<p>　　Bob Anderson is the world’s most popular stretching authority.
For over 35 years, Bob has taught millions of people his simple
approach to stretching.Bob and his wife Jean first published a
home-made version of Stretching in a garage in southern California
in 1975. The drawings were done by Jean, based on photos she took
of Bob doing the stretches. This book was modified and published by
Shelter Publications in 1980 for general bookstore distribution and
is now known by lay people as well as medical professionals as the
most user-friendly book on the subject. To date it has sold over 3
million copies worldwide and has been translated into 23
languages.Bob is fit and healthy these days, but it wasn’t always
so. In 1968, he was overweight (190 pounds — at 5'9") and out of
shape. He began a personal fitness program that got him down to 135
pounds. Yet one day, while in a physical conditioning class in
college, he found he couldn’t reach much past his knees in a
straight-legged sitting position. So Bob started stretching. He
found he soon felt better and that stretching made his running and
cycling easier.The American fitness boom was just starting, and the
millions of people who started working out were discovering the
importance of flexibility in their fitness programs. After several
years of exercising and stretching with Jean and a small group of
friends, Bob gradually developed a method of stretching that could
be taught to anyone. Soon he was teaching his technique to others.
He began with professional sports teams: the Denver Broncos, the
