Primal Endurance shakes up the status quo and challenges the overly stressful, ineffective conventional approach to endurance training. While marathons and triathlons are wildly popular and bring much gratification and camaraderie to the participants, the majority of athletes are too slow, continually tired, and carry too much body fat respective to the time they devote to training. The prevailing "chronic cardio" approach promotes carbohydrate dependency, overly stressful lifestyle patterns, and ultimately burnout.

In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.

The biggest paradox in golf is that the harder you try to hit the ball, the worse you do so. In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag. The result is increased distance and greater accuracy for all sizes, shapes, and ages of golfers for a minimum investment in learning time.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Lots of Great Stretches and Explained Very Nicely
I jad no problems finding some great new stretches for my lower back and hips. Those areas had been bothering me for quite some time and they are feeling much better after a week of stretching!
The narrator is great and it is easy to figure out exactly what to do with each stretch. My favorite stretches are the knee to chest stretch, cat stretch and the internal hip rotator stretch.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to feel better and be stronger.

More important than I thought
This audiobook definitely opened my eyes to the importance of stretching. From the very beginning, it stressed how vital it can be, not just for our physical endeavors, but for our day to day lives. With a wide range of detailed instructions, including the length of time a person should perform each stretch (something that I find I have difficulty determining), this book provides an extremely thorough overview of stretching as a form of physical activity in and of itself. Too often it is seen as an afterthought, and this book really brought it into the light. There are even routines to follow, so a person getting no started isn't overwhelmed! A great listen overall.

Great Book On Stretching;Learned Lots!
Stretching is simply lengthening your muscles and is very important. Stretching comes with many benefits including,improved balance and coordination,improved posture,prevention of injuries,reduction of muscle soreness,maximized flexibility and range of motion throughout your body. Failure to stretch also causes some effects like increased stiffness and soreness in your body.Over stretching can also cause permanent damage to your tendons. The good thing with stretching is that it is recommended for any age therefore age is not a limit. From this book,I have learned how to stretch properly. There are four categories of stretching that is the dynamic,ballistic,static and isometric. The topic on leg stretch is also great as tight leg muscles are a common problem among humans.Performing leg stretches on a daily basis can loosen tight muscles and prevent both pain and injuries.Grab your copy now and learn more on stretching. I highly recommend.

Stretches for all shapes and sizes
Would you listen to Stretching again? Why?
Absolutely. I plan to listen to it as many times as necessary to be able to repeat the stretches. Listening to how to perform the stretches makes things easier and more relaxing.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Stretching?
The most memorable moment for me was about back stretching. I have a slipped disc and am hesitant to stretch certain areas of my back. Mackey provides stretches for beginners, and this was helpful.
What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I think it is something about his tone and understanding. I feel like I paid for an expensive class and he is there helping me through it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Find your own stretch!
Any additional comments?
I learned a lot about the importance of warming up before stretching, and how different types of exercise/stretching can affect your body.

Essential book to have on stretching!
What did you love best about Stretching?
The detailed instructions in each section provide a clear outline on how to perform the numerous stretches given out in this book! Great book to have on stretching methods and techniques!
What other book might you compare Stretching to and why?
Any book out there on stretching and breathing techniques however among the ones I've read and listened to, this has to be one of the best. It breaks down each stretching practice fully yet simply!
Which character – as performed by Joshua Mackey – was your favorite?
There are no characters in this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to this book as per my need for stretching. Depending on how long my stretching session was determined how long I listened in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
I love any content on ways to build a healthier lifestyle and habits. When I first listened to this book and practiced some of the beginner stretches I immediately felt a difference in my overall clarity and energy levels. The stretches provided in this book are absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend this tile to anyone out there looking for a guide on proper stretching methods!

looking forward to a more flexible, pain-free body
Stretching is very important before you exercise, of course, in order to prevent injury to the body, but it also has other advantages, like making your body more flexible overall and for better health in general.
This book teaches you many different ways to stretch out your body, especially specific parts of your body, such as your hamstrings and calves. The exercises are given in step by step instructions so that you can follow along as you listen to the audio file, and includes the amount of time you need to do each and, if applicable, the number of breaths (e.g. holding a particular position for three to five breaths, which is often
also required in yoga).
I have been suffering through some left leg pain lately and a chiropractor told me I need to stretch it out regularly to keep the pain down, so this book is helping me to know which exercises work for that.

Stretching Can Help You Live a Healthier LIfe
If you could sum up Stretching in three words, what would they be?
If I could sum up "Stretching: The Top 100 Best Stretches of All Time," I would use these three words good:
Flexibility
Coordination
Circulation
Who was your favorite character and why?
Since this was a self help book about learning the best stretching before exercises, there were no characters. If you want to consider Joshua Mackey or Ace McCloud, then I would say they were both great. Ace for his writing, and Joshua for his narrating.
What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As usual with all of the books that Joshua Mackey has narrated, he brings excitement and interest to Ace's words.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Stretching, the Ultimate Tool for Overall Good Health."

Great for beginning athletes and stretchers
It goes pretty in depth over how to stretch numerous areas and body parts. Be prepared to invest in a lengthy amount of time to stretch as it will take upwards of an hour to fully optimize your stretches. The book itself does a good job of going over the pros and possible negative things that could happen if you do not utilize stretching which evidently can be a lot of things. I did not know there were different levels of stretching ability. The positive is that you can stretch no matter how athletic or experienced you are. The book is filled with ways to help you increase strength, flexibility, and how to minimize risks.
