I love this book so much.

Anyone interested in exercise, fitness and sports. This is a must. Visually shows which muscles are being stretched and which stretches are most effective for certain muscles. Illustrations are amazing. Also great tips for making stretches more effective.

great book. Stretching is not utilised enough. This book alone helped to 'iron out' lots of little aches and pains from various areas in my body. From neck pain, shoulder issues and also ankle pains, this book has really helped me to gain more flexibility and in turn helped improve my standard of life. 10/10

Great book!

One of these great books made the astute statement that stretching so that one is like a contortionist isn't an advantage, and is quite often a detriment. We are in the 2010's folks, not the 80's. Marathon masters don't stretch much which translates to more of plyometric, springy gait, a definite speed and energy advantage. Warming up is important ! And appropriate stretching for your sport. If you sit a lot, or do repetitive motions a lot of the day stretching will make your body feel great and reduce the chance of injury. Let Delavier's books SHOW you the proper way. Great illustrations ! Great information ! Good for beginners. Even better for intermediates and pros in that you can really see what you have been doing already. Some of these books have explanations about injuries and prevention. As they indicate they spell out exercises for different athletes to stress. I've been lifting for over 45 years and am astonished by what goes on in the weight rooms. Some of the "exercises" people do are useless, some are dangerous. Most people lift far too lightly to get all but incidental benefit. (That being said, if you are just starting out go light on the weights with proper form !!! One must train the ligaments and tendons first ! Those take longer to train than muscles.) To this end I have purchased several of these to be put in the weight training and stretching areas of the gym I use just so people can "see" what they are doing and to learn other ways to do it. Ahnold said, "I get ten times the results when I visualize the mahcells I am training ! " He should know ! . . . Additionally, research has shown that people get more benefit from aerobic training when they don't distract themselves with Ipods or TV.. Just a thought.
