Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Think of a cat stretching after a nap: first the front legs are pushed out in front, then each back leg is extended like a dancer's. No wonder the leap to the window sill seems effortless. LeMay is a noted fitness and dance instructor, and her book outlines a program of stretches that purport to achieve similar graceful results in people. Among the additional benefits she also claims for her exercises are a reduction in physical and mental tension, body toning, an expanded range of motion, increased energy levels, improved circulation, the promotion of good balance, the prevention of injuries, and as a tool to help focus the mind. Interspersed with commentary about qi, or life energy, and how it can flow freely only throughout a completely relaxed body, LeMay outlines a variety of stretches that show the influence of both yoga and ballet. The biggest difference between her program and the others is that the author does not expect one to achieve an ultimate specific position or degree of stretch. Each movement is to be made only as far as the individual's body continues to feel comfortable. Requiring less discipline than most other stretch or exercise programs, this one would be good for those beginning a fitness program or seeking quick at-the-desk relaxation techniques. Recommended where this type of material is needed.-Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, OH Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
