The Anatomy Series: Anatomy of Stretching

More about the book

It doesn’t matter if you’re a fitness novice or an elite athlete. You should be starting each workout exactly the same way — with a stretching regimen designed to warm up your body and help you achieve a new personal best each time. But without the expertise of a professional trainer and without an expert’s understanding of muscle anatomy, it can be hard to know what exercises are best. Craig Ramsay is here to help! In <i>Anatomy of Stretching</i>, he brings the lessons learned in ten years as a trainer to celebrities and professional athletes and the star of Bravo’s <i>Thintervention</i> to everyone. You’ll learn when and how to do a tricep stretch and a shoulder stretch, when to avoid toe touches and hamstring stretches, and why it’s important to keep your neck relaxed during a hip flexor stretch. While taking you through each movement step by step, <i>Anatomy of Stretching</i> also goes beneath the skin to allow you to see just which muscles you are working during each stretch. Get limber — and get the most out of your workout — with <i>Anatomy of Stretching</i>!
