Core Performance Essentials: The Revolutionary Nutrition and Exercise Plan Adapted for Everyday Use

Most people today are familiar with the importance of core fitness, and Mark Verstegen played a large role in bringing it to the forefront of workout programs everywhere. Drawing upon the success of his first title, Core Performance, but recognizing that many readers want a more streamlined workout, Verstegen has created a simpler yet highly effective program to create a lean, agile, powerful physique that's resistant to injury and the ravages of age.

Core Performance Essentials boils down fitness essentials into a quick, easy-to-follow routine that requires minimal equipment and can be done in a hotel room, family room-even an office. It offers the benefits of yoga-with exercises designed to improve flexibility, joint stability, and balance-yet it also demonstrates easy, necessary strength moves using just body weight.

Featuring nutrition and lifestyle tips, this book will help readers have more energy and more time to thrive in their different roles all day, every day. This accessible exercise and diet program-perfect for those who haven't exercised in years as well as for anyone who wants a more streamlined workout-takes the same principles Verstegen uses to train elite athletes to thrive in sports, to help readers succeed in what he calls "the game of life."

MARK VERSTEGEN, who has designed workout programs for people from all walks of life, is the owner of Athletes' Performance in Tempe, Arizona, a training facility that hosts world-class athletes in virtually every major sport.
