The Complete Athlete
Integrating Fitness, Nutrition and Natural Health
The concept of an integrated approach to fitness, nutrition and natural health is not new, but having the material gathered together in a single book is. The Complete Athlete will encourage you to attain optimum performance by developing more than just sport-specific skills... a lot more. For authors John Winterdyk and Karen Jensen, the complete athlete is the ideal synthesis of diet, physical training, self-knowledge, mental discipline and sheer love of exercise.
Presented in lively and readable form, The Complete Athlete bridges the gulf between natural health and cross-training. Whether you are a recreational or an elite athlete, you will find all the information you will need to attain optimum performance, including:
• Developing a personalized training program based on your own abilities and goals
• Perfecting your swimming, running and cycling techniques
• Preparing nutritious, energy-boosting meals and snacks
• Preventing and treating injuries with herbs, homeopathy and other natural methods
• Reducing mental and physical stress, overcoming self-doubt and staying motivated |
