Comprehensive Stretching - By: , 15 Aug 2005 
Many stretches to use depending on your given sport & detailed use of each stretch per body part.Very useful for beginers.Some of the movements are repeated. Also recommend the Backsmart Fitness Plan, great stretches using the wall & other useful floor stretches.
Quite good but not the best... - By: , 10 Dec 2004 This book is quite good & does cover plenty of stretches. It's also well laid out & has an easy to read format. However it doesn't really cover all the different types of stretching (e.g. isometric, ballistic, dynamic) what they are for & when they should be usedin your workouts. Unfortunately, the best book I have found is now out of print but if you can track down a copy then get Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurtz.
much improved flexibility - By: Mr. P. Belfield, 19 Jan 2004 This is an excellent book... the stretches are a little difficult to get used to at first... especially if you haven't done any stretchingin a while... the book is well organised allowing you to conentrate on the strecthes that are most beneficial to the sport you are interested in... & a wide range of sports are covered.
Allin all an excellent product.
perfect for me.... - By: , 13 Nov 2003 
I visit the gym 4times a week, attend a martial arts class twice a week, run 3times a week, swim 3times a week & go on my punchbag 2/3times a week....thus, stretching is really quite important to help avoid injuries, & help with my flexibility. It covers every sport u cud ever want, & gives just enough detail (both scientific & advice on performing the stretches) to understand the reason 4stretching & it's importance...without baffling you.
I recommend this book to everyone, everyone should stretch regularly. It rocks. lol.
Peace.
Essential for Martial Arts - By: Conor Mcshane, 12 Mar 2003 This book on stretching is a must for those who do martial arts. The 311 stretches cover just about everything, but its the theories behind stretching & flexibility that are most useful. The book gives you an insight into how to increase your flexibility, which is central to martial artists who want to kick with perfection. It also outlines the benefits of flexibility, which are increased power & speed. Dont get a martial arts book if you want to increase flexibility - this guy knows what he's talking about.
