This book is perfect for stretching or a stretching/yoga workout. There is a detailed chart showing which stretches are for which muscles. More importantly there is a very well photographed, easy to follow direction for each stretch: one per page. In the back, you can choose from several stretching workout routines based on your goals (ie yoga-inspired, sports, etc.) and how much time you can commit (10-20 min. vs. 40+ minutes)... which is brilliant. I normally have 10-15 min. in the morning, and do the "Express" yoga routine, my back feels noticeably better all day and especially when I get up in the morning. I highly recommend this book - especially if you've always thought of trying yoga and don't care for the metaphysical BS that usually accompanies that.

Flexibility is often an overlooked part of getting and staying fit. We spend time doing resistance exercises and cardio and from time to time a few stretches. But flexibility is something only fans of yoga and similar activities take seriously. Yet it's very important to be flexible. For one thing, it's easy to get injured if we lack flexibility.
In this new book by fitness expert Jay Blahnik, you'll learn the three-step method for flexibility, mobility, and strength. It's full of colorful instructions that will make your workouts easy and fun. In many cases you'll see two views so you really understand the exercise or stretch. I did some of these and they're fun and feel really great.
Here's what you'll find in the book . . .
Part I Total-Body Stretch System
Chapter 1: Stretching Basics
Chapter 2: Three-Step Stretch System
Part II Regions of Flexibility
Chapter 3: Neck, Shoulders, Arms, and Hands
