Ian King understood early-on the massive contribution of
flexibility to the physical preparation of athletes. He then
developed and integrated balanced and successful flexibility
philosophies and methods through decades of training elite
athletes.
These
successful philosophies and methods are now available to you
through this program! The Flexibility Training Series teaches
you Ian's unique approach to flexibility training. The level is
basic to intermediate, aimed for the end user, new-comer to the
industry or athlete. In fact, this program was designed to
support a group of athletes traveling to the World Cup in their
sport – so they could take ‘The Master’ with them! This program
has benefited many people by guiding their flexibility training!
The program
includes an overview of basic applied theory including:
·Historical and
contemporary perspectives of stretching.
·Levels of
stretching.
·Benefits of
stretching.
·Key works and
concepts.
·Types of stretching
and keys to successful stretching.
The program also
includes a practical instruction of stretching exercises that
can be performed individually and in pairs. Stretching exercises
for the whole body are used, and the practical instruction is
provided with a real training session approach, so you can
perform your training session to the program, with Ian King as
your coach!
What others have said
about the Flexibility Training Series!
I really liked the
flexibility series! The routines you go through were
just what I was hoping to get out of the program -
something I can use for myself.
I thought the first
part was a great introduction to flexibility training,
and the benefits to be gotten out of it. We have all
read how big you are on flexibility training - this tape
tells us why, the other sections show us how. It serves as
a good pre-requisite to the other sections.
Part 2 gets into the
practical stuff, giving a good whole body routine that
anyone can (and probably should, at some time) follow.
Some of the stretches were new to me (I hadn't seen them
in any books previously), and I liked it how you 'do it
with Ian', kind of like one of those cheesy aerobics
videos - apart from this isn't cheesy. - Good stuff (and
good value for money).
The stretches
in the third part are to be done with the aid of a partner -
'partner stretches'. These are slightly more advanced
than the stretches on the previous tape as a form of PNF
stretching is used. This sectio provides the viewer with
some good alternatives to the other sections to add variety
to their flexibility routines, which is important.
A
great series for strength and conditioning coaches,
personal trainers etc. Definitely a thumbs up!

Ian's way could save
your joints an keep you and/or your clients playing for
years to come.

After watching your
program I have really changed my views on flexibility
training – what an eye-opener. I just finished a one
hour flex session and I can already see improvement with
your methods - and I am only half way through the
series!
--Scott
My reward for 12
months plus of consistent stretching and 3-4 months of
working on squat form is now a great, Coach King form
squat! Now, I can begin to get the benefits of
increasing loads.
