Do you feel that even with exercise and diet you are far from reaching your fitness goals?
You are not alone. Even though we are more into fitness than ever, the programs we use are just not working well enough. Many are even dangerous and can weaken the body and make it prone to injury. Marv Marinovich, former conditioning coach for the Oakland Raiders and renowned sports trainer, and Dr. Edythe Heus, a chiropractor specializing in rehabilitating elite athletes, have developed ProBodX (Proper Body Exercise) to close this fitness gap. ProBodX is the only fitness and conditioning program that safely builds and tones muscle while increasing strength, flexibility, balance, and grace.
ProBodX was originally designed for professional athletes -- such as Jason Sehorn of the New York Giants and Steve Finley of the Arizona Diamondbacks -- looking to increase their level of athleticism and to avoid injury. In this book, the program has been designed for anyone who wants to improve athletic ability or simply get in shape and stay in shape without injury.
Essentially the ProBodX program combines unstable surfaces (gymnastic balls, slant boards, balance disks) with multiplane movement and strength loading (special hand and foot weights) to simultaneously stretch and strengthen the body. The result is a stimulated nervous system and increased speed, power, and flexibility.
Whether your interest is reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle, playing sports, or just maintaining a healthy body, ProBodX's unique balanced fitness program can help. In addition, the program includes a dynamic eating program based on Barry Sears's Zone Diet to truly jump start the body and see real results in four to six weeks.

A conditioning and fitness program based on the renowned pro–athlete training regimen that is designed to work with the body's natural movements to build maximum strength, speed, and flexibility. 
 ProBodX (Proper Body Exercise) was originally designed for injured professional athletes (Jason Sehorn, Steve Finley, Jason Giambi etc.) In this book, the program has been modified for the average person who wants to get in shape or stay in shape without injury. The program also includes an eating plan based on Barry Sears's Zone Diet. 
 ProBodX is a series of conditioning exercises that build strength, speed, and flexibility. The workout is done in a specific order, designed to engage each muscle or muscle group in preparation for the next exercise. The end result is total balanced fitness. The workout uses jump ropes, balls, slant boards, and hand weights – the very props used in most physical therapy classes. 
 The goal here is uniform flexibility and strength – the kind of balanced fitness that prevents and repairs injury.
