Lovely and advanced, Jan 4 2000
By F. Webb "country girl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Stretching: A New Exercise Program for Health and Vitality (Paperback)
This is not a book for beginners! The exercises start at a challenging level and get harder. The illustrations are excellent but the prose is too much to read while trying to follow the instructions. There is no remedial instruction for someone who is having trouble with a particular stretch. All in all, a beautiful choice for advanced stretch or yoga enthusiasts only.

Great Way to Add Stretching to Your Routine, Feb 10 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Stretching: A New Exercise Program for Health and Vitality (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful when I decided to incorporate stretching/strengthing to my workout routine without having to sign up for a costly class. There is a learning curve and anyone using this book should be prepared to take some time to learn the stretches - it won't happen overnight. The stretches are clearly described in a step-by-step manner with pictures and "easing the stretch" options to help people of all fitness levels. I particularly appreciated the 30 minute routines so I didn't have to decide which stretches to perform in what order. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Excellent, easy to follow guide to yoga., May 31 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Stretching: A New Exercise Program for Health and Vitality (Paperback)
Complete stretching is filled with easy to follow color photos, gently paced work outs and stretches for specific situations (tennis, running, relaxing, topping up energy, etc.) I substantially increased my strength and flexibility over a several month period starting with the basic stretch work out. The classic sun salute of yoga is shown in easy to follow pictures - and is a great a.m. work out. In addition to stretching and strengthening tight muscles, if performed continuously it is quite aerobic. I have recommended this book to many people of all ages and everyone who uses it loves it.
