Athletic Body in Balance

Noted physical therapist and strength coach Gray Cook has written Athletic Body in Balance, the first guide of its kind that shows how to train for smooth, fluid movement, while preventing muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, stability problems and injuries.

Cook's methods will help identify functional weaknesses, correct imbalances and refine sport-specific movement skills such as jumping, kicking, cutting and turning. Cook's book focuses on exposing and overcoming your weaknesses to form a foundation for long-term training gains.

The book, published by Human Kinetics, is available for $19.95 (shipping not included) and can be purchased by visiting www.humankinetics.com or by calling 1-800-747-4457.
