Product Description:
See inside every stretch--and maximize
flexibility! Stretching Anatomy will arm you with the
knowledge to increase range of motion, supplement training, enhance
recovery, and maximize efficiency of movement. You'll also gain a
detailed understanding of how each stretch affects your body.
Stretching Anatomy is like having an X-ray
of each stretch, only better. Not only do you see full-color
illustrations of the muscles in action, but you also find out how
changes in position can alter the muscle emphasis and difficulty and
how variations can improve safety and effectiveness. |

Product Description:
Stretching before you exercise or engage in
sports can actually cause fatigue and damage to your body by
putting undue stress on soft tissue, maintains Blahnik. Yet "a
good warm up," he argues, "can in fact reduce the risk of injury
prior to a workout if the warm-up is designed appropriately for
the workout that follows." In this stretching guidebook, the
fitness consultant, whom Shape magazine named one of the
country's top five exercise instructors, emphasizes the
importance of variety, strength and balance for increased
flexibility, performance, and comfort in the workplace, home, or
on the football field. Following an introduction that clarifies
essential terms and concepts for the beginner, the book provides
an assortment of stretching exercises, complete with
explanations and illustrations, for all parts of the body.
Chapter six presents challenging workouts based on yoga poses,
which require strength and superior flexibility, and later
sections specify the best exercises for different sports. For
those who have a limited amount of time to devote to fitness
routines, Blahnik organizes 10-, 20-, and 40- minute workouts as
well as morning and evening stretch routines. Though perhaps a
bit rudimentary, this volume should help novices reach their
physical health goals. |

Product Description:
In the revolutionary Somatics, Thomas
Hanna demonstrates that so many problems we accept as inevitable
over time--chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue,
and even high blood pressure--need never occur if we maintain
conscious control of nerve and muscle, a state which Hanna calls
sensory-motor awareness. This gentle, lifelong program can help
almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body
indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day. |

Product Description: In the
1970s and the 1980s, developments in the valuation of
capital-investment opportunities based on options pricing
revolutionized capital budgeting. Managerial flexibility to adapt
and revise future decisions in order to capitalize on favorable
future opportunities or to limit losses has proven vital to
long-term corporate success in an uncertain and changing
marketplace.
In this book Lenos Trigeorgis, who has helped shape the field of
real options, brings together a wealth of previously scattered
knowledge and research on the new flexibility in corporate resource
allocation and in the evaluation of investment alternatives brought
about by the shift from static cash-flow approaches to the more
dynamic paradigm of real options -- an approach that incorporates
decisions on whether to defer, expand, contract, abandon, switch
use, or otherwise alter a capital investment.
Comprehensive in scope, Real Options reviews current
techniques of capital budgeting and details an approach (based on
the pricing of options) that provides a means of quantifying the
elusive elements of managerial flexibility in the face of unexpected
changes in the market. Also discussed are the strategic value of new
technology, project interdependence, and competitive interaction.
The ability to value real options has so dramatically altered the
way in which corporate resources are allocated that future textbooks
on capital budgeting will bear little resemblance to those of even
the recent past. Real Options is a pioneer in this area,
coupling a coherent picture of how option theory is used with
practical insights in into real-world applications. |
