Delavier's Stretching Anatomy : Delavier, Frederic, Clemenceau, Jean-Pierre, Gundill, Michael: desertcart.in: Books Review: MY COD - but got 2011 edition instead 2012(latest).Since Books condition were good,I ignored edition issue. Review: One of these great books made the astute statement that stretching so that one is like a contortionist isn't an advantage, and is quite often a detriment. We are in the 2010's folks, not the 80's. Marathon masters don't stretch much which translates to more of plyometric, springy gait, a definite speed and energy advantage. Warming up is important ! And appropriate stretching for your sport. If you sit a lot, or do repetitive motions a lot of the day stretching will make your body feel great and reduce the chance of injury. Let Delavier's books SHOW you the proper way. Great illustrations ! Great information ! Good for beginners. Even better for intermediates and pros in that you can really see what you have been doing already. Some of these books have explanations about injuries and prevention. As they indicate they spell out exercises for different athletes to stress. I've been lifting for over 45 years and am astonished by what goes on in the weight rooms. Some of the "exercises" people do are useless, some are dangerous. Most people lift far too lightly to get all but incidental benefit. (That being said, if you are just starting out go light on the weights with proper form !!! One must train the ligaments and tendons first ! Those take longer to train than muscles.) To this end I have purchased several of these to be put in the weight training and stretching areas of the gym I use just so people can "see" what they are doing and to learn other ways to do it. Ahnold said, "I get ten times the results when I visualize the mahcells I am training ! " He should know ! . . . Additionally, research has shown that people get more benefit from aerobic training when they don't distract themselves with Ipods or TV.. Just a thought.

What a book, it has great illustrations for every exercise showing each muscle being used to tone the body. I am very pleased with this book as part of my collection (of books) involving getting myself fit again after a long period of inactivity. All books from Amazon have given me great idea's of a safe way to do this. Bargain Prices Highly recommend ARRIVED much sooner than expected
