Lots of pictures illustrating the location where stretch should be felt if you do it right.
Good layman's terms concerning the importance of stretching daily.
One of the best books I've seen that encourages stretching to feel better all over
Specialized stretching for specific sports included.
Every stretch is within a person's reach if they will just try.

I borrowed this book from the library and used it for three weeks before I decided to purchase it. I love the way the exercises are organized and illustrated. The stretches themselves are very do-able and leave me feeling great! I'll be using this book for a long time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2006
Verified Purchase
This book did not suit me, because:

1. I am a man, and this book is clearly intended for women. All of the photos are of women, and the choice of topics gives special prominence to issues that interest women. That's fine, of course, if you're a woman. In fact, it's great! But since I am a man, I wish the description of the book had made it clear it was directed toward a particular gender. Frankly, I felt somewhat unwelcome within this book's pages.

2. The author has not understood the adage, "less is more." As a result, the reader is so overwhelmed by various stretches (and stretching regimes) that it's hard to know where to start. There is "head to toe" stretching, "21-days to better posture" stretching, "basic stretching", stretching for tennis, golf, swimming, soccer, etc, etc., "stretching for daily activities", "therapeutic stretching," and on and on. So where should the novice begin? And what should the novice do on a daily basis to increase flexibility? Those questions were never answered.

Although this book didn't suit me, it may work well for many women. It is very richly illustrated with clear color photographs, and the author's attention to pregnancy and post-pregnancy will certainly be appreciated by some. For general readers who just want to increase their flexibility -- and who are looking for a straight-forward program -- there are better choices, in my opinion. "Stretching", by Bob Anderson, is an excellent example.

5.0 out of 5 stars We all need to stretch more and this will help you do it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is my absolute favourite book ever. I have given friends copies. Whenever I have stiffness or overworked muscles I use the stretches in this book and they sort me out. I've sometimes had lower back pain in the past as my work requires me to stand all day and using the thereputic stretches for lower back pain and some hip stretches has helped me recover in a a couple of weeks each time. The older I get the more I need this book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good regime of exercise.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2015

Diagramatically, the book is aimed at ladies, but clearly men would benefit from this way of exercising.

The book itself is well organised well and the photos illustrating the exercises are of good quality and clear. You can follow the programmes give, or you really can dip into it an take what you need.

For those familiar with yoga you may see some similarities, but I would say yo'd benefit well from these exercises, which don't have the stress associated with some forms of exercise.

I have been using this book as a practical guide for stretching exercises, and it is very easy to follow. The three-week plan is really great: simple, not over-ambitious, but yet effective. If you are looking for a practical book on stretching, this is a good book.
