Many stretches to use depending on your given sport and 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 and other useful floor stretches.
Quite good but not the best... December 10, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is quite good and does cover plenty of stretches. It's also well laid out and 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 and when they should be used in 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.

This is an excellent book... the stretches are a little difficult to get used to at first... especially if you haven't done any stretching in 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... and a wide range of sports are covered.All in all an excellent product.
 perfect for me.... November 13, 2003

I visit the gym 4times a week, attend a martial arts class twice a week, run 3times a week, swim 3times a week and go on my punchbag 2/3times a week....thus, stretching is really quite important to help avoid injuries, and help with my flexibility. It covers every sport u cud ever want, and gives just enough detail (both scientific and advice on performing the stretches) to understand the reason 4stretching and it's importance...without baffling you. I recommend this book to everyone, everyone should stretch regularly. It rocks. lol. Peace.
Essential for Martial Arts March 12, 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 and 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 and speed. Dont get a martial arts book if you want to increase flexibility - this guy knows what he's talking about.
