Stretching - Mobility and Flexibility

by Mihaela Varga

Overview

We are born with a set of motor skills and abilities. During our lives, we improve and expand those skills through physical activity. This book is an attempt to bring simple exercises into the comfort of your home.
This book incorporates 108 exercises with simple instructions and illustrations for easy understanding, divided into 3 sections: Stretching from a standing position, Stretching from a sitting position and Stretching from a lying down position.
You will also find four exercises to test your mobility (it would be ideally to perform them in the beginning and then repeat them after a few weeks of daily stretching sessions). You will definitely notice an improvement.
In the second part of the book there's a brief glossary of medical and sports terminology, advice and a less than exhaustive list of benefits of stretching.
