You work out and train hard. You know you can reach that next level of performance. But are you doing all that you can to get there? Adding absolute strength and power often creates muscle imbalances and mobility limitations that cause injuries and limit skill training. The Athletic Body in Balance DVD is the first of its kind to show how to identify and correct muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, and stability problems.

Great introduction into Movement Screening
This book is a good introduction or refresher for someone looking for examining movement. It is really a self-assessment with key component of the movement screen for those who have that background. I utilized this as a precursor to studying for the FMS myself. Which, it is really useful for looking at providing progression and/or regressions for yourself or your clients/patients.

Old School often means Old Injuries
I had bilateral hip replacements almost 20 years ago. The subsequent years were filled with self-rehabbing, martial arts practice, discus throwing, and strength training. Slowly attempting to build fitness on top of “new” hips and older injuries. The end result was that i waddles like a duck, couldn’t touch my toes and had so much pain in my shoulders that i couldn’t shave my face without discomfort. Now I won’t tell you that this single book helped me cure all of that, because it didn’t. But the movement screens in the book and the concept of asymetry opened my eyes and helped to bring all of my other training together into a program for future health, instead of just trying to compensate for past injury and a lack of professional rehab. If I was living in Mr. Cook’s hometown I would certainly be trying to take him to lunch and make him my new best friend.

Dr. Gray Cook Completely Changed How I look At Personal Training
Dr. Cook developed the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) system. Since I began reading his books and using his FMS system, I have completely changed my personal training paradigm. I have given up on single joint, seated, and lying exercises, as well as exercise machines, which do nothing to integrate the entire body through the core. I have gone to full-body functional training which demands core activation and stabilization, and balance.I think that if you read this book you will understand why I changed my training. Dr. Cook does a great job of explaining why we need movement-based exercises as opposed to muscle-isolating exercises. This book is one of his early works, written before he completed work on the FMS, but all of his basic ideas that went into the FMS are here.

Four Stars
Watching the exercise demonstrations was really valuable. I just wish the DVD wasn’t so expensive.

Game Changer in understanding Mobility and Stability-and Improving it!
Game changing book, written for laypeople to understand their own mobility and stability issues.The beauty of this book is that it provides a self assessment test that anyone can do, and after this, exercises/stretches to correct weaknesses, improve flexibility and stability, and build from there. I’ve been using his methods for 4 weeks, and when done in the thoughtful, deliberate manner he recommends, it works. Figure that wherever you are presently-you didn’t get there overnight-so, no surprise, time and correct effort and mental thought are the keys to getting better.Gray’s talk at Google, which is on YT is worth a listen.

The Fundamentals of Fitness
This book sets the baseline for how to train properly. Many of us have been looking at fitness backwards by building upon one’s strengths. Gray Cook teaches us to look at our weaknesses and correct the weakest of the weak, in order. By doing this, can we truly become strong. By doing this, our bodies will become balanced. Thus in turn, we can improve everything within our sports and our lives. A classic!

Gray Cook vermittelt ein ganzheitliches Analysesystem für Bewegung/Fitness. Er fundiert dieses System auf einem qualitativen Bewertungsmodell (alle bisherigen Modelle sind rein quantitativ) und beschreibt die Wechselwirkungen zwischen alltäglichen bzw. Grundbewegungen und komplexen oder sich immer wiederholenden Bewegungen und den daraus resultierenden Problemen. Sein Screentest bietet jedem Sportler (und erst recht jedem Physiotherapeuten oder Trainer) die Möglichkeit, einen qualitativen Test des Körperzustandes zu machen und darauf sein Training /Therapieplan zu stützen.Weitab jeder Fitness- (Minibodybuilding) anleitung, sondern ein guter Wegweiser, um seine Schwächen zu erkennen und diese zu beheben.Für alle, die langfristig Spaà an Bewegung haben wollen.
