Why didn't they use a real human being to be in the video?

What I don't like about this video is that it is an animated "person" doing the exercises. Why don't they have a real person doing them? I think for any exercise or stretching video, people want to see a real person doing it. You can make an animated "person" do anything, even if it is not humanly possibly. So why trust an animated video?

I am going to keep looking around to find a video that actually has a real live person performing the exercises so I know they are indeed humanly possible and are safe and okay.

(what were they thinking??)

Over the last year, I have moved two households and in the process of renovating and moving my parents. My body became weak and stiff, and even though I walk, exercise regularly and eat right. Mary has helped me realize that stretching is the framework I was missing to make all the other healthy things I do more beneficial to my body. I purchased this DVD to stretch out my body and improve areas I have tension in - hips & lower back. I have been doing this DVD for 5 days and most of my pain is gone (I am so relieved after months of off and on dull pain), so this exactly what I needed. This DVD gives you stretches, information on specific stretches and explains how to improve your range and why you have pain in certain areas. This DVD would be well-suited to all levels of fitness and ages - I am 37. I have two parents in their 60s, and will purchase this DVD for them. You can go to PT, but if you don't understand why you need to do the exercise and its health benefits, you won't continue. She explains how to modify the stretches for older individuals and those have more serious pulls/pains. Mary stresses stretching to become a part of your daily lifestyle for maximum benefits. I was impressed with Mary, because I emailed her to tell her how much I love the DVD and she responded same day and went on to give me useful information above and beyond the DVD. A true professional in every way. I look forward to getting her other DVDs. Thank you Mary for your dedication!

STEP AWAY from your pain drugs or thots of surgery! Try this first -- you've got nothing to lose & everything to gain. The stretches presented here are aimed at the source of your low back pain ... to break the pain cycle and get your muscles working FOR you instead of AGAINST you. Simple yet little-known stretches, clearly demonstrated to specifically address pack pain. This is like a doctor in a DVD.

I've bought several of these dvds (shoulders, neck, etc.) They really work well, if you stick with them.

I would recommend.

The concepts may be correct, but the presentation is absolutely ridiculous and SO out of date.......I was very disappointed.
