Encyclopedia of Joint Mobility Starring Steve Maxwell, 8 Volumes of Instruction on 3 DVD's

World Class Fitness Trainer and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blackbelt Steve Maxwell takes you through an incredible journey of Joint Mobility Drills designed to strengthen, protect and improve your joint health from head to toe through range of motion. Your body will realize its full potential as a well oiled machine by adding these important exercises to your routine. A must have for any athlete looking to gain the upper hand against injuries and body wear and tear.
This is a good and comprehensive guide to mobility. Maxwell makes a point, mainly practically, that mobility is to be preferred to stretching, since dynamic movements including muscle effort, makes for a healthier, less riscy and more functionable form of mobility. The DVD is divided in to three parts and addresses all major (and a lot of minor ones as well) joints and directions of movement. I would say it's greatest strength is that it is excellent for preventing damage to the body. It probably has a lot of curative functions as well, and according to Maxwell himself, who has taken a lot of injuries through his career, it is what keeps him goin and moving. I think the only weak point of this is that it is a bit overwhelming, and can be hard to know exaclty what to use and not. This is mainly due to it's encycopedic nature, and not in it self bad. It's just not completely user friendly. But if you're looking for a comprehensive guide to mobility movements/training this is an excellent alternative, and could probably be used with the same level of efficency by complete beginners and athletes, as you can work your way to the more difficult exercises, little by little, or just focus on your area of priority.It's maybe not innovative to the extreme, but it compensates by being trustworthy, thorough, and as said, very comprehensive. So the only reason it's not getting top character, is that it isn't fantasically userfriendly, and not exeptionally original. Still recomend it to about everybody, regardless of age, sex or mobilitylevel, as you'll be hard pressed not to find anything usefull in here. I sure did! <<< Read more comment for Encyclopedia of Joint Mobility Starring Steve Maxwell, 8 Volumes of Instruction on 3 DVD's... >>>
