Release unhealthy tension and tightness from your muscles with an advanced stretching system tailored to how you move! The Full-Body Flexibility system blends the best stretching methods from yoga, Pilates, martial arts, and sports training into stretching sequences that -challenge muscles with multiple techniques to attain maximum flexibility,
-strengthen muscles so that they can support the body throughout specific moves in the entire range of motion, and
-balance muscles equally in opposing muscle groups and on both sides of the body. Stretch sequences are organized by body region and by type of movement so that you can quickly find a flexibility workout for performance, specific muscle relief, or recovery; or you can customize a sequence to your own special needs.

Summary: one of the best
Comment: this book is really, really great. A lot of the stretches are common, theres not a lot of new ones, just with little twists and new techniques. The real jem is assisted vs unassisted stretching, dynamic vs static and combining. balancing you strong and weak muscles. You'd never think you could sweat from stretcing. it gives great advice for athletes such as soccer players have strong calves and weak shins, so emphasixing shins is more important (lifting toes and holding it). I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: This is a pretty good book with tons of static and dynamic stretches for all muscle groups. It also contains several different stretching "routines" at the end of the book, which appear valuable.
The content is basic, but thorough, and I learned at least a few new stretches, which is why I bought the book.
My only complaint is that lots of the directions seem to be pretty vague and cryptic.
Pretty solid book.

Summary: more of the same
Comment: There are no new ideas or stretches here. Although doing these stretches regularly will work - I was looking for something a little more groundbreaking.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I Use This Book Every Day
Comment: I'm middle aged and was ordered by my doctor to exercise. I have to stretch to keep my lower back and shoulders and neck loose and to recover from aerobic exercise. The stretches in this book work to keep me flexible and loose. The descriptions are clear. I find the sets of stretches described in the last portion of the book useful: I do the 10-minute series after using the elliptical trainer and do the 20-minute series on my day off from aerobics. The book is inexpensive and you get very good value for the money.

Summary: Offering 10, 20, and 40 minute fitness routines; sport-specific sequences; and specialty stretch sequences
Comment: Athletes stretch before and after exercise sessions in order to warm up their muscles, prevent injuries, and cool down after their exertions. Personal trainer and fitness educator Jay Blahnik blends the best of yoga, Pilates, martial arts, and sports training in Full-Body Flexibility to create "user friendly" stretching sequences that anyone can safely use for warm-ups and cool-downs, as well as during the course of performing challenging workouts on their own. Blahnik operates with three key stretching principles in mind: Variety (challenging muscles with multiple techniques to attain maximum flexibility); Strength (ensuring that muscles can support the body throughout the entire range of motion); and Balance (developing equal strength and flexibility in opposing muscle groups on both sides of the human body). Offering 10, 20, and 40 minute fitness routines; sport-specific sequences; and specialty stretch sequences, Full-Body Flexibility is an ideal and recommended introduction for even the most novice of beginners, while also holding much of value for even the more experienced athlete and fitness enthusiast.
