Book SynopsisEvolutionary Lifestyle Fitness Strategies for All #1 New Release in Physical Education and Stretching Exercise & FitnessAdaptive Training explores an alternate perspective on health and fitness focusing on how we are a product of the environment. So change your surroundings to maximize your health and fitness beyond the gym.Explore your amazingly adaptable body. Tight hip flexors, rounded shoulders and a hunched back are all products of our daily lifestyles. We are adaptoids; our bodies are designed to adapt to our surroundings, and understanding this is the key to unlocking perfect performance. Adaptive Training takes you through the fundamentals of understanding adaptive training while providing a detailed physical fitness program to help you build an environment that facilitates a healthy and empowering new lifestyle fitness journey with new lifestyle fitness equipment.Unlock your true potential. The best way to learn a language is through immersion, and the same is true for developing and maintaining a new lifestyle fitness. A few hours a week training at the gym or elsewhere is great, but what if your environment outside of the gym is also challenging your body? You will see results that are only possible through the innovative fitness method called “Adam” which stands for Adaptive Immersion Training. Change your environment with intent, and your body will adapt with amazing results.Inside, you’ll learn: How the environment shapes your body to be adaptive How and why you should divide training throughout the day The missing fundamentals of human movement and lifestyle fitness equipment If you liked Built from Broken, The Comfort Crisis, or What Doesn’t Kill You, you’ll love Adaptive Training.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Your Amazing, Adaptable Body This will be a motivational section that discusses the amazing human body but specifically its ability to adapt and change. Chapter 2: How The Things You Do Everyday Shape Your Health and Fitness This will demonstrate that your job/hobbies/lifestyle are more instrumental in shaping your physique than an hour spent in the gym. It will thus discuss Chapter 3: Train Outdoors! This post will explain the HUGE and immediate benefits of moving your training outside. Simple example: every pull up from a tree branch is different from the last, engaging the grip differently, altering the heights of the hands, etc. etc. This chapter will also discuss the practicalities of such training (how to manage progressive overload, where to do it, what to do if it rains), plus the risk of training ONLY in chaotic environments and how to marry the benefits of both types of training. Chapter 4: The Missing Fundamentals of Human Movement Our modern lifestyles introduce a number of issues and rob us of some basic abilities: pelvis control, spine mobility, shoulder mobility, core strength, scapula control, straight-arm strength. This post will explore the precise missing attributes in the context of the ATSP hierarchy discussed in the previous book. Chapter 5: “SuperExercises” This chapter will introduce exercises specifically intended to remedy the above problem. The term “SuperExercise” is inspired by “SuperFood.” The idea is that these exercises either provide multiple benefits in one go, or they address a missing fundamental. Chapter 6: Don’t Let the Environment Change You: Change the Environment This chapter starts with a more in-depth exploration of the idea of the “Adaptation Facilitation Machine.” This is a building designed to challenge the body as we move through it. It’s only theoretical, but a fun thought experiment. It will then discuss ways you can make an existing environment more stimulating and challenging (standing desks as a very obvious example). It then concludes that “intent” and “habits” are more important – your relationship with the environment. It will thus suggest a number of ways to train incidentally. Chapter 7: Splitting Your Workouts This chapter discusses the benefits of splitting workouts up throughout the day: this can increase energy and mood, encourage muscle growth, and massively improve performance. It’s also more convenient for a lot of people. Chapter 8: An Active Brain This chapter applies many of the previously discussed concepts to brain training. Chapter 9: A Program This chapter offers a program based on the SuperExercises and splitting workouts into lots of smaller parts. One of the biggest criticisms of the previous book was the lack of an actual program – this should address that! Chapter 10: You Are Information A little indulgence! An alternative way to look at the body and its relationship with the environment.

Book Synopsis''The most honest, most revealing - and funniest - exploration of male mental health I have ever read'' Adam Kay''Matt Rudd may have written the most important book in a generation'' Idle SocietyOn the surface, men today don''t have much to complain about. At work, they still get paid more than women for doing the same jobs. At home, they still shirk most of the unpaid labour. Putting the bins out does not count.Beneath the surface, it''s a different story. An alarming number of men end up anxious, exhausted, depressed - and very reluctant to admit they are. Even if they do everything that''s expected of them in work, life and fatherhood, genuine happiness is still elusive.

