Staying Supple

A well-known weight-loss guru has said, "The motivation is in the doing." In other words, to persist at a diet, an exercise program, or any other behavior, there must be some pleasure or reward that comes from the performance of that behavior. This is the difference between Staying Supple and other stretching books. Jerome emphasizes that stretching is something we all do to some extent, whenever it feels good. He outlines an approach to stretching that builds on this natural impulse. The result is a "program" that you follow for the sheer pleasure of it.
