"Blytungt, rappt och roligt om kvinnlig styrketräning" Dagens Nyheter

"Rör sig mellan gymgolv och tanketradition, med en personlig, påläst och stilistiskt säkert ton. / / Så lyckas Martinsson fördjupa och komplicera den samtida diskussionen kring träning." Expressen

"En fascinerande och tänkvärd berättelse om vår kroppslighet och den tillvaro som formar oss." VLT

Idag är styrketräning en helt självklar träningsform för svenska kvinnor. Men fram till nyligen var det en tabubelagd syssla, och om den skulle utföras skulle det helst inte ske utanför hemmet. Att som kvinna tävla i sporten tyngdlyftning var otänkbart - inte förrän år 2000 var damer välkomna att ställa upp i OS.

Knäböj är en berättelse om kvinnor och styrketräning. Det handlar om hur den enkla strävan att själv få bygga sin kropp och lyfta tungt har motarbetats och misstänkliggjorts, och om det mod och kreativitet som krävts för att trotsa den. Med ett personligt och kunnigt tilltal, med inspiration från skönlitteraturen och forskningen, skriver journalisten Sara Martinsson den kvinnliga styrketräningens idéhistoria, från strong women och föreningslivets eldsjälar till dagens träningsinfluencers.

Sara Martinsson är frilansjournalist och tyngdlyftningstränare. Hon skriver om musik, kultur och träning i bland annat DN och Arbetet.

Improve your body’s oxygen use and increase your health, weight loss, and sports performance—whether you’re a recovering couch potato or an Ironman triathlon champion.

One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic over-breathing. We often take many more breaths than we need—without realizing it—contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems.

In The Oxygen Advantage, the man who has trained over 5,000 people—including Olympic and professional athletes—in reduced breathing exercises now shares his scientifically validated techniques to help you breathe more efficiently. Patrick McKeown teaches you the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body, then gets you started with a Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine how efficiently your body uses oxygen. He then shows you how to increase your BOLT score by using light breathing exercises and learning how to simulate high altitude training, a technique used by Navy SEALs and professional athletes to help increase endurance, weight loss, and vital red blood cells to dramatically improve cardio-fitness.

Following his program, even the most out-of-shape person (including those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma) can climb stairs, run for a bus, or play soccer without gasping for air, and everyone can achieve:

Easy weight loss and weight maintenanceImproved sleep and energyIncreased concentrationReduced breathlessness during exerciseHeightened athletic performanceImproved cardiovascular healthElimination of asthmatic symptoms, and more.

With The Oxygen Advantage, you can look better, feel better, and do more—it’s as easy as breathing.
