into your lifestyle Includes new coverage devoted to warm-ups and the hottest and most beneficial stretches Introduces using weight training to address specific health or orthopedic conditions Whether you're already in the gym several times a week or are just starting out with a fitness routine, Weight Training For Dummies shows you how to use free weights or weight machines to get results—fast.

The Miracle Ball Method is a proven, effective healing kit, including two balls and a fully illustrated book of exercises and techniques for pain and stress relief. The Method. This revolutionary program uses controlled breathing, two squishy balls, and simple exercises of rolling and rotating to heal everything from a bad knee to a stressed-out back. The key is to let gravity do all the work. The Balls. Take two—they're small. Made out of a durable, yielding, nontoxic PVC, the balls are sized to tuck under strategic parts of your body, including back, neck, head, knees, hip, and elbow. Like magnets, they draw out pain and tension. Elaine Petrone. After suffering a career-ending, potentially crippling injury to her back and right leg, a young dancer named Elaine Petrone turned to everyone from orthopedists to yogis to heal her injuries. Nothing worked—until she developed her own program of therapy. Elaine's simple program and the classes she teaches in the Miracle Ball Method have helped thousands of people conquer pain, stress, and injury.
