CORE PERFORMANCE

The handsome guy on the cover of this book is not Pete Williams but Mark Verstegen, owner of the Athletes’ Performance training center in Tempe, Arizona, and the trainer of some of the top champions in sports. In this book, Williams teamed up with Verstegen to show readers how they can apply the same training methods Verstegen uses with his pro athletes to achieve a lean, powerful, flexible physique that’s resistant to injury and long-term deterioration.

Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body and Your Life is the first workout program that delivers strength and muscle mass, balance and flexibility, athletic quickness, power and a lean body – all in less than an hour a day. A detailed nutrition section shows readers how to feed muscles, starve fat and produce boundless energy when they need it most.

Since the book’s publication in early 2004, Verstegen’s “Core” system and his revolutionary nutrition program have been adapted by many trainers and fitness centers. Unlike those who use “core” and “abs” synonymously, Verstegen shows how the core region (shoulders, midsection, and hips) is the key to optimum human performance and health. Check out the book that started a fitness revolution, now available in paperback.

“Mark’s great strength is his ability to take technical concepts and make them simple to understand. Many people get frustrated with new workout routines because they either don’t understand them or can’t feel the results. With the Core workout, you’ll understand what you’re doing, feel results quickly, and be eager to learn more.” -Mia Hamm, world-champion soccer player
