BOOKS & MORE: Everything about stretching

"Danes don't lie," is the classic line from Otto. The same goes for stretching. Shortening is immediately visible and recognizable, you can't lie about it. And it also affects your athletic performance: stretching is important and is part of the basics. This book deals with that.

If you call yourself the "Bible," you have to offer a lot. That's the content.

And that's the detail. Exercises that are very well described and illustrated.

Depending on where you want to do what, everything is there.

And that's also in different variations.

In addition to the exercises, there is also fundamental knowledge about muscle and good tips.

After that, there are individual programs. Here's one for overall flexibility...

... others are tailored to specific sports. This one is for American Football.

The book from the back.

CONCLUSION: Great book on an important topic that one should focus on when training intensively. Super illustrated and great texts. And don't worry, even though it's a civilian book, you can do it in your green tracksuit...
