Let's way for an English edition first and see if it does get translated into other languages ;)

Not sure this blog entry, from Dolph himself, has been posted before:

Ta Dolphs råd: en träningsfri vecka!

Så här på senhösten har du förhoppningsvis kört järnet både i gymet och i spåret i ett par månader efter sommaruppehållet Börjar du månne känna dig lite sliten? Verkar träningen liksom mer och mer enformig? Kanske har gymbesöken blivit ett måste? Dags för en återhamtningsvecka!
Jag brukar lägga in en sådan ungerfär varannan månad. Efter 7 veckors regelbunden träning tar jag 7 dagar ledigt. Varför inte lägga in den till Fars Dag? Barnen uppskattar ju mest när man tillbringar tid med dem och gör "kul grejer". När jag tänker tillbaka själv så var det just de stunderna man minns. Särkilt som pappa känner man ofta att jobbet och vardagsbestyren tar så mycket av ens tid.

Vad menar jag då med en återhamtningsvecka?
En hel vecka när du inte får köra något av dina vanliga pass. Endast vila, lätt stretching och njuta av någon form av annorlunda avslappnande träning, t.ex simmning eller yoga. Lägg gärna in en massage eller ett besök hos kiropraktorn. Försök äta gott och se till att du vilar mer än vanligt.

Det viktigt att du "känner av" din kropp i tid och planerar in återhämtningsveckan innan du blir for trött och ökar risken för skador och förslitningar.
Du behöver tid för din kropp att hämta nya krafter, att ge hjärnan en paus från att ständigt planera nästa träningspass. En möjlighet att ta till dig dina hårt vunna träningserfarenheter och få nya ideer. När man ligger på bänkpressen eller står på löpbandet varje dag ar det lätt att hamna i tvångstankar om sin kropp och träning. "Jag måste köra si och så mycket annars blir jag fet och kommer ur form på nolltid".
I verkligheten är det tvärtom: en vältränad fysik behöver ett uppehåll då och då för att du ska komma ur en "platåfas" - inget verkar hända hur mycket du än tränar.
Det är inte alltid helt lätt att ta en vecka ledigt!

För mig brukar dag 3 i veckan vara värst. Jag känner mig seg, klen och plötsligt verkar alla gamla krampor göra sig påminda. Det gäller att bita ihop och inte ta träningsvaskan och sega sig ned på gymet för att träna bort skiten och "må som en människa".
Hitta på något med barnen. Hyr en film eller gå på museum. Lite gammaldags kultur skadar inte som motvikt till allt internetskvaller. Jag försöker ibland få min 10-åriga dotter att uppskatta en av mina favvis-filmer. Ofta blir det tvärtom... Huvudsaken är att man upplevt något speciellt tillsammans.

Dag 5 och 6 i veckan kommer träningssuget som ett brev på posten och när jag går och lägger mig dag 7 så känns det härligt att äntligen få packa träningsväskan. Innan jag slumrar in har nya fräscha träningsideer redan börjat dyka upp på hjärnkontoret. Jag vet att nästa dag kommer att bli en skön upplevelse. Normalt kör jag ett lättare, mera lekfullt första pass. Det funkar alltid: inom 2-3 dagar är farsan tillbaka i "zonen" igen!
"Faster, higher, stronger!"

A review in English
http://mixeddoingarts.com/2012/01/09/fi ... en-review/
Fit Forever is the fitness book (for lack of a better term) by action star Dolph Lundgren.

The book is both a training manual and a biography, where the open and self-disclosing stories of his life serve as both a relevant background as well as a motivation to the workout routines.

As far as the physical part goes, it’s pretty much what can be expected. Some general personal advice and examples, some workout programs and some nutritional tips.

What sets the book apart from many others like it, is that it doesn’t assume that the reader will be able to rearrange his life to completely and live by the book’s gospel. It rather tells of how to keep the best routine you can while dealing with all the distractions and intrusions of a busy life.

So my favorite part of the book is the No Excuses workout program. It’s a short intense workout that requires no training tools, and is designed to be performed when you don’t have time to go to the gym. 15 exercises for the whole body in 15 minutes including warm-up. According to Dolph these aren’t just a bunch of standard exercises for the whole body, but an ultimate combo that he has experimented with and worked hard to perfect over many years to get maximum results.

I perform the No Excuses workout several times a week, usually at 6.30 in the morning while my 11-month-old son sits next to me on the floor raking though his toys, enjoying a fresh diaper.

At the time of this writing the book is only available in Swedish, but an international edition is expected in 2012.

Barnes & Noble is the only bookstores left around here and they have coffee and free Wi-fi. Which means I can sit and wait it out all day if he does a Promo in the US. I'm just happy with the book at this point, but no harm in hoping right? :)
