The Warrior Diet

The Warrior Diet Review



Get potent and powerful - when you unleash the power of instinctual eating. The "Warrior Diet" presents a brilliant synthesis of modern scientific research and ancient time-tested secrets for reducing body fat, gaining energy, getting stronger and looking younger. Our problem, according to Ori Hofmekler, is that we have lost touch with the natural wisdom of our instinctual drives. We have become the slaves of our own creature comforts. The result: ill-advised eating and lifestyle habits that leave us vulnerable to all manner of disease - not to mention unwanted flab, premature wrinkling and a sagging, weak, unattractive body. The first step is to break the chains of our current eating habits. The "Warrior Diet" proves that humans are at their energetic, physical, mental and passionate best when they 'undereat' during the day and 'overeat' at night. Once you master this essential eating cycle, a new life of explosive vigour, good looks and vitality will be yours for the taking. Not just a diet, but a whole way of life, "Warrior Diet" encourages us to seize back the pleasures of being alive - from the most refined to the wild and raw. The "Warrior Diet" is practical, tested, and based on common-sense. Expect results!

Aerobic Exercise and Athletic Performance: Types, Duration and Health Benefits (Sports and Athletics Preparation, Performance, and Psychology Series)

Aerobic Exercise and Athletic Performance: Types, Duration and Health Benefits (Sports and Athletics Preparation, Performance, and Psychology Series) Review



Aerobic exercise refers to exercise that involves or improves oxygen consumption by the body. Aerobic means 'with oxygen', and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by definition are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time. To obtain the best results, an aerobic exercise session involves a warming up period, followed by at least 20 minutes of moderate to intense exercise involving large muscle groups, and a cooling down period at the end. This new and important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in the study of aerobic exercise and athletic performance with a focus on such topics as: the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise, physical exercise in Parkinson's disease, physical activity and women, aerobic exercise capacity and pulmonary function, aerobic exercise with chronic kidney disease, biomechanics of martial arts and combative sports, and others.

Access the Key to Becoming a Superior Fighter!

What essential quality do all champion fighters possess? Simple. They possess the attribute responsible for making all combat training applicable--speed.

Regardless of your combat style or method...you cannot apply it unless you can react quickly and respond instantly. Razor-sharp speed and reflexes are often the sole difference between winning and losing a physical confrontation.

Based on proven concepts of martial arts masters, such as Bruce Lee, this bestselling guide provides advanced training methods to maximize speed and power for combat and self-defense.

Learn The 7 Keys to Superior Fighting Speed...

1. Visual Reflexes: Exceptional visual reflexes allow you to recognize, track, distinguish, adapt to, and counter movements with precision and confidence.

2. Tactile Reflexes: Learn to instantly feel what the opponent is attempting to do by quickly interpreting the direction of his body force. Ninety-five percent of all fights end up in close range. Be prepared!

3. Auditory Reflexes: It is important to react quickly to what you hear. If you have ever experienced blind sparring, or fighting in the dark, you know the importance of this attribute.

4. Adaptation Speed: This component deals with your mind's ability to instantaneously select the perfect action in response to an attack or opening. Learn to respond quickly, accurately, and seemingly without thought.

5. Initiation Speed: It's not how fast you move, but how soon you get there that really counts. Train yourself to make your movements felt before they are seen.

6. Movement Speed: Movement speed is the ability to quickly transfer part or all of your body from one place to another. It is the speed that is most recognized by the public at large. Don't be concerned with "demonstration" speed. Focus on developing the "applied" speed that will help you overwhelm and subdue an opponent in seconds.

7. Alteration Speed: Learn to quickly change directions in the midst of movement. Through mastery of body mechanics, you can develop the ability to stop your movement instantly...just in case you initiate a wrong move.
