Foundation


Book Description

A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas. Foundation offers something completely different for novices and athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park, one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses. Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher, world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.

True to Form


Book Description

Foreword by Chris Hemsworth A proven program that teaches you how to harness the body’s natural movement patterns in daily activities to get fit, healthy, and pain-free for life Hunching over a keyboard, commuting long hours, slouching on the couch—poor postures resulting from our sedentary lifestyle have thrown our bodies out of balance, causing unnecessary stress and strain that compromise our joints, restrict organ function, and weaken our muscles. Dr. Eric Goodman has spent years studying human physiology and movement. He’s helped people of all ages and occupations heal and correct lifelong debilitating pain with his revolutionary Foundation Training, a practical program that targets the posterior chain muscles—shoulders, back, butt, and legs—shifting the burden of support to where it belongs: the large muscle groups. Foundation Training is simple: no gyms, no specialized equipment, no complicated stretches. It’s a series of powerful movements you can integrate successfully into everyday life—from playing with the kids to washing dishes to long hours in the office—transforming ordinary physical actions into active and mindful movements that help to eliminate pain, boost your energy, and strengthen your body. By harnessing the body’s natural movement patterns, you can be fit, healthy, and pain-free for good.
