DanceCrazy Ultimate Stretching Exercises DVD - PIlates and Yoga Stretch Belts and Straps Muscle Relief Step by Step

Haven't gotten around to actually going through the workout itself with the stretching strap, but plan to add it to my routine to increase flexibility. Browsed the DVD for the purposes of seeing if it's a reasonable stretching program and it certainly seems to be. Just have to hit the floormat and commit to doing it.

I grew up taking dance, so I have always been pretty flexible. It was something I never really had to work at, I just was. Then earlier this year I had to have some surgery that required me to limit my mobility for a few weeks. I had to spend a significant amount of time siting with my feet elevated and in bed. As I progressed with my rehabilitation I started to have backaches. I spoke to my chiropractor and he decided the pain was from tightness between my lower back and legs, as well as my hip flexors. He suggested I get a yoga strap and gradually work on reconditioning those areas. I have never had to use a strap and was concerned about doing modifications incorrectly. I went in search of something I could use as a reference.This DVD has been a great resource for me. Being able to see the full range of the motion is so much better that looking at illustrations in a book. I keep my remote nearby to pause so I can go at my own pace once I have the stretch. I like to hold and push the stretch for quite a while. I have been using the video and my strap for a few weeks and have already had the benefit of much less pain in my back and an obvious increase in my range of motion in several areas. I feel like I am nor ready to move to a Yoga class, which I will still be using my strap. I will continue to use the video as a resource as I continue my rehabilitation. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

A lot of really good stretches some you wouldn't even think of and we all could use a good stretch my only dislike is that she goes over one side and then says for you to do the other side your self and then join her back for another move on the DVD. I think she should be going over the move on both sides so you don't have to keep pausing the DVD

The dvd is ok for the price paid. I can't say that it's completely useful. I have learned a few stretches I was unfamiliar with, but I was hoping for a better "workout" with this stretch DVD. I received a discount for my review.

It's motivational and instructional even for someone who is totally new to exercising.

The DanceCrazy Ultimate Stretching Exercises DVD – Pilates and Yoga Stretch Belts and Straps Muscle Relief Step by Step by SalsaCrazy, Inc arrived in a timely manner and was packaged nicely. I was not able to try out this video initially as quickly as I had intended. I ended up having abdominal surgery so it kind of delayed me a bit. I will say, however, this is a very nice video. It is perfect for the beginner that I am. My husband recently had back surgery and we are both wanting to start doing some yoga so I ordered this video and a couple straps so we could start doing yoga together. Please note that despite the title of the item, this is the instructional video only. If you do not yet have a yoga stretching strap you will need to order that separately. As others have said, the video only does show you one side, but I am pretty sure we can all easily adjust to accommodate that feature of the DVD. I definitely do not consider it a flaw by any means. This is a very nicely done yoga stretching strap video to help introduce you to the basic stretches you can do with your stretching strap. This video has been a great addition to exercise routine. I was fortunate enough to receive the DanceCrazy Ultimate Stretching Exercises DVD – Pilates and Yoga Stretch Belts and Straps Muscle Relief Step by Step by SalsaCrazy, Inc at a discounted price or free in exchange for my honest feedback about the product.
