Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-04 00:00:00 John E.D. Malin It feels silly to review a book about stretching, but I gave it five stars so I figured what the heck. I got this book out from the library because I have lower back and leg pain. I watch videos on Youtube for yoga, exercises, and stretches to try to ease this pain, but sometimes I just want something straight to the point and I don't want to watch a ten minute video trying to remember a specific move. This book is perfect for this and I'm going to buy a copy just so I can refer to it in the future. You get figures with shading to show exactly what part you're stretching and it's not flashy or exciting but it does the job. This book is separated into stretches for each different body part and also for specific athletes, such as how to stretch before and after playing golf or football and also for non-athletes, such as stretches for travelers and office workers. This book is incredibly in-depth; if you want to learn how to stretch something, it's more than likely included in this book. Are you stiff after gardening or sore after snow boarding? Do you have lower back tension or want to learn how to do the splits? All of that and more is in this book. (I am not being paid to say any of this, although I sound like an infomercial ...) I already feel like I've learned, and retained, quite a bit from this book and it's truly been helpful with my daily pain management. Over 3 million people can't be wrong! ... : \
