Beer Yoga with Granddude

This is pretty impressive flexibility and control for a 60 year old. You'll need to watch it beyond the 20 second mark to get a feel for what his approach is.

Help Stretching The Front of The Thigh (Quadriceps Femoris)

Yogaunited Yoga Belt (Ocean Green)

This is the band I was talking to a client about this past week.

If you have trouble stretching the front of the thigh because you can't reach your foot you may find this band useful. It's firm and sturdy.

Loop it around your foot and then you can pull your foot towards you to stretch your quadriceps..
Be careful the band can't slip off your foot.

Nutrition For Exercise Book

I've recently been reading this little book and I've found it an interesting read.

When there is so much misinformation and confusion around it is good to find a book that sets out the scientific facts about how the body works and how we need to nourish it.

As well as plenty of scientific references it also contains the details to work out exactly - how much of what you should be eating when - whichever sport you're interested in.

Even though the book contains facts and figures it is still an easy read and useful reference for anyone who wants to eat right for their exercise and sport.
