Download or read book Moving Stretch written by Suzanne Wylde and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manage everyday pain with this effective, trainer-approved program that uses resistance stretching to increase strength, release tension, rejuvenate tissues—and much more. This accessible guide gives step-by-step instructions for people who feel tight or older than they should, people with poor posture, athletes who want to boost their performance, and those who want something more than conventional stretching. This book provides you with many different stretches for the whole body including the hands and feet, as well as routines for specific goals such as improving posture, helping office workers stay healthy, stretching the back, and more. Even those with sedentary lives will see and feel a difference, with just 10-20 minutes of stretching yielding benefits that may last the whole day. Many of us are limited in our movements, hunched over, or tight. Ideally, we would move in a variety of ways throughout the day, keeping our bodies fresh and youthful. However, office jobs and sofas can lead to bodies that are imprisoned in a cage of tension, whose tissue is dehydrated and stuck together, with some areas that are very weak or tight. Normal stretching is not strong enough to break us out of that state. When we tense our bodies and move through that tension, we engage the fascia and recondition it into a more youthful state, restoring great posture, elasticity, and power.

Download or read book The Whartons Stretch Book written by Jim Wharton and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Active-Isolated Stretching, the revolutionary yet remarkably simple flexibility program—featuring 59 stretches for over 55 different sports and everyday activities! Whether you’re a serious competitor or weekend warrior, you know that proper stretching before and after your workout can improve your performance, increase your flexibility, help prevent injury, and make you feel better. But did you know that the traditional way of stretching—lock your knees, bounce, hold, hurt, hold longer—actually makes muscles tighter and more prone to injury? There’s a new and better way to stretch: Active-Isolated Stretching. And with The Whartons’ Stretch Book, the method used successfully by scores of professional, amateur, and Olympic athletes is now available to everyone. This groundbreaking technique, developed by researchers, coaches, and trainers, and pioneered by Jim and Phil Wharton, is your new exercise prescription. The routine is simple: First, you prepare to stretch one isolated muscle at a time. Then you actively contract the muscle opposite the isolated muscle, which will then relax in preparation for its stretch. You stretch it gently and quickly—for no more than two seconds—and release it before it goes into its protective contraction. Then you repeat. Simple, but the results are outstanding. The Whartons’ Stretch Book explains it all. Part I contains the Active-Isolated Stretch Catalog, with fully illustrated, easy-to-follow stretches for each of five body zones, from neck and shoulders to trunk, arms, and legs—over fifty stretches in all. Part II offers specific stretching prescriptions for over fifty-five sports and activities, from running, tennis, track, and aerobics to skiing, skating, and swimming. You’ll also find advice on stretching for daily activities such as driving, working at a desk, lifting, and keyboarding. Part III discusses stretching for life, with specific recommendations for expectant mothers and older athletes. It also includes specific stretching exercises that could help you avoid unnecessary surgery. Give Active-Isolated Stretching a try for three weeks. You’ll never go back to your old stretching routines again.

Download or read book Stretchfit written by Anthony Lett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known presenter, teacher and top selling Pilates author Anthony Lett has cherry picked stretches from the disciplines of physical therapy, Osteopathy, Yoga, Pilates, martial arts and dance and trialled them over a 20-year period in his studio. Anthony has culled the fluff and leaves you with the safest and most effective material that works. 'No fillers, all thrillers' is the result! As well as presenting in 25 countries to health professionals on the subject of stretching, Anthony has worked with some of the world's best Karate champions, in Moscow with dancers from the Russian Bolshoi ballet, on thousands of wounded weekend warriors and even sheep shearers from outback Western Australia. All have benefitted from a body of work that is person oriented, not pose oriented. It's truly a work for "every body." He explains simply and with clarity how to use a "PNF" technique which fastbacks your flexibility gains and provides loads of stunning full color 3D anatomy images to assist you to understand the practice. The work has a focus on single joints and smaller groups of muscles so that there's no guessing about doing it right or feeling it in the right place. It's not stretching for dummies, but it's stretching that's hard to get wrong. There are simple and logical cues and images and a host of solo and partner stretches for each muscle group to explore, because although one stretch may be effective for one person, for various reasons like individual bone shape, it might not work for someone else. This realistic and pragmatic approach, honed by many years of experimentation on real bodies, ensures that in this book at least, you will find a collection of stretches just right for you!
