Excellent instructional book

This book clearly shows the stretching moves, postures and techniques necessary for safe and effective stretching. It then follows up with sports and body specific stretches to help you do the proper stretching for the activity you will be performing.

Stretching by Bob Anderson

This is an excellent book. It gives very clear and simple illustrations for how to stretch. There are outlines of general stretching routines as well as stretching for specific areas of the body or for specific activities (cycling, running, etc.). I love the simplicity of this book - it is very easy to pick up and use.

Stretching Review

Bob Anderson covers a tremendous number of stretches of all sorts. The descriptions are very good, and the line drawings are excellent. I have two quibbles though:
1) Bob has quite a few stretches that involve extreme folding of the knee joint, a very difficult positions for anyone with knee problems. I wish he would have optional stretches that didn't involve the knee being bent so much.
2) Bob categorizes his stretches by the area of the body that is stretched. It would be helpful to consistently list the muscle(s) stretched in the index so, for example, if one needed to stretch out her/his psoas muscle, one could simply look up the stretches that will do that.
In spite of these, I use the book every day, it is well worth the purchase price.

Great sets of exercises, organized sport by sport

This book was recommended to me 20 years ago by a friend. At the time, I was a weekend warrior playing on a softball team, and my friend was a very experienced weighlifter and martial artist. The sport-by-sport organization is really useful, and the illustrations for each stretch are simple but easy to follow. I also like that the part of the body where you should feel the stretch is covered with dots, making it easy to identify. I recently gave the book as a gift to a couple I know: a police officer in his late 30s who plays rugby on the weekends, and his wife, a runner who has also taken up horseback riding. They both love it. I highly recommend STRETCHING for anyone who plays or trains for any sport--especially if you are just getting into the sport, know you should stretch more than you do, or you just really can't risk injury.
