Product Description:
Stretching before you exercise or engage in
sports can actually cause fatigue and damage to your body by
putting undue stress on soft tissue, maintains Blahnik. Yet "a
good warm up," he argues, "can in fact reduce the risk of injury
prior to a workout if the warm-up is designed appropriately for
the workout that follows." In this stretching guidebook, the
fitness consultant, whom Shape magazine named one of the
country's top five exercise instructors, emphasizes the
importance of variety, strength and balance for increased
flexibility, performance, and comfort in the workplace, home, or
on the football field. Following an introduction that clarifies
essential terms and concepts for the beginner, the book provides
an assortment of stretching exercises, complete with
explanations and illustrations, for all parts of the body.
Chapter six presents challenging workouts based on yoga poses,
which require strength and superior flexibility, and later
sections specify the best exercises for different sports. For
those who have a limited amount of time to devote to fitness
routines, Blahnik organizes 10-, 20-, and 40- minute workouts as
well as morning and evening stretch routines. Though perhaps a
bit rudimentary, this volume should help novices reach their
physical health goals. |

Product Description:
In the revolutionary Somatics, Thomas
Hanna demonstrates that so many problems we accept as inevitable
over time--chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue,
and even high blood pressure--need never occur if we maintain
conscious control of nerve and muscle, a state which Hanna calls
sensory-motor awareness. This gentle, lifelong program can help
almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body
indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day. |

Product Description:
Regain the Buoyant Flexibility of a Young Child While Maximizing
Your Power and Strength
"Conventional stretching attempts to literally elongate your
tissues, which is dangerous and ineffective. Relax into Stretch
simply teaches your muscles to relax into a stretch. If you compare
traditional training to a messy hardware reorganization, then Relax
into Stretch is an efficient software upgrade.
While stretching tissues may take years, changes in the nervous
system are immediate! Your muscles will start noticeably elongating
from your first Relax into Stretch practice—and within months you
will have achieved a level of flexibility uncommon in our species."—Pavel
Tsatsouline

techniques for super-flexibility
—How the secret of mastering your emotions can add immediate
inches to your stretch
—How to wait out your tension—the surprising key to greater
mobility and a better stretch

want
—Why contract-relax stretching is 267% more effective than
conventional relaxed stretching
—How to breathe your way to greater flexibility
—Using the Russian technique of Forced Relaxation as your
ultimate stretching weapon
—How to stretch when injured—faster, safer ways to heal
—Young, old, male, female—learn what stretches are best for you
and what stretches to avoid
—Why excessive flexibility can be detrimental to athletic
performance—and how to determine your real flexibility needs
