Flexibility is often an overlooked part of getting and staying fit. We spend time doing resistance exercises and cardio and from time to time a few stretches. But flexibility is something only fans of yoga and similar activities take seriously. Yet it's very important to be flexible. For one thing, it's easy to get injured if we lack flexibility.
In this new book by fitness expert Jay Blahnik, you'll learn the three-step method for flexibility, mobility, and strength. It's full of colorful instructions that will make your workouts easy and fun. In many cases you'll see two views so you really understand the exercise or stretch. I did some of these and they're fun and feel really great.
