5.0 out of 5 stars Great place to start! But don't put it aside later., May 13, 2008

By	L. Capell (Peachtree City, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My mom who is over 70 and I (age 50) tried out this DVD with the aim to become more flexible because we were both so out-of-shape. WOW! May I again say WOW! Not only could we both do most all of the stretches, but we began to see results within only a few sessions! Plus, it's a great de-stresser! Flexibility and strength continue to grow as we have committed to continue this indefinitely. We have become confident enough to even add aerobics... You can pick your present physical condition and start with only one of the several 10-minute routines. Who doesn't haven't 10 minutes a day? The leader makes it easy and is quite encouraging. I am so very pleased! Try it for yourself. No matter how long it's been since you exercised, you can start with this DVD and then later use it as a warm-up or cool-down. With the emphasis on weight-training and aerobics, we must not forget to stretch for flexibility!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good variety, June 2, 2007

By	Seir (USA) - See all my reviews

Most of my life I have worked out, and yes, it can become boring predictable and monotonous.Here is a good, short variety, one for each day of the week, so you dont feel guilty about not working out. Choose your workout for the day, depending on your mood or need, moderate to intense stretching and stress-relieving. I use this program as an alternate to my usual lengthy workout when I am traveling. All you really need is a chair,a wall, and yourself! Very well explained, the instructor is very down to earth and connects well as a partner in exercise. Just enough yoga and stretching to get you feeling as if you had done a full workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do the stretchy......., July 13, 2007

This really is a "perfect" stretch DVD. The instructor knows of what she speaks and there is nothing pompous or irritating about her or the workouts. The entire DVD is focused and calming. I like to do these stretches in the afternoon because my energy level is lower.... A perfect warm up or just by itself. I don't think you have to look any further to find a wonderful, intelligent stretch routine....Thanks, I appreciate it !!
