The subtitle of the book "With mindfulness to holistic fitness" made me curious: on the one hand, as a tennis-crazy family we are currently working a lot on our physical fitness and it is exciting to see what else goes into "overall fitness" apart from physical fitness. heard. On the other hand, in the uncertain times we are currently living in, the topic of mindfulness is a topic that can give us all support. The book really captivated me on that quiet afternoon - I read it through in one sitting and was able to pick up many useful and valuable tips that influence physical fitness training just as much as the many other fitness areas covered in the book.
