‘Physical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle’ – Advice from a Family Physician
Israeli author Michael Herling was a major in the Israeli Defense Forces and became a Family Physician with subspecialties in acupuncture, energy medicine, functional medicine and palliative care. He also is a martial arts expert (black belts in both karate and Kaza Arashi Ryu), teaches Qigong, and surfs both wind and wave! SUPER EXERCISE TRAINING is his first book and is translated from the Hebrew by Yonatan Boxman.
The title of this book – Super Exercise Training or SET - is Dr Herling’s technique of approaching fitness training. His in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology and holistic medicine brings him to share that ‘Physical activity is not just a bunch of exercises done twice a week but rather a complex tool that can assist us in being as healthy, strong and happy as possible.’ He includes anti-aging exercises, exercises for specific diseases, healthy breathing – ‘Super-exercise training is all about optimization. Finding the way to slowly develop excellent fitness through daily simple, short, easy, safe, intuitive and wise movement…SET gives everyone the immediate opportunity to adopt a comprehensive movement system for life...SET has a theoretical and a philosophical side…’
In a well-informed manner Dr. Herling presents insights into the various types of physical movement, the principles of his SET model, and then demonstrates his recommendations of exercises for every type of movement, wise comments on the way movement care progresses into the senior years, the multiple applications of exercise for various disease or health states, the mental aspects of movements, an the dangers inherent in the sedentary lifestyle (‘this triad – chair, table, computer –is quite simply killing us!)’. The exercise portions are illustrated with photographs of the author performing the various movements and exercises. This guide provides not only a superb resource of exercises to follow: it also presents the scientific and medical information to support all of the instructions. Very highly recommended.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
