I'm wondering if anyone else who's started using this method has experienced their body detoxing? (Actually, been getting some mental detox in there, too.) I almost immediately jumped to craving fruits, veggies, and raw food, and I've been experiencing other "cleanse" symptoms. The only cause I can seem to point it to would be this program! Curious to hear what the rest of you have experienced. 😀
Coco! I had no idea you were on here! I'm Ellen, Freya's friend from Poletential in NorCal! Nice to see you here!! I'm so excited to hear you use these methods too. xoxo Hi Ellen! yep, it's me. 🙂 I'm a bit of a lurker, but with Cooley's work I couldn't help chiming in... One of these days I'll post some videos or something. I hope I get to meet you in person some day!! I've heard great things about you and your studio from Freya! xoxo, Coco

I only watched the little DVD trailer on youtube and figured to try the principle on my hamstrings using a resistance band for the resistance part (kinda logical, LOL). I didn't do it for long, but the stretched leg seriously got 2 inches closer to my face without even pulling (was lying on my back) relative to the not-stretched one... 🥂 I so need to get this book now 🤸 🤸 🤸 Hope it also works for hip flexors...
Tine, the book has a few great stretches for hip flexors. I've been doing these stretches inconsistently for the last 2 weeks while I've been fighting a virus and already I notice a huge difference in my every day flexibility. Buy the book and give it a try! 😀
I ended up buying the book. Amazon (or should I say the used book store) was great, ordered it Wednesday at lunch time and I got it yesterday morning. I ran through the "energy" series last night with the exception of a few of the stretches (seesaw....are you freaking kidding me??) which I substituted with the beginner stretches. I like that many of these I can do in my office.
I ordered 3 books from Amazon and got...The Genius Of Flexibility, Relax Into Stretch and Streching Scientifically... can't wait to try them out tomorrow... however tonight I will be stretching to see Beckham in the Glaxy game I am going to! 😈
Just did my first run through of the DVD and I shit you not, I almost got the box split. Got into my right and left side split much further than before. THIS SH!T WORKS!!!!!!!!! 😂 😂 😂
Wow this guy is a genius!! Thanks so much for sharing! ☀️

Hello! You guys are all so excited about this book I decided to get it even though it was international. I got it from their site so the money went to them right? and guess what! They shipped internationally at the same cost! how lovely! I wrote and asked if that was right and a lady named Alisha responded straight away and she was so lovely! i told her about you guys and this thread and she came and had a look and said these things: "Thank you! I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback. I have a couple things I'd like to comment on in case you are interested. I noticed everyone is particularly interested in splits. The exercise that will most help with splits is #1, Gallbladder. These muscles are on the outside of the leg, the opposite muscle group that most people think needs to be stretched. The reason for this is that in order for any muscle group to stretch (for example, the inside of the legs), the balancing muscle group has to be able to shorten (the outside of the legs). Because we use resistance while we stretch, range of motion is not the only factor involved. When a muscle is stretched, the capability of the muscle to shorten increases, which is the most important change and is what measures true flexibility. Therefore, in order to do a full split, the muscles on the outside of the legs need to be able to shorten to pull your legs away from the bodies center. Also, I noticed someone commented on her diet being effected by the stretching. She wondered if this is possible. It definitely is possible. Bob not only discovered how muscles truly stretch but also that stretching specific muscles leads to benefits that are consistent with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Desire for and digestion of food is one possible improvement. I'm not sure if you are at all interested in this but I thought I would share my feedback in case you would like to pass the word along. Enjoy!" She also said if any of you have any questions on any of it then she'd be happy for me to give you her email address 🙂 I wont put it on here in case spam-bots get it! How awesome though! Hope my DVD comes soon!
OMG!! That is totally awesome--what amazing service! I'm going to their website! Thanks for posting this!!!! 🥂
Thats so cool that they replied! Damn I wish I had my book here at work. Note to self..tonight do gallbladder stretches...

That is so cool that she responded!!! And now it makes sense when I do a good bit of #1 my straddle is much lower....was a little less than 6" away from being flat the other night. I'm starting to have dreams where I feel myself lying flat....ummmm can't wait!!
Leave it to me to always come up on the forums all stinkin late. *sigh* It sucks being so busy now. I am happy to say tho that I did order the book AND DVD from amazon before I even finished reading all of the post in the forum 😁 Let's just hope this stuff works as good on men as it does all you lovely ladies 😀 P.S. We should all start a Forum with a weekly Diary video log from beginning until we land the splits! That would be so nice to see everyone grow together. ☀️

mine just got here last night...!! so excited.. splits u are MINE!
hello i saw the book at amazon.com but when u try to buy, the site says that does not go shiping to my adress 🙄 , do you now where else i can buy it?

i ordered mine! but it didn't come yet.... 😈
So I've had the DVD a few weeks (only done it 4x) and I also purchased the book. Anyone having trouble following the directions? They don't seem really clear to me on some of the moves and also, the name of the muscle being stretched isn't named. I'm afraid I'm doing some of them wrong. That being said though, I am definitely seeing increases in my flexibility!! Guess I'm doing something right. That is SO COOL that the rep wrote in to recommend gallbladder #1. I thought the one for the splits was the one in which you actually do the split (put feel on towel on floor and slide feet out to side).

I had the same problem on amazon (wouldn't ship to my address). I ordered from another amazon seller, (Osmosys) and it shipped on Nov. 10, apparently, but I still haven't gotten it. I searched Bob Cooley and he has a web site and you can order the dvd's there, so now I'm kicking myself for not ordering! 😠 Yeah,I do find that some of the stretches are hard to figure out. I was hoping the dvd would clear things up! Still, what stretches I've done have given great results, so I'm not complaining! ☀️ Hopefully, I'll be over this cold soon so I can get back to them.
I've seen it on ebay for a lot cheaper!! Or you can go to books-a-million ok, thank u, i will try 😉 do you think dvd is better than book?
