Regular readers will know that I like to hike and climb. One book I have found essential in these endeavours is a decent book on stretching. My favourite book is Bob Anderson's book, Stretching which has been released in a 20th anniversary revised edition. It is only 9 quid and a bargain.
Clearly written and explained with simple line drawings, he explains how to do each stretch and what you should feel. He covers about 15 sports in the first edition I have, the newer version should cover more.
If you go to the gym, hike, run climb or bike then buying this is a great idea. I've recommended it to several people and they all like it.

Boy - have I tried to take it to heart - for something llike 15 years now I have tried to streatch my way to flexibility and here I am at 43 like a several planks of mdf nailed together - bugger!
I bought this at a car boot sale. Didn't do me any good. Something to do with putting it down on another stall some 60 seconds later and leaving it there. Bugger went and sold it... Must get it again as its highly acclaimed & I still ache!
