Content OK; Technical Problems While I have no complaints with the content basics, I've had lots of problems with this disk. Sometimes it loads, but often it doesn't. Won't accept chapter advances and sometimes jams on the preview section rather than the actual exercise chapter. Won't load at all on my DVD player but can get it to work on my laptop -- not convenient.
EASE into exercizing Overweight, stiff, and turning 40... that is where I was last summer. I began walking with my neighbor, watching what I ate, and losing weight. By spring, and post gall bladder surgery, I was ready to step things up a bit and get back some range of motion, strength, and tone. I bought this DVD because it was inexpensive and looked straight-forward, not too long either. It was PERFECT for me to begin stretching my long unused muscles. I enjoy it and use it often. Although she has no "personality" in this video, her voice-over was very good. Madeleine Lewis gives very clear instructions, cues on breathing, everything you need to do it right. I do not care for hyper, plastic, bubbling, in-your-face types, she is the opposite so she is a-okay for us "old" and out-of-shape folks. I know I will eventually graduate from this short stretching routine, but if you are looking for something inexpensive, a routine you can ease into, one that you won't end up getting discouraged with or tired of, this is a great start to a new healthy you.
daily stretch A real waste of money. The video has no sound & no instruction. All you get to watch is a woman rushing through a very poor routine.
Ok workout but no personality This woman is -- at least from the evidence of her DVD -- devoid of personality or a sense of humor. She rushes through the workouts in a monotone as if she will be glad when they are over. I was too.
Warning for owners of AM/PM Stretch DVD This DVD is the bonus workout from AM/PM Stretch. If you don't own AM/PM Stretch, I'd recommend that one instead since it has a total of three different workouts while this DVD is only one 20 minute workout.
