Science of Stretch: Reach Your Flexible Potential, Stay Active, Maximize Mobility (DK Science of)

THis book is well thought out, and topics presented, from an overview of the body - muscles, skeletal, nervous systems and brain, to how precisely stretching works for every part of the body. Loaded with practical exercises for every part of the body, as well as for a holistic perspective - its lovely to see famiilar yoga exercices from a stretching and joint/muscle/tendon/ligament angle. The illustrations are incredible, the font is very readable, not too much information on any page, yet full of goodness. Lovely layout and size. Kudos to Dr Leada Malek for such a gift to humanity.

Dr. Malek does a fantastic job explaining the importance of the what, why and how for overall mobility and flexibility. The book has a lot of great descriptions and demonstrations for how to achieve improved joint flexibility. I use this book daily for exercises to add to my routine. Highly recommend this book!

I am not a professional. The book is incredibly infirmary and the illustrations are fantastic. My wife, a massage therapist, didn't really bother with it until she actually saw the drawings and the stretches. Got it to take care of my old body. Had to buy a second copy since the first one seems to have disappeared. Lol. Very useful. Good value. It seems somewhat difficult to find. I think my original copy came from the UK. With the wait.

Well illustrated!

I generally love DK books for kids. This book about stretching did not disappoint. I teach a stretch class in my community based on Pilates exercises. I found this book to be very informative and illustrative of what I teach, and it filled in some knowledge gaps. The diagrams are great for showing the muscles being stretched, and the information is organized in an intuitive way. I’ve ordered the rest of the books in this series because of how valuable I found this one.

Great book! Excellent picstures and illustrations

Good stretches and details and pics about each one good price on sale too

I used this product to properly stretch and learn more about what is being stretched in my body. Highly recommended to everyone; to those who train in the gym everyday to those who sit in the office 8hrs everyday.