Book Synopsis''An honest, funny account of how we''re all capable of changing for the better'' SETH MEYERS''A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it'' SHAUN RYDERSam Delaney was Jack the Lad. He was confident, loud and funny; an absolute legend, to be honest. Or at least that was what he pretended to be.But when he reached his thirties, work, relationships and fatherhood started to take their toll. Like so many blokes who seemed to be totally fine, he often felt like a complete failure whose life was out of control; anxiety and depression had secretly plagued him for years.

Book Synopsis"You're just being greedy.""Are you sure you're not gay?""Pick a side."Being a bisexual man isn't easy - something Vaneet Mehta knows all too well. After spending more than a decade figuring out his identity, Vaneet's coming out was met with questioning, ridicule and erasure. This experience inspired Vaneet to create the viral #BisexualMenExist campaign, combatting the hate and scepticism m-spec (multi-gender attracted spectrum) men encounter, and helping others who felt similarly alone and trapped. This powerful book is an extension of that fight. Navigating a range of topics, including coming out, dating, relationships and health, Vaneet shares his own lived experience as well as personal stories from others in the community to help validate and uplift other bisexual men. Discussing the treatment of m-spec men in LGBTQ+ places, breaking down stereotypes and highlighting the importance of representation and education, this empowering book is a rallying call for m-spec men everywhere.Trade ReviewWhen it comes to promoting bisexual visibility and championing m-spec causes, Vaneet is absolutely relentless-and I say this with the utmost respect. He has made it his life's mission to advocate for people attracted to multiple genders, and does so in Bisexual Men Exist through a researched, educational, intersectional, and inclusive lens. -- Zachary Zane, bisexual sex columnist and author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto.In this book, Vaneet Mehta has created an important resource for m-spec men. Through data, interviews, and personal accounts, he describes how institutional m-spec phobia reflects in the personal lives of m-spec men, and offers practical advice on navigating these issues. Of particular importance are the parts in the book dedicated to sexual violence against m-spec men, m-spec men's health, and the intersections in the lives of m-spec men of color, trans, and asexual m-spec men. Whether you're an m-spec man looking for support or an ally looking to learn more, this book has much to offer. -- Shiri Eisner, bisexual activist and author of Bi: Notes for a Bisexual RevolutionAn accessible encyclopaedia of bi+ issues, this important book amplifies the voices and experiences of those on the multi-gender attracted spectrum who are too often overlooked or erased.Perfect for anyone who wants to learn the language of bi+ community and scholarship, and concepts that can help them navigate their own sexual identities. -- Dr Julia Shaw, author of “Bi: The hidden culture, history, and science of bisexualityA beautiful, insightful book. Extremely well researched and packed with up to date information, it provides a thorough overview of how it is to be multi-gender attracted today. This is brought to life through a rich range of experiences shared by the author himself, and by the people he spoke with, attending carefully to intersecting identities such as race, disability and transness. Vaneet Mehta is exactly the supportive friend you need to guide you through questions of coming out, forming relationships, finding community, and much more. -- Meg-John Barker, co-author of How To Understand Your Sexuality and Life Isn’t BinaryThe book I wish I had read when I was beginning to recognize my own bisexuality.

Book Synopsis''An honest, funny account of how we''re all capable of changing for the better'' SETH MEYERS''A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it'' SHAUN RYDERSam Delaney was Jack the Lad. He was confident, loud and funny; an absolute legend, to be honest. Or at least that was what he pretended to be.But when he reached his thirties, work, relationships and fatherhood started to take their toll. Like so many blokes who seemed to be totally fine, he often felt like a complete failure whose life was out of control; anxiety and depression had secretly plagued him for years. Turning to drink and drugs only made things worse. Sam knew he needed help - the problem was that he thought self-help was for hippies, sobriety was for weirdos and therapy was for neurotics.Keeping it all inside was what nearly dragged Sam under. Then he began to open up and share his story with others. Soon his life sTrade ReviewThis is a great book, and an important one.

