See results from just 10-20 minutes of moving stretches per day!
This accessible guide gives step-by-step instructions for people who feel tight or older than they should, people with poor posture, athletes who want to boost their performance, and those who want something more than conventional stretching. This book includes:
• An introduction to stretching, the fascia, and flexibility
• Easy-to-follow guidance on how to stretch for maximum impact
• Effective stretches and warm-ups for the whole body: front, back, inside leg, outside body
• Goal-oriented stretch routines: flexibility, hip opener, posture, office jobs, and more!
Many of us are limited in our movements, hunched over, or tight. Office jobs and sofas can lead to bodies that are imprisoned in a cage of tension, whose tissue is dehydrated and stuck together, with some areas that are very weak or tight. Normal stretching is not strong enough to break us out of that state. When we tense our bodies and move through that tension, we engage the fascia and recondition it into a more youthful state, restoring great posture, elasticity, and power.

The book is excellent value, large and very well illustrated with colour photographs throughout of people performing a wide variety of stretching exercises. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for ways to help their body feel more youthful and avoid or treat aches and pains.
The book is outlined with easy to follow instructions and covers major muscle groups and regions throughout the body.
I would highly recommend it for those folks who are interested in general movement and stretching practices as well as those attempting to recover from injury!
Un seul bémol, la couverture n est pas assez rigide, ce à quoi j ai remédié avec un bricolage maison. Utile, car je suis sûre que je vais beaucoup utiliser ce livre.
