"Conventional stretching attempts to literally elongate your tissues, which is dangerous and ineffective.Relax into Stretch simply teaches your muscles to relax into a stretch.If you compare traditional training to a messy hardware reorganization, then Relax into Stretch is an efficient software upgrade.

While stretching tissues may take years, changes in the nervous system are immediate! Your muscles will start noticeably elongating from your first Relax into Stretch practice and within months you will have achieved a level of flexibility uncommon to our species."

-Pavel Tsatsouline

"You have to be careful throwing superlatives around when talking about a new idea or product lest you be mistaken for a brainless, giddy cheerleader. I tell you truly that 'Relax Into Stretch' is superb; I'd run out of superlatives and might sound like a cheerleader so I won't go the traditional praise route. Why is this book so important to the fitness community? Stretching has always been associated with anyserious fitness effort and Tsatsouline's approach to this old discipline is fresh and unique and thought provoking.

Best of all, this DVD combines philosophic insight with in-your-face reality as Pavel shares with the reader 'drills' that turn you into what this former Russian Spetznaz instructor calls ' a flexibility mutant'.What red-blooded American fitness devotee wouldn't aspire to mutation? This DVD supplies both the road map and the methodology. Don't ask to borrow my copy."
