"Able to stand tall",
By
This review is from: Back in Shape (DVD)
I had worked in the Plumbing Heating and Cooling business and the constant lifting and working in miserable conditions had caused my bottom three discs to crack and leak.
I slept on the floor in a ball every night and crawled to my hands and knees. After 6 months of using this DVD every day, I'm able to play golf 3 times a week and teach my workshops on my feet from 8 to 4 PM without having to take pain killers. Relief from back pain is the gift you give when you buy this DVD for yourself or someone else who is suffering

Good general tape for your back,

This review is from: Back in Shape (DVD)
Although this isn't a comprehensive DVD for your back, it doesn't claim to be.
I've been using this for about 2.5 weeks now, and while I don't use it every day, I have been using it twice a week. The first section introduces breathing and general stretches to help with your back while the second section concentrates on strengthening the abs and introduces stretches to loosen up your neck and shoulders (in addition to your back). I've generally been doing only the first section, simply because I feel my lower back needs to be a bit more flexible before I tackle the second section on a regular basis. Both sections are only 15 minutes each, so there's no reason *not* to do one or the other or both! Just make sure you have a mat to lie down on (a yoga "sticky" mat really comes in handy here, but isn't necessary) and a folded up towel. As for the poster who was bored with this...that's not the point of this program. The point is *not* to move through at a quick or moderate pace; the idea is to stretch and strengthen your back. Yes, it's quite slow, but if your back feels tight, would you really want to move through the poses at a quick or moderate pace? I know I wouldn't, and the instructor doesn't do so. A good companion book to this DVD (for those wanting stretches for specific ailments) is Back Care Basics: A Doctor's Gentle Yoga Program For Back and Neck Pain Relief. It's helped me with the pain I get in my lower back specifically related to endometriosis.

Very nicely paced for relaxation.,

This review is from: Back in Shape (DVD)
This is a very relaxing and nicely paced routine. All the excersizes are performed on the floor and include a flat on the back 15-min session and sitting up 15-min session. You can easily do them both together or either one separate. It not a tough routine, very gentle and geared towards those with injuries or just starting with stretching, but I found it also very beneficial as an intermediate yogini. There is a mix of slow movements and stretching. Setting is on a beautiful beach with smoothing instruction and music. Even though this is only a 1/2 hour routine, I will use it again and again on days when I'd like a gentle, short practice. Treat your back to this one !
