Summary: This is more than decent, but I usually only do 10minutes of stretching
Comment:
When I want a longer stretching routine I use this video. The direction is very easy to follow the instructor is easy and pleasant to listen to. I really like the PM segment on long miserable days it really lets the tension come out.
The AM portion is a gentle way to energize your day and get you limber.
My complaint, and its not really a complaint, I have another stretching dvd that breaks things into targeted stretches for places you need it and you can do 10 minute sessions or the full 30 minute sessions.
Stretching is really important, and so good for your body, as you get older you lose that elasticity and its really important to use or you will lose it. And you want to be lacing up running shoes when your 80 right. If you can stick to a 30 minute regiment and the is the most you do in a day, but it, if you need to longer stretching sessions that differ from regular routines buy it. It is gentle, with stretching you only ever push your body as far as you are comfortable. I do not have any technical problems or physical problems with this dvd, but I'm an option girl, so this is in my stretching video repertoire its not always first pick.
I should use the PM stretching more than I do though, its the only routine I have like it, and makes a bad day melt off your body. Gaiam videos are always top quality.

Summary: i have fibromyalgia-hubby is bodybuilder
Comment: this is a great dvd. i am overweight and have fibromyalgia. my husband is a novice bodybuilder. we do this stretch together almost everyday. when you do ANY routine you have to do it smart! start slow if you have to and work up to the harder poses and listen to your body. there are some things i can't do yet, but i will keep trying. my hubby is using this to get flexible for crossfit. it works. there is no bouncing! i seriously don't have any clue what these people are talking about. it is also relaxing and i recommend it to EVERYONE at any age or size.

Summary: Very Nice Stretches
Comment: This DVD has 3 very good routines that I am enjoying, an AM. a PM and a general power stretch. I am using the AM & PM more out of the 3. I do find myself using the AM often in the evening when I find myself needing a bit more energy during the evening while I tend to use the PM in the PM since it is so relaxing and helps me get ready for winding down after a long day.

Summary: Six years Later
Comment: I started using this CD six years ago (see earlier review) and it got me into shape gradually. I gradually started walking up to 2 miles, then added bicyling. Eventually, I did the MS 150 (75 miles one way!). I lost 40 pounds and went from size 22 to size 10! This occurred over a period of three years.
Then, I had a hysterectomy with complications. During the months of recuperation, I lost all my momentum. Over the next three years, I gained all my weight back plus 10 pounds and got so out of shape that I could not walk upstairs without effort. At my last visit to the doctor, my doctor informed me that I was border line diabetic and losing bone mass. I had to get back on an exercise program and lose weight.
So, I pulled out this DVD last week and started again. I already feel better! This program provides a very gentle way of getting back into shape. I've lost a few pounds and I feel better in the joints every day that I do it. I can't recommend this program enough.
