A good book on stretching exercises ?

[Bernard]

Can anyone recommend a good book for stretching exercises ? Preferably something that can be bought on Amazon.

Many Thanks

Anna

I don't know what the good titles are out there, but I'd bet you'd have better luck if you went onto the Human Kinetics website (www.humankinetics.com). I'd bet with Amazon you get a bunch of dumbed-down dreck, whereas on Human Kinetics you'd get a lot more professional, scientifically safe stuff on flexibility training.

Stretching
by Bob Anderson

It has a lot of different stretching exercises for sports-specific activities, everyday activities, and targeting certain areas of the body.

My husband has the book and uses it all the time.

the only disadvantage to this book is that many of the stretches are more effective with props and/or a partner, but there are so many stretches and variations offered that there is still plenty to work on solo.
