Stretching is the most popular fitness book in the world, having sold
over 33/4 million copies in 40 years. It has been translated into 23
languages. In this new edition there are stretches for improving the bad
posture attributable to cell phone usage ("tech neck"), and for people
using computers.
This is the book that people tell their friends about, that trainers
suggest for virtually every sport and activity, and that medical
professionals recommend to people just starting to get back in shape.
Stretching first appeared in 1980 as a new generation of Americans
became committed to running, cycling, aerobic training, and workouts in
the gym -- all of which are commonplace now.
It features stretching routines specific to a variety of people,
including sports enthusiasts, travelers, children, gardeners, and people
in wheelchairs. There is a new section titled "Stretches for the Digital
World," with stretches for people using cell phones and/or computers, as
well as tips for better posture and stretches to do in an office
environment.
