- Title: Flexibility Sets You Free!
|
Product Description: Flexibility Sets You Free!, the video version of the The Flexibility Manual (Reference the Amazon.com book site.), is for those who prefer to follow the example of "real people" performing exercises. Following along with the video, you will stretch almost every muscle in your body in a progressive, safe way. It is applied as a daily, whole body "systems check". This allows athletes and nonathletic individuals to be aware of the stresses of their activities and apply the corrective stretch(es) immediately . This is an approach to stretching unlike any you have learned in the past. It has been tested and proven successful by thousands of individuals and many organized sports teams in eliminating non-contact, muscle related injuries. Remember if you're injured you can't compete, and if you can't move, you can't improve! You must maintain the flexibility of your muscles in order to achieve the mobility of your body to move and perform. Mobility is life itself. You cannot survive without it. You cannot perform the simplest of daily activities without it. Your degree of mobility determines the quality of your life. Furthermore, contrary to what you are led to believe, loss of mobility is not a normal process of aging. It is a matter of neglect. What is so dynamic about the Sports Kinetics "Active" stretching method? It's a Do-It-Yourself method. It avoids the incomplete, potentially hazardous and ill-conceived procedures of traditional stretching: static force, bouncing, contorted positions, and the risk of force by a partner who can't feel your limits. "Active" stretching is totally under your control. It's a whole body method. Instead of stretching for a particular sport you prepare your entire body for any contingency/activity that presents itself. Each exercise is in a progressive sequence and the preceding one helps in achieving the next. How much is enough? "Active" stretching eliminates force. When you contract one muscle, it's opposing muscle relaxes. Because outside force is not used, voluntary contraction of a muscle can not overpower or injure its opposing muscle. Each exercise is performed comfortably or is deferred until it can be done so. It works -- in regaining and maintaining adequate flexibility which is so important for the pursuit of performance, fitness, and health. "MOTION IS LIFE" Hippocrates (c. 460 - 377 B.C.)
