Description

Introducing Active-Isolated Stretching, a revolutionary flexibility program that's simple yet effective. This technique has been used by professional, amateur, and Olympic athletes to improve performance, increase flexibility, prevent injury, and feel better. The traditional way of stretching can actually make muscles tighter and more prone to injury, but Active-Isolated Stretching is different. By contracting the muscle opposite the isolated muscle, you'll relax it in preparation for its stretch, allowing for a gentle and quick release. This routine has outstanding results, and The Whartons' Stretch Book explains it all. With over 50 stretches for five body zones and specific prescriptions for 55 sports and activities, this book provides a comprehensive guide to Active-Isolated Stretching. Part I covers the Active-Isolated Stretch Catalog, while Part II offers tailored stretching solutions for various activities.
