Stretch Into the 21st Century: An Introduction to Lastics & Supplement to the DVD

A guide that shows you how to get the most from the Lastics® technique in Donna Flagg's DVD, Lastics: A Stretch Workout Like No Other. Stretch Into the 21st Century introduces and explains the popular technique and also offers a stretch-by-stretch guide that accompanies the workout in the video. In addition to providing the most common corrections Donna makes while teaching her class, there is also a section to help you track improvements, not only in your flexibility, but in your overall well-being too. In the book Donna explains why traditional stretching methods don't work. Popular myths are busted such as why holding a stretch for a fixed amount of time misses the point, why dynamic and static stretching net the same underwhelming results unless you learn one simple concept, and why using straps to stretch rob your body of the opportunity to develop the independence it needs to move freely. You will also learn: • Why conventional stretching so often fails to increase flexibility • How Lastics retrains the body to stretch in a way that gets results • What is wrong with how stretching is researched and the way it is taught • How stretching can improve your relationship with your body and overall sense of wellness
