Stretching, 20th Anniversary Revised Edition

All athletes can benefit from better flexibility, and this guide will show you how to get there. Those thinking about getting into yoga may also want to start with this book.

This is a great book. I am a massage therapist and I refer to it often. I show the very simple, yet effective pages that apply to their condition with positive results.

It is simple and very effective. Great book!

Stretching by Bob Anderson covers all aspects of stretches for many different sports and needs. Excellent drawings to show you how to do each stretch correctly, for both men and women to use.

I purchased this book back in 1988 London England. I have used this book on and off for almost 20 years. The drawings are clear, the text informative. The stretches are broken into activities, such as stretches for running, hiking, biking, swimming, sitting at your desk. Its really very useful.

Because of this book I have not injured myself exercising. Stretching is now a part of my life, and I owe it all to Bob and his fantastic book.

I was just asked about stretching and so recommended this book (as I have done many times over the years), I noticed a 20yr anniversary version is available. I'll probably get it, as my copy is pretty dog-eared now.

Great book for beginners, and as a reference.

For beginners, this book has thorough instruction on hundreds of different types of stretches, and even goes into detail about a certain set of stretches perfect for ANY activity.
I HIGHLY recomend this book for people that are wanting to gain flexibility but are not quite yoga material (yet!)
