Ginastica Natural: The Ultimate Body Weight Training for Performance and Quality of Life Paperback – February 22, 2017

I purchased this book for my husband (Rich Smith) as a resource for him to use after completing his Ginastica Natural instructor certification. The history that is presented as well as the techniques are a valuable addition to the information that he received during his certification process. Based on his words, I would recommend this book as well as Ginastica Natural for anyone that has an interest in improving their health.

Great to see this Master Alvaro is amazing!!! Ginastica Natural has changed my life in so many ways! This is a great book explaining what it’s is and the history behind it.

The book is mostly a short autobiography, followed by how the creator of this system came up with the art. There are two brief sections on different movements you can perform, but is very limited in teaching the actual principles of the system or how to use the movements to benefit your health. Unfortunately, the only options they provide are expensive courses online. There are a good number of videos on Youtube that are much better than the book.

Lots of generalities, not much specific or useful.

Great theory and history, especially around training concepts. Was hoping for more around actual moves and instructions including photos.Formatting of Kindle version isn’t great - be warned.

This is a great little book to keep on hand when needing a quick reference on breathing techniques and movements for enhancing surf performance. The photos are inspiring and and the breakdown of movements are great.

Thank you

Great book, excellent content.
