Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Kindle EditionAll of the “Figures” used for illustrating the stretches do not appear in the Kindle edition. Makes it hard to impossible to know if you are doing the stretches correctly Otherwise seems to be a very useful book..Update: reloaded file, pictures now visible, one star because some pictures are cut off on the right side.

⭐This is my favorite book on stretching and I have read many. The book covers and answers all the questions (why, when, how, how often, etc.). There are more then enough stretches for all parts of the body and they are explained in an easy-to-follow format and accompanied by pictures of real people. Stretching is great for the body and mind and should be done everyday; this book will help you learn how to do it easily and efficiently!

⭐As I get older I feel an increased need to stretch ( not something I have thought much about over the years ). This book is a great way to learn the basics to get started and then increase knowledge and technique over time.

⭐Haven’t read it yet, but you can’t go wrong with the For Dummies books. Great price & it was in great condition.

⭐There’s lots of good basic information here on basic stretching when starting a program. Valuble information on why and how to do things correctly so as not to injure or discourage yourself.

⭐Now I know stretching is AWESOME – I only wish I would have found this book years ago! I had put on a “few” pounds this last year and I was not happy that I could still squeeze into my clothes but with the dreaded MUFFIN-TOP. . . which is SO unacceptable for me after a lifetime without it. After a few days of JUST STRETCHING, my muffin has been shrinking and my self esteem has been growing. Thanks, I needed that. I REALLY really NEEDED that. Bless you for sharing such sweet knowledge!

⭐I like’d “Stretching for 50+” and this adds the details and techniques.Very thorough, very sensible. I recommend this for any age (I’m 67).Cool beans.

⭐Straight to the point, quickly clears up misconceptions and then proceeds to explain in detail and in an organized sequential mannera great variety of stretching exercises.

⭐Book looks like printed back in the 70s binned it

⭐Good

⭐The book was in the exact condition as described. Most of the exercises I know but this book helps me to organise a routine whether I have 5 minutes ir half an hour….and reminds me of exercises I had long since forgotten. Quick delivery too.

⭐Excellent reference book and usefull for specific muscle groups. Probably not a book that you would read from beginning to end!

⭐I don’t personally like the exercises in this book,they all seem to be awkward on my body.
