Synopsis

In THE GENIUS OF FLEXIBILITY, author Bob Cooley presents a compelling sixteen-stretch regimen that far surpasses the results of conventional stretching. This breakthrough system features Bob's signature resistance stretching and shows readers how to tap into the energy pathways within the body while strengthening and elongating the muscles. Resistance stretching is achieved by contracting a muscle while stretching it, enhancing the stretch and resulting in a greater range of motion. Bob Cooley's system is made up of sixty-four stretch movements presented in four distinct levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced and assisted advanced. These stretches help you connect with your higher psychological self. Best of all, these stretches can vastly improve any physical fitness training, anywhere, anytime, and his no-pain method prevents over-stretching.

Review:

"The best trainers in the world have put their hands on me from Sweden to Japan. And nobody knows what Bob knows." (Charles Austin, 1996 Olympic Gold Medal High Jumper)

"It is my strong impression that you have uncovered an entirely new discipline of healthcare." (Dr. Joseph Mercola)

"Without the flexibility training that Bob developed for me, I could have never accomplished the five Olympic medals I won in Sydney....I also know that Bob's program single-handedly developed me psychologically in very specific ways. With this mental edge, I felt unbelievable. There was no part of me that wasn't improved....What he has figured out about stretching no one knows yet. The world will give Bob the Gold." (Dara Torres, Olympic Gold Medalist)

"I do not think that I could have made my fourth Olympic Team without Bob's help. Thank you, Bob, for allowing me to feel and perform better than I ever thought possible." (Eric Flaim, four-time Olympian Speed Skater)

"What Bob has created is not a trend -- it will change the way the world will exercise forever!" (Joni Evans, Senior Vice President, William Morris Agency)
