Book Description

November 15, 1995
We all long for a fit body, one that is strong, flexible and firm...a body that's supple. Through a program of gentle exercise, "The Supple Body" guides you to that strength and flexibility. Drawn from a variety of Eastern and Western disciplines--including yoga, t'ai chi, and sports medicine--the simple stretching exercises in "The Supple Body" work together to help you achieve both physical well-being and inner relaxation. Easy-to-follow routines target specific areas, such as the back or the face, that most absorb tension, and exercise plans of ten, twenty, and thirty minutes make it easy to incorporate the program into even the busiest schedule. Striking photographs, enhanced by a beautiful design, take you step-by-step through each exercise, making "The Supple Body" a must for any wellness program.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST exercise book I have ever read., August 7, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Supple Body: The Way to Fitness, Strength, and Flexibility (Paperback)
The Supple Body is simply the best exercise book I have ever read. It is written in an easy-to-read style. There were plenty of photographs. This is the one book I would take with me anywhere. You don't need much space. ALL the exercises are do-able for an average person. The book combines stretching, yoga, and calisthenic exercises. No special equipment ( other than an ordinary kitchen chair ) is required. There are different routines to for varying time commitments and busy schedules. Even if you do other forms of exercise (weights, aerobics ), I would heartily recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, effective stretching routines, March 31, 2007
This review is from: The Supple Body: The Way to Fitness, Strength, and Flexibility (Paperback)
I had owned a copy of this years ago but misplaced it. I was happy to find a used first edition (1995) hard cover copy on Amazon. There is a 20 minute stretching in the back of the book that is great. Can't comment on current edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Will Use It, July 12, 2001
This review is from: The Supple Body: The Way to Fitness, Strength, and Flexibility (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. I have several different stretch books, as I find I need variety, but this and the NYC ballet are my favourites. Leave them lying around so your daughter remembers to give you your workout :) Wharton's is good too.
