Georges Hébert

A modernized training guide, charted in thee 16-week periods as originally intended by Georges H bert, using equipment most commonly accessible today (barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells etc.) and easily implementable into a gym environment as well as outdoor training. Simple, effective and tested successfully for two years in this present iteration with beautifully captured moves illustrating how to perform the exercises, this Training Guide is the perfect addition to The Natural Method series.

A historical perspective on women's fitness, the representation of the body in art through the ages, as well as societal views "shaped" the perception and appreciation of the woman's body. In this book H bert discusses integral physical development and how it is achieved through the trifecta of health, strength and esthetic beauty. He breaks everything down through the analysis of various sections of the body, as well as references to Ancient Greece and warrior women, comparing the so-called civilized unhealthy societies vs natural, more primitive cultures not affected by certain fashions or trends.

Foundation for good movement is necessary. In this installment, H bert walks us through all the exercises relating to arm, leg, trunk, hopping, support, suspension and breathing, and later weaves the use of equipment into all those layers. A must for anyone, in any activity.

A complete, faithful in content as well as style, translation of H bert's Practical Guide to Physical Education's first part, on the explanation of the method, how to score, assess, baseline and conduct a model training session, with the original pictures and text as made available through existing manuscripts from over a century ago.
