4.0 out of 5 stars Review for Kindle version, June 19, 2011

By 

Candy Franklin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stretch Deck (Kindle Edition)

Although I've been into exercising and working out for years, I never really put much notice into stretching.

I got this along with The 5-Second Flat Belly Secret - Lose 2-3 Inches from Your Belly in Less Than 1 Month for Kindle in order to become more flexible and get a flatter waist area.

I'm happy to say that after 5 weeks I'm way more flexible, my posture is a lot better, and my belly and waistline have become a lot more toned. This is a good buy.

This review is from: The Stretch Deck: 50 Stretches (Cards)

Having begun with Bob Anderson's stretching book, I came to find it cumbersome so sought and found these user friendly cards. It's so much easier to vary a routine just changing your little card stack and the info is concise but thorough. The cards are on heavy stock so should stand repeated use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic stretches with good instruction, April 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Stretch Deck: 50 Stretches (Cards)

I picked this up the the other day so I could explore some other stretching options. I like the basic illustrations on the rear of each card that demonstrate how the stretch is to be done. The front of the card contains information on how to do the stretch, how many times you should do it and a tip that might be who the stretch is good for, or a referral to another helpful stretch. You can pick several cards for each stretching session.

The pamphlet that comes inside describes the benefits of stretching, how you should approach stretching and some pre-defined stretching groups of cards for specific lifestyles, i.e: office workers, golfers, etc. . .
