Review: A fantastic book on stretching for anyone 50 years and older. - Even though I am well into my senior years the martial arts and combat physical fitness (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, MMA, weight training, circuit training. Military/SEAL fitness programs and many others) training has always been part of my regular working out routines. One of the many things that come with normal aging is the range of motion decreases even when you keep yourself in good physical condition. When I saw this interesting and informative 136 page soft cover book (Stretching for 50+ A customized program for increasing flexibility, avoiding injury and enjoying an active lifestyle by Dr. Karl Knopf) I decided to purchase it. It was delivered in a short time and even though I have many years of experience in doing numerous stretching and flexibility exercises; nevertheless, I learned a lot from reading this book and working on many of the stretching movements. This book is aimed at those of us over 50 years old and I am way beyond that young age (oh to be 50 again!) at this time. This excellent manual is organized into three parts. Part one covers flexibility and aging, tune in to your body, how to stretch and flexibility self-evaluations. Part two focuses on specialized program, general flexibility, novice, wake-up routine, chronic conditions, recreational pursuits and daily activities. The final part of this book shows the numerous types of stretching movements to do for your neck, shoulders, chest area, forearm, wrist, hands, lower back region, upper legs, lower legs, feet and ankles. If are a senior fitness enthusiast and need help in learning and doing stretching and flexibility exercises this book is for you. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated Tai Chi/Qigong/Yoga stretching for seniors and the physically challenged).
Review: Tells you which stretches to do and NOT DO based on your pain/injuries—VERY HELPFUL! - The best thing about this book is that it not only tells you which stretches to do, but also which to NOT DO based on your pain or injuries, such as back, knee, neck, or hip issues. This is VERY HELPFUL! The illustrations and explanations are very clear, and are large enough that you can set the book down open and still see the directions while performing the stretch. Helpful at any age, but all over 50, 60, 70+ in my opinion, might benefit from it. It is a long-running offering via Tufts Medical newsletter also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Difficult to follow organizationally.
*by P***S on August 31, 2023*

Although the book had several stretches that were helpful, many of them were a little TOO easy, at least for me. I'm 67 and still quite active, although I have lapsed a bit in my daily routine and found myself unable to touch my toes recently. I was horrified by that and needed a book/routine to help me get more motivated. I opted for a different book to challenge me a bit more, plus the organization of was more to my liking. This book is good, don't get me wrong; it just wasn't for me.
