Fitness Motivation - Staying...

Zane Ryder

This book contains four titles related to fitness:
Fitness Motivation: Fitness motivation is a powerful driving force that pushes individuals to set goals, stay committed, and achieve their desired outcomes. It’s more than just a fleeting burst of enthusiasm – it’s a mindset, a lifestyle that can help you overcome obstacles and stay on track, even when the going gets tough. To truly harness the power of motivation, it’s important to first understand its role in the context of fitness.
The Ultimate Fitness Challenge: Fitness challenges are an exciting and empowering way to push the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. They offer a structured environment to test your limits and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting on your fitness journey, taking on a fitness challenge provides an opportunity to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of what your body and mind are truly capable of.
The Science of Muscle Growth: Muscle growth, also known as muscle hypertrophy, is a complex process influenced by various factors including exercise, nutrition, genetics, and recovery. Understanding how muscles grow is essential for anyone looking to enhance their physique or improve physical performance.
The Science of Speed: The human body consists of two primary types of muscle fibers: fast-twitch and slow-twitch. Sprinters predominantly utilize fast-twitch fibers, which generate rapid and powerful contractions but fatigue quickly. These fibers enable the quick acceleration and high-speed bursts necessary for short-distance races. Marathon runners, on the other hand, rely more on slow-twitch fibers, which are highly resistant to fatigue and support prolonged, steady-state activity.

Massive - The Miracle of Prague

Pete May

Charting West Ham's tumultuous 2022–23 season and epic triumph in the Europa Conference League final, this is the story of how the Hammers defied the odds to win their first trophy in forty-three years and first European trophy in fifty-eight years. After weathering misfiring signings, dissent among the fans and the near-sacking of David Moyes, the Irons eventually secured Premier League survival and found spectacular redemption in the Europa Conference League. They played fifteen games in Europe and were unbeaten. Captain Declan Rice ended his West Ham career by lifting a trophy, just like Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds before him. The outpouring of joy at the final whistle in Prague will never be forgotten by the club's fans, many of whom were too young to have seen their team win its last trophy. Packed with hilarious anecdotes and whimsical musings, this is West Ham's extraordinary 2022–23 season as told by superfan Pete May, who lived (and occasionally suffered) through every nail-biting moment and crucial game. Experience the goals, games and glory all over again in this witty and impassioned book – essential reading for any Hammers fan.

Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

Christie Green

Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
 
 
 
Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.
