Hi, my name is Wilson Foo, the author of 31 Simple Stretches You Can Do At Your Desk. First of all, I’d like to congratulate you for obtaining this book. You now have before you an incredible resource to improve your work day and your physical health - 1 stretch for every day of every month. Now, you may be wondering to yourself, how can a few simple stretches make a great impact to your workday? Let me share with you how it has improved mine.Have you ever felt extremely tired while working at your desk? I certainly have. Before I started writing this book, I was a litigation lawyer. This job sometimes entailed long hours and a great deal of stress.The common perception of litigation lawyers is that we spend most of the day on our feet arguing in court. While that is partially true and oral arguments in courtrooms are indeed an integral part of the work, much of the time was actually spent at my desk, staring at the computer, poring through reams of documents and drafting written work.Sitting at the same position for a long time can leave us feeling extremely weary. Staring at a screen all day long also tends to strain the neck and back. Not having to move around means that our legs also don’t get much chance to stretch and we start to feel restless all the time.Even at home, I worked on some other projects of my own as well. I am also an app developer and have published some desktop, web and Android apps online. Spending long hours at the desk coding on the weekends made it even worse as I did not get a break from my sedentary lifestyle.I felt that I needed to contribute to the world by helping others in the same situation. Everybody who works, whether at home, or in an office, can benefit from stretching once in a while. This tends to relax our muscles and gives us better productivity. After a good stretch, your work may still be the same and perhaps nothing has changed - but everything has changed, because you feel more alert and able to tackle the challenges ahead.After stretching, I feel rejuvenated and refreshed, at least for the moment. As there are 31 stretches, you can do each stretch for every day in the month - or you can do one a day. The key is to do whatever suits you the most.May you ever be happy and relaxed as you stretch those muscles!

The PBS fitness personality on Classical Stretch and creator of the fitness phenomenon Essentrics offers an eye-opening guide to anti-aging. Miranda Esmonde-White trains everyone from prima ballerinas to professional hockey players to Cerebral palsy patients: what do they all have in common? All of these people are hoping to heal their bodies, prevent further injury, and move optimally and without pain. In fact, they have the same goals as any of us who are trying to stay young, fit, and reverse the hands of time. Because the aging of our bodies occurs in our cells, it must be repaired there too—that’s where Miranda’s highly effective and sought-after techniques come in.

In Aging Backwards, Miranda offers a groundbreaking guide on how to maintain and repair our cells, through scientifically designed workouts. Healthy cells prevent joint pain, muscle loss and weak bones—helping to control weight, increase energy, and improve strength and mobility. Miranda offers readers of all ages the tools they need to look and feel young. Complete with tips, tools, and her Eight Basic Age-Reversing Workouts accompanied by instructional photos and web clips, Aging Backwards will help you grow younger, not older! “If you’ve been meaning to start a fitness program but are put off by vigorous gym or yoga sessions, or if you’re hindered by joint or muscle pain, pick up this book.” —Zoomer
