Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I found Undulation: Relieve Stiffness and Feel Young to be a great resource for gentle exercise / stretching to help those who may have lost flexibility or mobility. The stretches are easily done, and instruction is detailed. I also found it to be an informative tool for analyzing what's going on with your muscles, and helpful in deciding which exercises to do for the best outcome. I will be recommending this to all of my patients.

Very useful self help kind of book. It really has helped me with stress relief.

Interesting version of various movements and poses to increase flexibility and strength. Especially good for seniors. Clear illustrations help understanding.

An easier gentler version of yoga for those of us whose bodies are winding down.
As with all self-help books, be it mental or physical, the first part tries to convince you why you need this. Some of them are actually well-pointed, such as the difference between pain caused by regular physical labor and internal injury. There’s also the difference between small and large movements, as well as an explanation as to who really is in charge, the mind or the body. One line really made me laugh: eels have powerful strong cores, because that’s all they have. Eels can’t fall back on arms and legs.
Obviously it takes a while to feel the effects and benefits of any physical regimen, so I can’t tell you how successful this is yet, but I can recommend this book just for the names of the exercises, some of which genuinely made me laugh out loud:
Hip hiker—Octopus—Paint your head with the floor—Follow the music—Tailbone penmanship—Coffee grinder—Caressed by waves—Barber pole—Tree tops—Train cars—Speed bump—Inchworm—Snake charmer—Tornado.
There’s an appendix that lists the exercises alphabetically.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Having never heard the word, undulation, I was not clear about the book topic initially. After taking time to read the book, however, I am excited to share the book and the exercises with colleagues and friends.
