Stretching: 40th Anniversary Edition

I had stumbled upon this Stretching book decades ago -- in my twenties -- as a serious amateur soccer player. It's a simple book but I found it VERY helpful in improving my flexibility and body awareness in a way that improved my 'reach". I felt like it helped me comfortably stretch out a little further and reach balls that others probably couldn't reach. I loaned it to a friend or daughter at some point... and never got it back. Now I'm retired and have more time to pay attention to physical activity again. I'm thrilled the book is still available, and not surprised it's considered a classic.

Just bought this new version because I lost my original book bought in the 1980s. Great book with stretches tailored to different sports and activities.

it's the second one I bought. It always help me to do the correct stretch.

Ok

My favorite book for stretching. I like the overall approach, and each stretch has a good narrative description of how to do it, and nice hand drawn pictures.

The stretching bible. I’ve given a few away including this one. I can’t say enough good things about stretching and this book particularly.

Time the time I have been using this book and it’s stretching exercises. It has made me feel much better and much more limber. It has great exercises for all kinds of different activities.

When my muscles throughout my body became tight, I knew that I needed to stretch them. I own a much earlier version of this book and couldn’t find it. So, I purchased this one and followed the bed stretches and feel so much better. The illustrations and written instructions are clear and easy to follow. I just shared with my husband who has a neurological disease that causes the muscles in his legs in particular to be tight. He’s looking forward to doing these exercises as well.

Great book with good explanations!

Livro clássico de alongamento para melhorar a saúde. A versão que roda no app da Kindle é colorida e ainda melhor de ler.

Livro muito útil. Tem imensos exercícios e as instruções são específicas e claras. Muito fácil de usar.

This is a great book, which I'm always banging on about to my friends! Loads of different stretches for different parts of the body, really clear instructions and illustrations. Lots of different routines, which means you don't get bored doing the same thing every day.
