Strength Band
Training shows how to use resistive bands and tubing in 106
exercises addressing every major muscle group. These exercises have
been used by strength professionals and many top athletes because the
bands and tubing allow you to add resistance in multiple
directions—something free weights and machines can’t do. As a result,
your resistance routine can simulate sport demands, strengthening core
and supporting muscles or targeting specific rehabilitation needs.

When educator Cathie
Summerford started teaching sixth-graders in 1993, she wanted to
create an interdisciplinary physical education program—one that builds
healthy minds as well as bodies and prepares children for a lifetime
of wellness and fitness. She broke new ground with a theme-based
approach to physical education that children and teachers love.
In PE-4-ME: Teaching Lifelong Health and Fitness, you’ll find Cathie’s
blueprint for a unique K-12 program that integrates physical activity
with movement concepts, social skills, stress reduction, nutrition,
school safety, and drug resistance education. Cathie stresses
brain-compatible learning - the ability of physical activity to
enhance cognitive function - in all of her lessons to maximize the
benefits of her integrated approach. [more]
