3.0 out of 5 stars Meh, October 22, 2009

This review is from: STACEY NEMOUR's Secrets of Splits & Flexibility (DVD)

If all you want is to learn some stretching exercises and you're willing to do the routine on your own, then this video is for you (although there are books that cover many more exercises). If you're looking for a DVD to pop in and follow along with, then pass on this one.

------
Stacey is an attractive woman with some exceptional skills but this DVD is not what I'd hoped for. The individual stretches are sound but this is more of a how-to-guide than an actual exercise video. She flies through the different stretches without any inclination of how long they should be held. In short I wouldn't call this an exercise video since following along is practically impossible without pausing the DVD all the time. I prefer DVDs over books because it helps keep me in the routine.

The following comments have nothing to do with the stretches in the DVD, but I'm providing it in case these issues may be important to you:
The overall production value is really low. It's basically shot on a consumer level camera (albeit with decent sound) in a living room. The transitions from one stretch to the next are distracting. It's a consistent fade-through-black transition set up, which only helps because you'll need to pause the video quite often. I only bring this up because the DVD is priced pretty high for an exercise DVD. If this were half the price like other DVDs (that usually have better production value) I wouldn't even mention it.
Stacey also has beautiful hair, but she should have put it up in a bun, or a pony tail at the least. It often blanketed her body and this issue coupled with some poor camera angles made for some guess work as to proper positioning and such. Imagine a wig draped over a pretzel. To note she has a million dollar smile and freakishly thin waistline (I know, that part is absolutely useless but I had to point it out ;)

----
This last part is for the producers and Stacey herself (hoping she reads these reviews):
It's a super long shot but I wish you would redo this video. I'd buy it because it's a great routine that's very close to being exactly what inflexible people are looking for. Involve three other people (beginner to advanced), and complete the video continuously as an actual routine. This would give you the opportunity to walk around to the different people pointing out proper form, counting out time, and such. It's the coaching element that I think is missing. I hope you can understand how important this is for people who are so much less flexible and want a DVD to follow along with.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only demonstration, not a routine, September 19, 2009

This review is from: STACEY NEMOUR's Secrets of Splits & Flexibility (DVD)

After reading all of the reviews on this video, I bought it and couldn't wait to get it. It was nothing like I was expecting. I expected some sort of routine with longer stretches,(something similar to the Tamilee Total Stretch video but a little more difficult) not just quick demonstrations. I am not extremely flexible at all and really wanted something to help me out. I hate the fact that I have to pause after every single part of the demonstration to do the stretch longer on my own. I'm very disappointed.

Stacey Nemour's "Secrets of Splits & Flexibility" is totally great! These exercises truly work! No matter what age you are and the sport(s) or physical activities you engage in, this DVD will help you perform and feel better. I've been struggling to improve the flexibility of my hamstrings: Stacey demonstrated some excellent stretches especially for hamstrings. And, by gully, they work like magic! So, if you are struggling in order to do front or side splits, this DVD will help you reach your goal(s) too. There's a lot of other videos out there on the market; however, this value-packed and information-loaded DVD will save you a lot of trouble, decision-making, money and training time, period. Thank you, Stacey Nemour!!
