Did you know that stretching your body properly can give you better health and performance?

It’s true. Most people have a huge misconception when it comes to stretching. Some people don’t do it at all, while others do a couple of token stretches and figure they’re set. But what if you could virtually eliminate the muscle pain after a workout? Just by stretching?

It’s true! And we can also eliminate the pain on your wallet. Buy the Stretching Handbook and you’ll receive a 100% money back guarantee! That’s right. If you’re a member at Geelong’s Gym we’ll take the cost of the book off your membership payments. If you’re not a member, we’ll take the cost of the book off off your new membership when you sign up. All you need to do is bring in your proof of purchase. But back to the stretching…

A regular stretching program can lengthen your muscles and make your daily activities so much easier. Just think, no more easing yourself down, centimetre by centimetre, onto the couch after that run you went for or that step class.

Stretching is something anyone of any age can do and the best thing is, you can do it while watching the TV, working on the computer or getting ready for bed.

A good stretch before your exercise will do wonders for your workout!

Here are just a few of the incredible benefits you’ll receive from regular stretching:

Reducing muscle tension
Increased range of movement in the joints
Enhanced muscular coordination
Increased blood circulation
Increased energy levels

And if you really want to know about a full range of stretches for every part of your body, complete with step by step photos to walk you through each stretch, then I cannot recommend highly enough The Stretching Handbook.

1 Percent Improvement Is Easy

As a member of Geelong’s Gym, you know that consistency is the key to getting results. Dr Marc Dussault’s concept of the 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine is simple and straight-forward to understand and apply when you KNOW what to do. 1 Percent Improvement is NOT about doing something, but IMPROVING it 1 percent at a time. For example, if you are at work and you’re sitting down for 5 or 6 hours at your desk, a 1 Percent Improvement could be to…

Get up and stretch every hour – even if its’ only for 1 minute. It will revitalise your muscles and invigorate you to work better – BUT and there’s always a BUT… You actually have to do the stretching otherwise you THINK about 1 Percent Improvement, but unless you DO IT, you won’t get the result…

Not sure how to stretch? Guess what? We’ve made it easy for you to learn how to stretch safely without pulling any muscles with the Stretching Handbook.

Get your copy now and get started today by learning stretches you can do at work THIS WEEK.

I know this sounds simple because it is.

You know how hard it was to come to the the gym the first time… and the second and third time…

In fact I am sure you’ll agree it took about 3 weeks for you to really feel GOOD about it and then start to LOOK FORWARD to coming in…

That’s called creating a positive habit and even a positive addiction.

It all starts with 1 Percent…

I’d love to hear YOUR 1 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT HEALTH AND FITNESS IDEAS.

Think You Have Powerful Legs?

If you think you have powerful legs, consider this test of EXPLOSIVE POWER… Every once in a while someone ‘thinks’ of doing something out of the ordinary to prove a point. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS and DON’T PRACTICE actually doing it on the edge of the pool – try to jump to get your feet out of the water in THE MIDDLE OF THE POOL first – if you can’t do that, you’ll never get to this level AND you’ll keep your front teeth!
