Home « Prev Main Next » ... Melinda Henneberger The following is a guest post from former competitive swimmer Michelle Brafman, who teaches and writes fiction in Washington: Dara Torres. Dara Torres. God, it would be so easy to hate her. Let's start with the abs that defy nature, maddening proof that a 41-year-old mother can successfully model a bikini. There are the masseuses and trainers who knead her muscles and stretch her limbs myriad times a day to flush out lactic acid built up from swimming laps and pumping iron while a nanny cares for her toddler. I'm guessing she's not folding much of her own laundry, but I could be wrong. I'm not bitter. Really, I'm not. If I sound a little obsessed though, it's for good reason. If I had a quarter for every time someone asked me "So what do you think of that Dara Torres?" I could fill every parking meter in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. Why do people associate me with Dara? Believe me, it's not the abs. Dara and I are of the same vintage; I swam competitively for almost 20 years, and like Dara, I was a drop-dead sprinter, not an Olympian but an NCAA All-American. My daughter's recent foray into competitive swimming has catapulted me back to this chapter of my life, particularly the swim meets: the thick summer air scented with chlorine and mildewed towels, the national anthem performed slightly off-key, and the munchkin swimmers hooting and hollering for each other. By the last event, I'm fighting the urge to pull on my Land's End tankini and recruit one of the timers to run a clock on my own 25-meter freestyle.

In her second comeback after six years away from the pool, Dara shattered expectations by becoming the oldest female swimmer, at age 41, to make the Olympic team and a record fifth team appearance. Competing against girls half her age, she was unstoppable. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Dara won three Silver medals, two in the 4x100m Freestyle relay and 4x100 Medley relay, and one in the 50m Freestyle race.  She is the holder of three World Records, the first of which she broke at age 14.

DVDs: Resistance Stretching With Dara Torres Dara Torres Anne Tierney Rivercoast Films Dist., 2009 average customer review: based on 4 reviews view larger image for more information click here it's ok the info in this dvd is good and it does work. you don't have to be a sports person to bennifit from this type of work. apply this to any activity and you will feel good doing whatever you do. sports or not. the process is so simple it's the doing of it that works. Resistance Stretching with Dara Torres for more information click here Unique approach to flexibility training NOTE: I received a free preview copy of this DVD from the web site Metapsychology Online; you can read a more complete version of my review on that site. As a regular home exerciser in my early 40sabout the same age as Dara Torres , who is featured on this DVDI have made more and more of an effort to include different types of stretching as part of my fitness routine, which is why this DVD set appealed to me. Resistance Stretching was developed by Anne Tierney and Steve Sierra, co-founders of Innovative Body Solutions. In the introductory chapters of the first disc, Anne and Steve explain that Resistance Stretching is the process of resisting during the stretch. In other words, it involves taking the muscle from the shortest position to the longest position while contracting the muscle at the same time, which is also referred to as the "e-centric" phase of strength training. The first disc includes an almost one-hour tutorial in which Anne and Steve thoroughly explain all seventeen self-stretches in their program. Chapters 3, 5, and 6 each serve to assist with problem solving and modifications, either through learning how to work agonist/antagonist muscles, incorporating modifications for tight hamstrings, or building up strength to improve flexibility.
