Beginners Stretch for Flexibility 10 reviews
Tamilee Webb
Goldhil Home Media, 2001
Wonderful relaxation, stretching is a bonus
This tape saved my sanity last year when I was a bit low and blue. Tamilee's voice is very soothing, the transition between poses flow nicely. I purchased the two-tape set because the 2-tape set was still a good price (this tape plus "Total Body Stretch for Beginners" for the purpose of improving my flexibility. I thought I would use the latter tape most of the time since I felt I would be ...

Relax into Stretch: Instant Flexibility Through Mastering Muscle Tension 1 review
Pavel Tsatsouline
Easy to follow along.
I bought this video I was kind of skeptical because of all the over board claims. However it is an excellent video. The routine is just enough for a beginner to intermediate. Pavel is funny and more importantly gives very simple instructions. I have tried Yoga and other types of stretching exercises. I am the type that needs some clear simple moves to follow. This fit the bill. Some people have ...

Workout: Staring Jane Fonda, original 1982 18 reviews
Jane Fonda
Karl Video, 1982
This one works - it does what no other one can do!
In my quest for a thinner me, I have followed all the roads to that elusive size 10. During all those year, the one exercise video tape that really worked is the Orignial Jane Fonda tape.
It is not fancy - but believe me it works. At this moment, I was stunned that I found another copy. I wore out the two I previously owned and, even with the age of cyberspace, have yet to find another ...

The Goddess Workout With Dolphina: Bellydance for Fitness: Body, Mind and Spirit2 reviews
Sea Siren Productions, Inc., 1998
very pleasantly surprised
I read some of the other reviews on this dvd, and was expecting ... maybe a dud ... but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't find Dolphina's references to religion, chakras, or any of the other less-than-commercial ideologies to be detrimental - more her personal view of the inner workings of the dance. I enjoyed it, and found it to be well planned and beautifully presented. Some of the ...

Power Flexibility Yoga for Beginners with Rodney Yee (Living Yoga) 27 reviews
Rodney Yee
Gaiam (formerly Living Arts), 2001
Great workout!
One word of caution...beginner. It really is best if you get the series (strength or stamina) and become really good at one of those first. This one is a little challenging if you are not in good shape already or if you unfamiliar with yoga poses. Otherwise, the tape is a solid workout and not too long. Before this workout I had a relatively weak upper body, but this has made me much ...

Forced Relaxation: Advanced Russian Drills for Extreme Flexibility 1 review
Pavel Tsatsouline
Good results, but the video is too short and fast
Overall I am very pleased with this video, however I do have a few criticsms of it in terms of the speed at which Pavel talks through the techniques, and actually does the exercises. He also does not ensure that the audience has the body in the correct position ie by saying 'make sure that your head is upright, you are breathing in such and such a way' etc. very often Also you will need to pause ...

Keeping Fit in Your 50s - Flexibility4 reviews
Cindy Joseph, Robyn Stuhr
Acorn Media, 2004
Keeping fit series is good for women in their 50s
I purchased the series and liked all three, particularly flexibility. I was glad to see inspiring women my age in the DVD and thought their approach was realistic and not too frenzied. The exercises were familiar but effective. On the other hand, the timing can be a bit off, so the counts during workouts aren't perfectly symmetrical. The explanations take quite a bit of time, but those can be ...

Fabulous Forever Easy Stretch: A Flexibility and Stress Reduction Program by Mirabai Holland, MFA3 reviews
MFA Mirabai Holland
Here's what you're looking for
"Slow down your aging clock". We're bombarded with products that claim to do that - from face creams to vitamins to botox injections. I must admit to a bit of skepticism when I first sat down to watch this video. At the end of the 48 minutes I felt calmer and more peaceful (and that was just because I was listening and breathing). Then I began working through the stretches and breathing ...

Yoga Zone - Flexibility & Stress Release41 reviews
Ron Brown (VIII)
KOCH VISION, 2000
Impressed Again by Yoga Zone
I purchased several other Yoga Zone DVDs before disccovering those with Alan Finger conducting the practice, and found them excellent. Alan Finger's sessions, which include meditation, did not disappoint. Beginners and experienced practitioners alike will find Alan's instruction easy to follow and extremely informative. One of the "hazards" of gaining experience is the tendency to get sloppy ...
