As you put the pieces of your health puzzle together, you're going to need a great team; I'm glad to have Geoff Dakin on mine! This book can put him on yours!" - Dr. Jeffrey Scholten BSc, DC, DCCJP, FCCJP. Clinic Director - The Vital Posture (TM) Clinic, President - NUCCA; Board Member - ICA-CUCC, UCRF & RRGMF(C), Calgary AB Canada "In the 90's we lived in the same community and Geoff always did great work with my patients who were in pain. His unique brand of exercise therapy is excellent. It's great to see someone who gets satisfaction out of helping the most difficult cases. The best reference for Geoff''s work came from my patients who returned from his office with improvement in their pain when others had been unable to achieve the same results." - Dr. Mike Orth BSc. CCFP (EM). Edmonton AB Canada "I regularly collaborate with Geoff on complex cases and I have seen everything from chronic hip and low back pain to knee and Achilles heel pain problems resolve in patients who have used this protocol. The Body Mechanic's Handbook is a veritable road map for low back pain sufferers looking to regain health and wellbeing." - Dr. Jordan Ausmus DC. Calgary AB Canada "I was in a bad car vs bicycle accident and immobile for 3 months. Half of my body was working overtime to compensate for my other-sided weakness. Even though I broke my left hip, for a while my right knee hurt worse from overuse and improper use. While on vacation in Canada I saw Geoff once in his office. I felt great following the stretches and manipulations. He has magic hands, but it truly was his Alignment First Protocol that I took with me that brought me lasting relief. It is an incredible system that I would recommend to anyone." - Dr. Brian Newell MD. Cleveland OH USA

Download or read book Body Mechanics Beginner s Guide to Fitness written by Mark R. Hailey and published by Visionary Magic Design. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, the thought of getting into shape –– or just the act of exercising for that matter –– is like throwing a speeding locomotive into reverse. An enormous amount of energy has to come to a loud, grinding halt in a short period of time, and then slowly begin to move in the opposite direction. Getting into shape, biologically, is a relatively easy process; the hard part, more often than not, is simply getting started. Being physically fit takes commitment, discipline, concentration, and an overall desire to succeed. Making the commitment to physical fitness, in many ways, presents a greater challenge than the weights and workout routines that will follow; and in the beginning, many people make the mistake of training too hard and too fast, causing soreness, frustration, and discouragement. Walking blindly into a gym and grabbing a piece of equipment in the hopes that something will happen will never work. To achieve your fitness goals, you need to plan your work –– and work your plan. Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness helps you create that plan, by helping you understand your body, and the changes beginning an exercise program will play upon it. Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness covers the importance of making a commitment to exercise, and what results you can expect in the first month. How to keep up your motivation, and develop a fitness program that is right for you. Understanding the importance of weight training and cardiovascular training –– and how to get the maximum benefits of both. Knowing the muscles in the human body and detailed instructions on performing different exercises to work each one; employing proper form to achieve maximum results. Changing one’s lifestyle is never easy, especially when food, schedules, and physical exertion are involved. Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness helps ease you into the world of physical fitness. Taking your new exercise program one step at a time helps to condition your body to respond positively to the exciting changes that will come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is a modern, concise and focused treatment of the mathematical techniques, physical theories and applications of rigid body mechanics, bridging the gap between the geometric and more classical approaches to the topic. It emphasizes the fundamentals of the subject, stresses the importance of notation, integrates the modern geometric view of mechanics and offers a wide variety of examples -- ranging from molecular dynamics to mechanics of robots and planetary rotational dynamics. The author has unified his presentation such that applied mathematicians, mechanical and astro-aerodynamical engineers, physicists, computer scientists and astronomers can all meet the subject on common ground, despite their diverse applications. * Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de/supplements/
