Stretching and Flexibility for Women

Susan M. Lark, M.D., one of the most respected women’s alternative medicine experts, has written this book to share with her readers the great stretching programs that she developed for her patients, family and friends.

Stretching exercises should be part of everyone’s fitness program. They create suppleness and flexibility in the body, improve circulation and oxygen levels to the organs and tissues and promote peace, calm and a balanced positive mood. Stretches enhance the youthfulness of the body and have anti-aging benefits. They also help to prevent muscular stiffness, tightness and soreness that women of all ages experience.

Stretching and Flexibility for Women provides you with:

• Stretching routines for joint flexibility, total body fitness, lower body flexibility, as well as a very beneficial energizing sequence that will increase your level of energy and vitality and enhance your sense of joy and calm.

• Helpful suggestions on how to motivate yourself to start a stretching program as well as how to begin your program.

• Easy to follow instructions on how to do each stretch and pictures that show how each stretch should be done.

• Very helpful self-quizzes that you can do before starting a stretching routine, to help pinpoint your current exercise habits, where you tend to localize muscle tension in your body, as well as symptoms that reflect lack of physical fitness and stamina.
