This book includes all three "Got Sugar?" books in one paperback edition. MAIN BOOK "Philosophy of a Sweet Tooth" includes tons of Debbie's upbeat lifestyle tips and stories. Many new ideas are offered to help pep up your daily routine, regain focus and relearn how to live with a child-like spirit. Over the last 15 years, Debbie has changed from just getting through each day, to wanting to get up to challenge herself with a goal or unusual game she's created. Find out for yourself and be inspired into the habit of happiness with her philosophy as a sweet tooth. Eating sweets may even help you live longer! RECIPE BOOK "Everything You Need To Know to Satisfy a Healthy Sweet Tooth" is a handy companion to keep in the kitchen near the sugar! This 2nd Companion book evolved from Debbie's love of finding recipes and altering them to taste great but add nutrition. These recipes are sprinkled with her own imagination as a mother of 2 sometimes finicky eaters to make sure they would get the nutrition they need. Inspiration and creativity abound with her and her kids in the kitchen. Over 50 recipes are featured for breakfasts, main meals and desserts. WORKOUT BOOK "The Sweet Guide to Fitness and Well Being" delves into the structure of our muscles and how to easily understand exercises relating to balancing muscle masses and tone. Included are a year's worth of efficient workout plans that have helped Debbie succeed at more than 50 triathlons and running races over the past 15 years. Having the tools to burn off whatever you eat is what this book is about.

Complete Conditioning for Soccer (Complete Conditioning for Sports Series)

Complete Conditioning for Soccer (Complete Conditioning for Sports Series) Review

See more picture

Grueling. That's one way anyone who has ever played soccer describes the sport. Soccer requires spurts of speed and game-long endurance, so even the most skilled halfbacks, fullbacks, and forwards know they can't survive on talent alone. It also takes unbelievable conditioning—the kind of conditioning that guarantees the stamina to run the field and still have the explosiveness to plow through defenders, battle for position, and drill the ball into the goal.

That's where Complete Conditioning for Soccer can help. Written by Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid and Robert Alejo, a veteran conditioning coach who has worked with the UCLA Bruins and World Cup soccer teams, this book features numerous exercises designed to enhance performance.

Modeled after the same conditioning programs as those used by the Galaxy and Bruin powerhouses, Complete Conditioning for Soccer shows players how to get in the best possible shape with expert information on

- flexibility and warm-up techniques,
- strength training,
- power development,
- aerobic training,
- speed and agility exercises, and
- individual and team conditioning with the ball.

Unlike other books on the market, Complete Conditioning for Soccer is easy to follow—and use! That's because the authors have combined step-by-step instructions with more than 125 photographs and illustrations to ensure that players use the proper form and technique. Use these expert coaches' conditioning programs to outperform and outwork your opponents, game after game!
