From the Publisher:

Fusion Fitness is a regime that combines the cardiovascular benefits of an aerobic workout with the mental discipline and physical grace of eight different martial arts. For example, the high kicks from Tae Kwon Do provide a high–energy workout for the heart and lungs, the slow and precise moves of Kung Fu tone muscles for strength and endurance, and a Ju–Jitsu–inspired routine with floor–based exercises targets the core stability muscles to encourage deep breathing and improve circulation. In keeping with the holistic wisdom behind these traditions, the book includes techniques for relaxation, self–massage, and preventing and healing sports–related injuries. Anne–Marie Millard is fitness Editor for WOMEN’S HEALTH magazine and writes a monthly column for NEW WOMAN.
