The stretches here are great and the routine one of the best. However, word of warning, to all who like to pop in a video and work through the routine: Dr. Maloof talks before each exercise and explains it. This is great for the first time but after that incredibly annoying. If you do not have a remote control to fast forward during the talks, you might create more stress than you are stretching out!

I sit at a computer everday and have been suffering from chronic neck stiffness and lower back pain for over 10 years. Nothing has helped in the past. I tried this stretch video and even after the first time I felt tremendous relief of my neck and back pain. Dr. Maloof's explanations of the stretches were helpful for me so I could understand which exercises to focus on for my problems. Now even at work I use some of the stretches I learned from the video right at my own desk. I highly recommend this video for anyone having any neck or back problems as well as injury prevention. I feel more relaxed than ever and even sleep better at night.

I just loved this video. I sit all day and find myself with a sore neck by the end of the day. After doing this video for only a very short time now my neck is so much looser and not sore anymore. I also learned some of the stretches and do them throughout the day which helps me tremendously.

I'm a stay at home Mom with 3 children. I needed an exercise program that I could do in my own home. I have found this stretch video most helpful. As I have been doing it my children have joined right in with me. We now exercise while spending time together and improving our health.

I am not much of an athlete and I was looking for exercises to do on a regular basis. This stretch video has helped me tremendously.I have more flexibility and my back and neck are much more relaxed. I feel energized after doing this video. I have found that if I'm short on time I do part of the video in the morning and part at night. From Dr. Maloof's explanations I have found which exercises I need to concentrate on for my problem areas. I have also learned them well enough that I can do a few during the day to relieve stress and tension. Just wanted to let others know how much this video has helped me.

I was disappointed. I found the video to be very basic. Perhaps more importantly however, the video is extremely frustrating to watch as the instructor speaks very slowly and spends a lot of time explainig the exercises. In the end it is a 55 minute video used to describe a 15 minute routine. while it is the first and only execrcise video I have seen, I am certain that better ones must be available.

I AM A SOCCER PLAYER AND USED TO THINK I WAS IN A GREAT SHAPE. I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED USING THIS STRETCHING VIDEO AND I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. I HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY AND IMPROVED POSTURE. I NOW USE THIS STRETCH VIDEO DAILY AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE. YOU WILL FEEL GREAT DOING IT.

The instructor on this tape is a Chiropractor, so she brings her knowledge to her practice. These are the exercises she does on a daily basis.

They will help you:

Stretch your way to better health
Maintain a healthy spine
Reduce your risk of neck and back injuries
Give you ideas for a stretching routine
Help you increase your flexiblitiy
Improve your Posture

Stretching will help you increase your range of motion and improve circulation.

Dr. Catherine Maloof's voice is calming at first, but can become irritating over time because she seems to be "almost" teaching kindergarten at times instead of giving adults fitness instruction. You have been warned. She speaks very slowly and precisely.

Explanations are good, but this is not a practical stretching tape. By that I mean, you cannot just watch this and go from one stretch to the other without the detailed explanations. If you want to learn how to stretch and need precise instruction, then this might be for you.

Good basic stretching. For a beginner the positions and movements are very worthwhile. However, for some reason the narrator talks like she is teaching nursery school, treating the viewer like they are a 4 year old.

i ordered this video in the hopes that it would help me improve
my flexibility and educate me at the same time. while it is very
informative it is not going to dramatically increase your
flexibility because there really aren't that many stretches
shown. the majority of the video is lengthy, boring explanations
that could be gone over while doing the stretches instead of 5
minutes beforehand. most of the stretches i had previously
learned in a yoga class anyways. this video is more for someone
who has never stretched before...
