Summary: Not worth the paper it's printed on.
Review: I think my title pretty much says it. There are no stretches to do on a daily routine. They all apply to specific things like golf or tennis. I don't play golf or tennis.

Summary: Great resource guide for stretching
Review: This book is more than I expected. I only bought it hoping it would pinpoint the best stretching exercises to help in my bicycling. Besides getting sport-specific stretching suggestions, the book gives general stretching suggestions too. Chapter 1 walks you though a flexibility test for each general body part. Using the results of the test you can determine where you most need to improve on your flexibility. For example, if the flexibilty test determines that you need improvement in your hip area, the book refers you to which chapter or chapters of stretching exercises would most benefit you.

Summary: A great resource for all ages and levels !
Review: When I read the review by tjh, I was hesitant to buy the book. However, I decided to take a risk, and I'm glad I did.I am not a professional trainer, athlete, or physical therapist. I lead a sedentary lifestyle, my job requires that I sit all day, and exercise is not my favorite thing to do. As I have grown older, I have noticed the loss of flexibility. I am precisely the audience for which this book was written. I found this book to be extremely informative about the mechanics of how our muscles work, easy to understand and follow, and most importantly, effective in reducing many of the aches and pains associated with a sedentary lifestyle. And because I feel better, I am motivated to increase my previously minimal amount of exercise to walking 45 minutes each day. To the professional athlete, the stretching exercises may appear rudimentary. But for the average person, Chris Verna has assembled an easy-to-follow guide to identifying and improving individual fle! xibility for different body parts. The only way this book could be improved would be to include a 25-year old Trainer to come with it!
