Fitness trainer to a host of busy people including actors, TV presenters and politicians, Jon Denoris has created a series of exercises and routines, most of which can be carried out almost anywhere: in the home, at work or outdoors. Hardly any of them require any equipment. Dumbbells and a medicine ball will come in useful for a few of the exercises, and also a stability ball, but that is all. So the exercises can even be done on holiday and can be adapted to work with stand-in equipment. Hence the title The Pop-up Gym: a fitness programme you can take with you wherever you go. An easy-to-use, stylish package for people who want to be fit with the minimum of fuss. Suitable for readers who don't have time to go to a gym, don't want to spend a lot of money on equipment and have limited time.

The Spinning Bar, or reflex trainer is a fantastic training tool for developing your fighting skills. It is also one of the only solo training tools that can hit you back! Variations of the spinning bar have been sold commercially for some time now, but there are very few sources available on how to properly use one for training. In this book, the author, Chuck Callaway provides you with a straightforward system to incorporate the spinning bar into your martial arts, boxing, or fitness routine. Topics covered include getting started, parts of the spinning bar, variations, the three primary methods of moving the spinning bar, the snapping motion with practical application, safety considerations, visualization, twenty exercises for the spinning bar, rolling with application, mixing up your training, developing free flow on the spinning bar, methods of working out, weapons training on the spinning bar, and more. With hundreds of photographs, this book will provide you with a proven path to improve your reflexes, speed, timing, fitness, and fighting skills on the spinning bar. The spinning bar is unforgiving, and it requires you to react quickly to avoid being hit. This adds an element of realism to your training that is hard to duplicate with other training devices such as the heavy bag, speed bag, or wooden dummy. This is precisely why it is so valuable for the person who has no choice but to train alone.

Первое, что должен сделать человек, попавший в беду, — это постараться успокоиться и здраво оценить обстановку. Многочисленные случаи показывают, что очень часто наибольшую угрозу для потерпевших представляет не само происшествие, а его ближайшие и отдаленные последствия, запрограммированные неправильными действиями самих потерпевших. Даже самые быстрые, но бездумные действия и поступки могут не только не облегчить, но и усугубить создавшееся положение. Например, люди, попавшие в лавину и чудом выбравшиеся из снега, суетой и шумом могут вызвать еще большую лавину. Паническое бегство из очага лесного пожара может спровоцировать травмы и, как следствие снижение двигательной активности. Очень важно в момент аварии изжить чувство страха, оценить ситуацию, наметить наиболее безопасную линию поведения.
