By Malcolma (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stretching Anatomy (Paperback)
I really like this practical how-to guide, EXCEPT, the binding is wrong. It should have a ring binding so that you can take this book to the gym with you to be able to hold it open to follow the instructions.I may try to have my copy re-bound.

Buy this one,
By Loren w Christensen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stretching Anatomy (Paperback)
I have been a martial arts teacher for 42 years and have authored over 20 books on the subject. So I know a little about stretching. Stretching Anatomy is a wonderful guide that is concise, yet somehow amazingly complete.The book isn't written for one particular sport, but the savvy reader will quickly see how the many easy-to-do stretches (and a couple hard ones) will improve their performance within weeks. Each clearly demonstrated exercise includes simple how-to-do instruction, when to do it, and which primary and secondary muscles are being stretched. The book provides three levels of difficulty, including light movements to warm-up and to help you recovery quickly from an injury or post workout soreness. A real plus are the anatomy chart-like illustrations that show via colored shading which muscles are being affected by the stretch. This is an excellent book that I recommend to my students. Loren W.

Great stretching book!,

This review is from: Stretching Anatomy (Paperback)
I have used this book to not only show and teach clients and patients proper stretching techniques, I have recommended it as a tool for the Physical Therapist at my job, and used it for myself. Illustrations are detailed with specific muscles described in each stretch and are very helpful in understanding the anatomy of each stretch - great book for ANYONE, especially pre- and post-workout for athletes! I also recommend "Stretching" by Bob Anderson in conjunction with this as a teaching tool.

A great stretching resource!,
By K. Bauman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stretching Anatomy (Paperback)
I've been a runner and athlete for over a decade, and even having learned dozens of stretches along the way, this book was well worth the money. It's very comprehensive - contains stretches for every muscle group and even describes the supporting muscle groups you're using when doing a particular stretch. The visuals are clear and helpful as well. The explanations are very easy to follow, and I love that it gives tips within each stretch for increasing the intensity or stretching slightly different muscles with a slightly different motion.
