Do your joints ache and feel stiff every morning? Is it getting harder to bend over to pick up items on the floor or to tie your shoes up? Did you know that nearly 27 million Americans suffer from the same problem?
This book outlines a simple set of exercises that can help anyone suffering from stiff joints or worried about decreasing mobility. Most people start to get stiffer in their 40's and 50's and these deceptively simple exercises can help maintain and improve mobility.
The author damaged his knees in his early 20's and spent over 30 years exploring Chinese and Japanese healing systems.
"How to increase flexibility" is a short set of exercises that condenses the best joint exercises into 3 simple sets which can be practised in as little as 10 minutes. They combine exercises from Tai Chi and Chi Kung. As well as stretching, these sets also incorporate spiralling exercises that help to strengthen the tendons supporting your joints.
Although largely ignored by Western exercise systems, your tendons are the key to long term joint health. If you look after these, your joints can stay healthy into old age.
Regular practice will start to minimise or fix joint stiffness. However, these are also designed to gently improve your flexibility. These are suitable for most people regardless of their age or stature. And it's perfect for anyone who's not capable of vigorous exercise but still wants a big boost in their mobility. No Human Pretzel Yoga exercises here.
These exercises are grouped into 3 sets which are designed to:
1. Loosen your hips and back. It gently opens up the discs in your lower back.
2. Massages your kidneys which according to Chinese medicine are the key to living longer.
3. Help to re-educate your lower back into a more natural position and reduce back ache
4. Strengthen and loosen each of the major joints in your body even if you have limited mobility to start with.
5. Strengthen your tendons.
6. Helps to break up calcium deposits in your joints, one of the reasons that you joints may pop & click.
The exercises in "How to increase flexibility" take just a few minutes to do and have been tested by hundreds of students in the UK. You can do these in the comfort of your own home, or even outside. They also don't need any equipment or much space.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This book is intended to help people with stiffness,
arthritis and mobility problems. It presents a set of exercises that help to
gently regain your flexibility.
It is not a book on extreme flexibility, it is a book on
keeping your mobility as you get older.
Also these exercises are deliberately simple, easy to learn
and effective. That way they help the greatest number of people, particularly
if you would struggle to do something like Yoga in the first place. There are
plenty of books about complicated flexibility exercises for athletes, gymnasts
and martial artists. This book is not about this.
Despite being simple, these exercise are not common sense
either. If they were, everyone would be doing them. In fact, they could be
called, "Not so common sense".
If you have any doubts, please do not buy this book.
Please read this carefully before purchasing this book. If
this is not what you are looking for, there are plenty of other good books on Amazon. This will save you your time & money and also spare
me from the damage caused by a 1-star review.
Leaving a review and complaining "HUGE
DISAPPOINTMENT. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE
DESCRIPTION SAID" Hurts everyone, particularly the people who would most
benefit from this book. There is a real upside to these exercises and I have successful
taught them to hundreds of people who have made major gains in getting the
mobility back.
