\nLoosen up tight muscles and stiff joints with more than 100 stretches designed to keep you flexible, energized, and pain-free. \n \nAs home working becomes the new normal, we are all at risk of 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 their maximum mobility. \n \nLook no further than Science of Stretch for a complete home course in stretching, no gym membership required. \n \nThe book begins by examining the latest research on the benefits of static, dynamic, and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) modes of stretching and explains how best to integrate them into your day--and use them safely in a sports context, alongside warm-ups and exercise sessions to enhance performance. \n \nThe 100 most effective stretches for every part of the body are then anatomized in detail, using CGI artworks to show how each muscle is correctly activated and each joint aligned. \n \nFinally, a series of suggested stretch routines are outlined, each with a progressive increase in challenge and tailored to different abilities and fitness objectives--alongside the tools to create your own bespoke workouts. \n \nWhether you're taking a walk around the park or running a marathon, Science of Stretch will help you stay flexible, avoid injury, and keep active.\n
