Customer Reviews

A very good book for me

I read one of the other reviews and would like to say that I am a man and I found this book very helpful. It is a great book for a "weekend warrior" exerciser such as myself. I would reccommend it.

Nice product but a proofreading disaster!

The contents of this book are very good if you can overlook the misspellings and the entirely missing parts of sentences. It's a proofreading disaster! Did the editors etc. ever look at this book before it went into mass production? It makes me wonder if they left out some the important stretching information also!

The Ultimate Stretching Guide for the Body

Stretching improves flexibility and energizes the body, but it is also important for good posture. ~Suzanne Martin Suzanne Martin has cataloged almost every stretch known to humans in one book. Page after page of head-to-toe stretches are shown in full-color photography. You can either stretch during daily activities or create an entire stretching routine. Contents: What Is Stretching? Head-To-Toe Catalog of Stretches 21-Day Posture Program Basic Stretching Routines Stretches for Sports - Tennis, Golf, Swimming Stretches for Daily Activities - Computer use, Long Drives, Telephone Calls, Lifting, Standing, Sitting, Hauling. Stretches for Pregnancy Therapeutic Stretches for Neck and Shoulders By stretching the body, you can stay healthy and supple, prevent injury while playing sports or relieve pain and improve your posture. No matter what you hope to achieve, Suzanne Martin's book makes it possible. Each picture has details, like "where you will feel the stretching taking place." There are also ideas about how stretching can prevent lower back pain or even prevent fluids from being trapped in the lower body (leg swelling.) Highlights: A Flexibility Test Pictures Modifications of Stretches including how to intensify stretches Names for all the stretches STRETCHING is an excellent guide to more stretching techniques than I have ever seen in an exercise routine/stretching routine DVD. The practical stretching, for say computer use, makes this book indispensable. ~The Rebecca Review
