Description:
Experience the amazing benefits of stretching. Stretches help you relax. Stretches reduce stress and anxiety, improve your posture and flexibility, boost your internal health, and release the stress-induced tension and muscle aches caused by a sedentary lifestyle.
Created by certified Pilates instructor, personal trainer and modern dancer Annette Fletcher, this streamlined series of passive and active stretches blends the most effective and enjoyable stretch movements from Pilates, Yoga and other athletic, dance and holistic disciplines.
Stretching rebalances your body, expands your range of motion, decreases your risk of injury and relieves pain. Stretching is a vital component of any fitness program: If you are not accustomed to exercising regularly, this stretch program will jump-start your way toward a more active lifestyle.
Better posture and increased flexibility will give you a stronger, more confident carriage that will make you look taller and leaner, and lend added grace and ease to your everyday movement.
If you are a dancer or athlete, the stretch sequences offered in this program will help elongate your muscles, increase your range of motion, help open your chest and hips, enhance spinal flexibility, and improve muscle control. One or two 10-minute stretch segments can serve as a perfect cool down after your fitness or dance practice, while the Intense Stretch" section focusing on a deeper, more challenging stretch, can serve as a great tool for muscle conditioning -- either on its own or combined with your regular workout or practice.
The program is easy-to-follow and does not require any special equipment. In the two Head-to-Toe sections (which can be combined into a 20-minute stretching session) stretches are performed standing, lying on a mat, or leaning against a wall. In the Sedentary Lifestyle Relief section, you will learn how to stretch even while sitting in a chair. The Sports Stretch section provides appropriate stretches for a range of fitness activities.
You can easily do any of these 10-minute segments alone, or combined with other workouts, depending how much time you have available.

I Like ItNov 06, 2008 The short routines and focus on stretching for different activities is what got me to by this DVD. I've only had a few weeks but I can already see that it's a great addition to my collection. I've just started doing yoga and it is amazing. This won't replace my yoga, but I like that the instructor has combined sports stretching with some poses from yoga, Pilates and dance to come up with an interesting and effective stretching program.

Excellent stretching exerciseOct 04, 2008 I immediately worked through the whole exercise when I received the dvd. I had sore shoulders from doing some heavy work in the garden and after the exercise my shoulders were not sore anymore.
I cannot reach my toes yet but my girlfriend assures me that this will get better with every exercise.
An excellent dvd.
Nice Set Of StretchesOct 01, 2008 This is good selection of shorter stretches to work with. I had been bad in my habits of trying to take care of myself, and had forgotten how much I enjoy taking some time for myself for some simple things. This is DVD has helped. I am starting to feel better and often find myself doing small stretches during the day. It makes the world of difference and this DVD can be used by anyone.

Just StretchingAug 31, 2008 I really like this dvd. I got it because I started training for a sprint triathlon and hadn't been working out much before that. I didn't want a yoga or pilates stretch dvd because they tend to also want to work your muscles and I was already doing that. The workout has very effective stretches. My muscles feel great after I am finished. The instructor is pleasant.
