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.

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.

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.

Yoga is kinda complicated. And intimidating. But keeping fit and flexible is important for your body.

The Supple Body: The New Way to Fitness, Strength, and Flexiblity by Sara Black is the layman's solution. Anyone can do it!

Stretch and feel better easily every day with this fantastic book. Simple instructions with fantastic photographs illustrate how to properly stretch your body.

Whole body exercises and chapters targeting specific areas makes this the only daily fitness handbook I need. Plus, you only need space to lay down; no equipment needed!

Includes more and less advanced stretches as well as short to long routines. Keep your whole family fit, from preschooler to grandparent.

If you have tense muscles or stress, these simple yet gratifying exercises and stretches will leave you feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

Don't worry about this collecting dust; you WILL use this book and find yourself recommending it to everyone you know :)

This is a great book on suppleness. The routines range from area specific to 10, 20 30 minute routines. This book as been hard to find in my local store. I love this book - I've purchased one for a friend and am now purchasing for myself (again) and another friend. Clear instructions. I wish it were spiral bound though. My original book is all beat up from use, that's why the 2nd purchase.

The photography illustartions are superb!! The exercise instructions are easy to read and follow. This is a must have book!
