Would you like to borrow some reference books on exercise physiology?
These texts cover strength and conditioning, stretching, metabolism, coaching, endurance and periodization. They’re difficult and expensive to source so I keep them available for any clients to read them as needed.
If you want to borrow any of the books on the list below, then just send me a message with the titles and I’ll bring them along to our next session!
