Stretches are given for just about every muscle and limb you'd ever want to stretch and the author has even included some suggested stretching routines for various sports. Whether you're a competetive athlete, business person or housewife, I feel that this is book will have something to offer everyone making it a very ... Read More: |

| I use some aerobic DVD's and often find that the cool down is not long enough, leavng me with the obligatory soreness the day after or so. I also hold some tension in my neck and was looking for a book that showed a range of stretches for various body parts. Have to say that I love this book. The best thing about it is that it shows a range of stretches for each body part (see the contents page on Amazon) - each stretch shows a diagram with the affected muscle highlighted so you can clearly see what ...

| I brought this book as I want to increase my flexibility. I'm not a martial artist and basically use exercise DVD's so was a bit hesitant. I headed to this as I have been using the Billy Blanks Tae-Bo DVD's (great!) that involve roundhouse and side kicks and wanted to increase the height of my kicks. However...the book is written in very plain language - no jargon and not intimidating. It talks about what influences your flexibility, and the different types of stretching. It then has sections on different ... Read More: |

| This book is very useful and well set out so enable anyone who doesnt know anything about stretching to learn any understand the muscle physiology. As a physio, I also found it useful because towards the end it goes into quite a lot of detail although the general athlete 1. will probably get confused at this point, and 2. doesnt really need this much detail.
I thought this book was awesome until I reached the last few chapters when I often began to think tom should maybe get his head out of his ... Read More: |

| I bought this book halfway through a diploma course on Sports Therapy. With an interesting intro on the history of PNF , and very clear pictures, I havn't found a better book on the subject yet. The section on Spiral Diagonal Patterns is fairly complex, but thats not a criticism. Overall a good reference source at a decent price. |

| This book is a personal treasure and the last reviewer was right, its not just a book with stretches in, it has theory to it too!! Its really just a great book, if like me you would like to understand why youre doing certain stretches then this is the book to get.
I dont like buying books that just take advantage of your impulse "to get into something healthy" at the start of the new year. So this book is really a breath of fresh air. It has pages and pages worth of basic/intermediate and advanced stretches. ... Read More: |
