| Summary |
At one time, stretching was viewed as a practice to be done before a workout, a run, or other physical activity. Today, our understanding of stretching has expanded. The practice not only improves general fitness and flexibility, it also increases circulation, calms the mind, fends off injuries and illness, and can even aid in getting a better night's sleep. In this book, highly detailed anatomical illustrations demonstrate 50 common stretches and show exactly what happens in the body during each one |
