Latest reviews of Stretching & Flexibility: Learn to Stretch Without Yoga app for iPhone and iPad
Exactly what I need to help me stretch at home. Great work.
This app appears to be great - but after each and every time you stretch a part of your body you have to go select the next video to stretch the next part. No where in the info does it say this - I dont want to spend my time stretching, going back and forth to my device selecting the next video.
Ill write it both in English and Russian: its the most helpful and professional stretching videos Ive ever seen. There are all kinds of exercises for all the cases: some of them are very fast and can be done anywhere, some are longer and require pillows etc (you dont have to buy anything special, all the things can be found in every home). Really cool. Its in English, but its pretty simple. По-русски: самые полезные и профессиональные видео по растяжке. Спокойные объяснения, очень хорошо все показано. Видео на инглише, но не сложно. Упражнения самые разные: и быстрые, которые можно делать где угодно, и более длинные, для некоторых нужны подушки и т.п. - то, что в любом доме есть. Очень рекомендую!
This is app is amazing! Neal goes through ever stretch with such detail and makes it so easy to comprehend. I hadnt a clue how many varying stretches there were that could help with daily flexibility or rehab for the acute or prolonged injury. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants to live a healthier and happier life. Thanks so much!
I wasnt sure what to expect when I downloaded this app. I found this app to be a creative and easy way to stretch. In the mornings I use this stretching and yoga motions to get me going. Love it!