Book SynopsisWith a foreword from acclaimed psychologist, Dr Elaine Aron, comes a timely and invaluable book that will help redefine masculinity and reveal how high sensitivity can enrich men's lives, their communities, and the lives of those who love them.Highly sensitive people think deeply, empathize instinctively, and behave in an ethical way that benefits everyone. Today, with the negative effects of toxic masculinity' and aggressive behaviour in evidence all around us, we need highly sensitive people especially men more than ever. Yet for men, being highly sensitive brings distinct challenges, such as gender stereotypes that portray them as too emotional or not manly' enough.Cognitive behavioural psychotherapist Tom Falkenstein offers the first psychological guide that specifically addresses highly sensitive men and those who care about them, and explores the unique advantages and obstacles they face. Drawing from his training with pioneer in the field Dr. Elaine Aron, and his own ground-brTrade Review‘This book not only shows why highly sensitive men are particularly suffering in the current masculinity crisis, but also why they have exactly the right qualities to turn this crisis into an opportunity. It’s an important book that relieves the pressure of being a highly sensitive man and offers practical tools to the reader. Thank you Tom Falkenstein’ – Georg Parlow, author of Highly Sensitive ‘Tom Falkenstein’s book is characterised by a clear, precise and practical style. It’s a unique and encouraging book for all of those men who want to understand and use their sensitive temperament better’ – Brigitte Schorr, author of Highly Sensitive in Relationships ‘High sensitivity is a fascinating and increasingly popular topic. Tom Falkenstein’s book about highly sensitive men is an important addition to this relatively new field. The scientific foundation and the countless practical tips and techniques that this book offers will help men and women to understand their high sensitivity better and to live well with it’ – Dr Michael Pluess, Queen Mary University of London ‘Finally! A professionally grounded and thoroughly researched book specifically for highly sensitive men. The book engages deeply with masculinity and sensitivity and will help to strengthen the self-worth of 2 highly sensitive men who feel insecure. The book powerfully motivates men to accept and use their sensitivity well. It’s an important addition to the empowerment of highly sensitive men’ – Ulrike Hensel, author of Understanding and Appreciating High Sensitivity ‘It’s a breath of fresh air in the midst of a cultural determination to reduce toxic masculinity. This book is a balm, a movement, and a revelation… The integrating of the knowledge in this book would allow for a complete cultural sea change around what it is to be a man.’ – Alanis Morissette, singer and songwriter

Book SynopsisIf muscle growth seems nonexistent, but you don’t have time to spend more hours in the gym each day, don’t give up. There is a better way. Featuring a revolutionary approach to male physique transformation, Elite Physique: The New Science of Building a Better Body offers a fresh approach to body sculpting. Based on scientifically proven strategies for making workouts more effective, Elite Physique features over 100 exercises and 50 exercise videos for men seeking training programs designed to build muscle, burn fat, or target those problem areas that are slower to respond to training. Written by Dr. Chad Waterbury, a physical therapist who understands how bodies change with age, Elite Physique shows you how to make radical physical changes by manipulating sets, reps, and frequency and by deciding when and how to use advanced training methods. You’ll start by performing an honest physical assessment to establish a starting point and more accurately gauge your progress. As you move into exercises for the lower body and upper body, you'll find tips on altering exercises to alleviate stress on primary joints like the shoulders, elbows, wrists, lower back, hips, and knees. Video clips offer demonstrations of many of the exercises, highlighting proper technique and common mistakes. You’ll learn the finer points of sculpting the midsection and will be able to create programs to target a lagging body part, either as an add-on to full-body training or as a stand-alone high-frequency training plan. Waterbury also includes advice on how to make staple lifts such as squats, deadlifts, and presses more joint friendly for older, more physically battered lifters. He breaks down how training must change as you age—with a program for a 20-year-old looking different than one for a 50-year-old—to safely pursue your goal of a lean, muscular physique. Designed for men looking for the most effective approach to ignite their physique transformation, Elite Physique is a go-to resource.Note: A code for accessing the online video is included with all new print books.Trade Review“Dr. Chad Waterbury has created something truly remarkable here.
