From the Actor

Mirabai Holland, M.F.A. says "Fabulous Forever!™ easy stretch is one of the most important things you can do to slow down your aging clock.

Ideally to reap the maximum benefits do this video 3-5 days a week. But be sure to get clearance from your doctor before beginning this or any exercise program.

Flexibility is one of the three main components of physical fitness, along with aerobic capacity and muscle strength. Flexibility is range of motion around your joints. There are two types of flexibility. Static flexibility - how far you can stretch and hold a body part and dynamic flexibility - how much range of motion you have when you move. Both are important and you need a flexibility program that incorporates slow dynamic movements as well as static stretches. As we age, our connective tissues; tendons and ligaments tend to shorten and become stiffer. That's why we become shorter and less flexible as we grow older. These connective tissues require as much maintenance as our muscles do. Stretching helps maintain them.

Breathing is something we take for granted.
But, everything we do depends on the quality of our breathing.
Better circulation
Clearer thinking
More positive mood
Reduced stress
And, many say longevity and even peace of mind.
In Fabulous Forever!™ easy stretch, controlled breathing is an important part of the process. Because exhaling and visualizing your muscle stretching can actually increase your body's ability to perform the stretch.

This is more than a flexibility workout, it's a moving meditation that creates a sense of being present in the moment which is, at the same time, both relaxing and exhilarating. One finishes the routine with a sense of well being and a more positive outlook as well as the feeling that your body is more alive, more accessible to you. At the same time, Fabulous Forever!™ easy stretch increases your range of motion slows down your aging clock and helps you stay Fabulous Forever!

Product Description

Fabulous Forever!™ Easy Stretch is specially designed by fitness expert Mirabai Holland, M.F.A. to relax the mind and body, reduce stress, help you regain flexibility and range of motion around your joints, slow down your aging clock and promote a supple, youthful body.

I have purchased many workouts in my quest for the "perfect stretch" (Tamilee, Miranda, Madeleine, etc.) I absolutely LOVE this workout! It is one of the most gentle stretch workouts I have ever done! There is a quick standing warm-up in which you sort of sway your body side to side, then do some gentle side lunges and arm pulls that remind me of tai chi. Next comes the floor stretches, almost all of which are done on your back, in which you point your leg straight up, then bring it down. Floor exercises also include some hip opening moves. You end the floorwork on your hands and knees with some cat stretches. Next is seated floorwork where you sit with your legs wide and stretch your arms from one side of your body to the other. Finally you're standing again for some quick finishing stretches. There is nothing new here, but the moves are practiced at a nice, gentle pace ... not too fast, not too slow. The workout is done voice-over style, and the music is very soothing. The ocean background adds to the total relaxation experience. I really enjoyed this stretch! There is also a section on how your muscles & tendons work, and how your breathing works - it was interesting, but as it is separately chaptered, it can be easily skipped. I am so glad I found this DVD!

I just got Fabulous Forever Easy Stretch by Mirabai Holland. It is excellent. The entire video is soothing from beginning to end. While I was doing it I felt like I was in a trance and I could feel myself loosening up. The 45 minutes went by like nothing. When I finished it I was glowing. I felt like I'd been to the Spa. It's the most relaxing workout I've ever done and what great stretches.

I'm glad I took a chance on this video. The instructor is personable and she focuses on the task at hand - no annoying chatter or weird camera angles. The scenery, at a lake in the mountains, is pleasant. The routine is enjoyable from beginning to end. This is an "active stretch" format, meaning lots of movement, instead of "static" stretch. Makes me feel like I've had a rejuvenating mini-spa experience, guided by a thoughtful instructor.

Mirabai mentions "lubricating the joints," and at first I wondered "so what? who needs that?" Well, after doing the video a few times and noticing how much better my joints move, I now say "hey, I need that!" If your joints creak and pop this is a great video for you too.
