Stretching For Dummies covers everything a reader needs to know to get started on a safe, healthy, and practical stretching regimen. The book introduces readers to the benefits of stretching, and provides an array of practices for all levels and situations. Not only does the book cover the well-known and traditional stretches that typify the depth of most peoples stretching experience, but it also includes sections on specific stretches for target areas (such as stretches to relax the back), quick and covert stretches to relieve computer-desk stress at work, simple around-the-house stretches portrayed in everyday situations, anywhere stretches for airplanes and car trips, and stretching as a method of injury prevention for athletes of all levels. The book features sample stretching routines covering static and dynamic stretches, plus special considerations and guidance for pregnant women, seniors, and those with mobility challenges.
