Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness (Applications of Motivational Interviewing)
von Dawn Clifford, Laura Curtis

Making and maintaining lasting changes in nutrition and fitness is not easy for anyone. Yet the communication style of a health professional can make a huge difference. This audiobook presents the proven counseling approach known as motivational interviewing (MI) and shows exactly how to use it in day-to-day interactions with clients. MI offers simple yet powerful tools for helping clients work through ambivalence, break free of diets and quick-fix solutions, and overcome barriers to change. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate specific ways to enhance conversations about meal planning and preparation, exercise, body image, disordered eating, and more. Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2″ x 11″ size. Instructors requesting a desk copy from Guilford will be emailed a link to supplemental PowerPoint slides and exam questions.

This audiobook is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.

Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness is wonderfully narrated by Kathleen Godwin. All figures and handouts referenced in the audiobook are included in the supplementary PDF, which is available for download with purchase of the audiobook.

Please note: when you purchase this title, the accompanying pdf will be available in your audible library along with the audio.

Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist
von Pavel Tsatsouline und StrongFirst

You are strong, or used to be.

You take pride in your all-around physical development – but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for a sport….

You have been around too long to be fooled by pop fitness “high intensity” fads.

The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you. A culmination of five years of research and experimentation, it distills cutting-edge science to a straightforward protocol of only two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups.

Q&D delivers. A highly ranked pro boxer sums up its effects: “I had even greater speed and explosiveness, and I was able to maintain this for the whole match…. I had gas to sell.”

A military special operator, on the wrong side of 40, reports: “a speed increase in all my powerlifts…pain relief in all of my injuries…an increase in my endurance while doing combatives…increased striking power….”

Q&D can be a minimalist’s stand-alone total training regimen – or be plugged into any athlete’s regimen. It takes only 12-30 minutes, two to three times per week.

Additional benefits may include:

Increased testosterone
Decreased cortisol
Improved heart rate variability
Reduced body fat
Improved soft tissue quality

All this without getting “smoked” – because you need energy to fight, work, play, live.
