"The Do-It-Now, Fast-Start, Get-Up-and-Go, Jump-into-Action Bible for High Performance and Longer Life"

You have a choice in life. You can sputter and stumble and creak your way along in a process of painful, slow decline—or you can take charge of your health and become a human dynamo.

And there is no better way to insure a long, pain-free life than performing the right daily combination of joint mobility and strength-flexibility exercises.

In Super Joints, Russian fitness expert Pavel Tsatsouline shows you exactly how to quickly achieve and maintain peak joint health—and then use it to improve every aspect of your physical performance.

Only the foolish would deliberately ignore the life-saving and life-enhancing advice Pavel offers in Super Joints. Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to a life of increasing pain, degeneration and decrepitude? But for an athlete, a dancer, a martial artist or any serious performer, Super Joints could spell the difference between greatness and mediocrity.

Customer Reviews

not worth your money
ninety percent of this book can be summed up in a few words: move your arm, elbow, neck, hip, etc. through a full range of motion, slowly and in both directions. that's pretty much it. doing this lubricates the joints with synovial fluid and it does make a difference, but most people were taught how to do this stuff in gym class. if you know how to do arm circles, ankle circles, wrist circles, hip circles and so forth, you don't need this book.

the second section of the book covers a little bit of dynamic stretching, which Pavel calls "active flexibility," but the movements are far from comprehensive.

for the price, this book should at least come with a DVD or something. if you are interested in increasing mobility, I would suggest getting Magnificent Mobility or an Ashtanga yoga video. you might also want to check out a video on Tai Ch'i Qigong warm ups, which are a more comprehensive approach to the same material.

rip off
This material could've been condensed down to a long brochure. Nearly the same info as found in 'Relax into Stretch' which I stupidly bought as a companion book (It is not more than a few good pages of info either)

very thin on factual information
Like many of Pavel's other books, this one could be written in 3 or 4 pages, the rest just being repetitious filler. Someone who has never worked out probably can benefit a little from this, but I too found it useless in preserving or improving flexibility, although there may be some value in lubricating/warming up of the joints with some of the movements. Save your money, do not buy any of his written material (dvds are just as bad).
