This is an exercise tape that is not super athletic and is very good for older men and women as well as for everyone. I LOVE IT - I finish the program relaxed and feel that all muscles have been exercised. How about more low impact aerobics!!!

Calling this a low-impact workout wouldn't be fair. Although the program is not tough, it has an incredible impact on your exercize abilities as well as your every day life. The workout is composed of four concentrated segments: breathing, stretching, upper-body sculpting, and tension/relief stress reduction. My personal favorite was the stretching, but every segment has a way of strengthening your muscles, posture, and breathing ability.

Like a customer mentioned below, the program is great for all ages, and older men and women can definitely join in, too. It's a great program that you can do any time of the day. Do it in the morning and it will get your day started right. Do it in the afternoon and it will help you relax. Do it about an hour before bed and you'll be able to wind down.

This program works great combined with the use of other exercise programs, such as aerobics, weight training, and resistance workouts (you don't have to do "Reach" back-to-back with any of them, but it gives you good pointers and techniques for more intense types of exercise).

I was surprised at how relaxed, yet stronger, I felt after the first time I did this exercise. It's a great soft workout and I try to do it at least once or twice a week, if I have the time. If this is something you might be interested in, get the video and try it out!! You won't be disappointed!

Now, if only we can get a petition going to have the program released on DVD!

It is a good stress reliever, but I felt is was just to long. It didn't work on flexiblity as much as I had hoped. I bought this one 'cause I like working out with Kathy Ireland. I have all of her videos. This one is my least favorite, but I still try to fit it in once in a while. If it was shorter and worked more on flexibility I would have done it more.

i have had massages, chiropratic adjustments for tight(spasm) and painful muscles.

i bought kathys STRETCH vhs at Thrift Store, it does the trick, after doing the entire tape my muscles feel relax and the pain is gone. these exercises can be done by almost anyone and any age they are so simple and gentle.

For Me, these exercises are as effective as a neuromuscular massage.

I have been using this video for nearly 10 years to stretch and relax after a workout, or even just a hard day at work. Some parts of me are not very flexible and the stretches in this video are extremely easy to do and healthy for you (no bouncing.) There are different sections/segments in the video:
Breathing & Posture
Stretching
Upper Body Sculpting
Tensing & Relaxing
The music is not annoying and the set contains soft colors, fabrics and plants to make a good atmosphere. I would recommend this video to anyone who finds they are very tense at the end of the day. It is great to do before bedtime. I fall asleep easier and wake up more limber.
