Two good stretching books

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Mobility and stretching are very important, if not more important, then working out in the journey to good fitness.

Two books I highly recommend:

1. The genius of flexibility by Bob Cooley

http://www.amazon.com/The-Genius-Flexibility-Stretch-Strengthen/dp/0743270878/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382630726&sr=8-1&keywords=genius+of+flexibility

2. Supple leopard by Kelley Starrett

http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-Preventing-Performance/dp/1936608588/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382630649&sr=8-1&keywords=supple+leopard

You will thank me for these. Trust me.

Both are excellent and part of my daily "study." You can find both on Amazon. Good flexibility and mobility improves the overall quality of life and also makes fitness easier, more enjoyable and joyful. Definitely look into them as an augmentation to your fitness goals.

Cheers!

I'm going to look these books up. I got in the floor the other night to stretch and my goodness I was so tight it was pitiful. Thanks!

Fiddle, are these books easy to read? Meaning, do they have a lot of big medical words that I would have to look up? Also, do they have a lot of diagrams to show how to do the stretches?

Both books are very assessable in their literary style. There are plenty of diagrams, at least one per exercise / stretch. I think you will find them very useful.
