Loosen tight muscles and stiff joints with over 100 stretches designed to keep you flexible, energized, and pain-free.

As working from home becomes the new normal, we risk seizing up, losing muscle functionality, and developing aches and pains from increased sedentary living. Yet, with a regular program of varied stretch workouts, everyone can reach and maintain maximum mobility.

Dive straight in to discover:
  • Specially commissioned CGI artworks depict 100 stretch exercises and variations that add or reduce challenge.
  • Artworks detail the mechanics of each exercise, correct body posture, the muscles involved, and how they engage to perform movements
  • Stretch workouts tailored to different abilities and aims provide suggested practices with a progressive increase in challenge over weeks and months

The book begins by examining the latest research on the benefits of static, dynamic, and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching modes. It explains how best to integrate them into your day – and use them safely in a sporting context, alongside warm-ups and exercise sessions, to enhance performance.
