Physical Intelligence - Day 20

Time to start exploring exercises, strength training and form. To begin this I got an interesting book called Encyclopedia of Exercise Anatomy.  It is a really interesting book in that it provides pictures of exercise positions and also provides anatomical representations of that form. e.g.

"You don't stop exercising because you get old, you get old because you stop exercising"

Hollace, Lance, Liebman from Encyclopedia of Exercise Anatomy

I thought that was a neat quote or at least neat off to log it as a part of my physical intelligence learning.  It's neatly coloured sections reminded me of my school days using the SRA Reading system.  The tabs obviously are not a reading system in this book, but each section colour represents a key theme viz :

Yellow Section :  Exercises Upper Body

Lime Section : Exercises Lower Body

Orange Section : Exercises Core

Purple Section : Stretches

Blue Section : Sports-Specific Workouts

Turquoise Section : Functional Workouts

Indigo Section : Appendix

I am finding this text interesting as a beginners guide to the body and understanding the main muscle structure of the body.  Having found this body I looked for online material and found an interesting set of you-tube videos made by Pietro Boselli.  Boselli is not just a person who provides fitness video's, he is also an engineer and former mathematics instructor from University College, London.  Quite an interesting bio.

Boselli's four minute video on Abs showed me great production value and video's that resemble what I found interesting about the Encyclopedia of Exercise Anatomy :
