Description
This brand-new, profusely illustrated fitness manual presents a graded six-week exercise program designed to produce optimal body flexibility and fitness. Readers are introduced to a wide range of dynamic and static whole-body stretching exercises that include standing spine rotation, lying hamstring stretch, kneeling hip flexor, standing calf stretch, and many others. The author includes a series of self-assessment questionnaires throughout the six-week program to help readers monitor their progress and, where needed, focus on body-stretching areas that require extra attention. This stretch fit program helps individuals reach maximum flexibility at their own pace, guiding them from beginner through intermediate routines, and finally to advanced exercises designed to produce maximum body flexibility. Color photos demonstrate each exercise routine, and detailed charts guide readers day by day through the entire six-week program. Full color photos on most pages.
