5.0 out of 5 stars shows the exact muscle being stretched, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Stretching for Fitness, Health and Performance (Paperback)
i've seen other stretching books, but none which quite give the detail of the exact muscle being strtched. Written by two Canadian Chiropractors, each stretch is detailed clearly and simply with a drawing of the muscle being stretched.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This 192 page user friendly manual is perfect for people of any age group or fitness level. Written by two Canadian Chiropractors, it provides all the basic and advanced concepts of stretching. It's information, photographs and anatomical drawings are the best on the market today.

It contains stretching for all muscle areas as well as specific stretches for most sports. It also contains stretching for seniors, pregnancy, standing and sitting occupations and household activities.

Stretching for Fitness, Health & Performance is a must for any person in order to prevent injuries, maintain mobility and reduce stress!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Easy to Read, 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stretching for Fitness, Health and Performance (Paperback)
As an athlete myself, I have read all kinds of books on stretching and fitness. I found this to be the most informative manual on stretching that I have ever seen. A virtual encyclopedia of stretching! It covers every sport & activity known. Ranging from competitive athletics, to household chores, to certain ailments and even pregnancy. Also, simple exercises are outlined to help strengthen the back and joints of the body, helping to rehabilitate and prevent injuries. It is very easy to read - explaining technical concepts in a simple and understandable manner. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to increase their flexibilty, prevent injuries, and improve their health.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT- For the triathlete to the housewife, 12 Sep 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stretching for Fitness, Health and Performance (Paperback)
Personally I have read many books on stretching and yoga. I have also watched virtually every video on stretching and exercise. In my view this book far exceeds any other. It was easy to follow and provided many extra tips. The case studies and anatomy pictures were very interesting. The photos are great- so nice to not look at stickman drawings!
