Movie Reviews of AM & PM Stretch
Movie Review: Six years Later
Summary: 5 Stars
I started using this CD six years ago (see earlier review) and it got me into shape gradually. I gradually started walking up to 2 miles, then added bicyling. Eventually, I did the MS 150 (75 miles one way!). I lost 40 pounds and went from size 22 to size 10! This occurred over a period of three years.
Then, I had a hysterectomy with complications. During the months of recuperation, I lost all my momentum. Over the next three years, I gained all my weight back plus 10 pounds and got so out of shape that I could not walk upstairs without effort. At my last visit to the doctor, my doctor informed me that I was border line diabetic and losing bone mass. I had to get back on an exercise program and lose weight.
So, I pulled out this DVD last week and started again. I already feel better! This program provides a very gentle way of getting back into shape. I've lost a few pounds and I feel better in the joints every day that I do it. I can't recommend this program enough.
Movie Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really good product as it explains the purpose of stretching in our daily hectic lives. Madeleine does a good job of introducing the importance of stretching and very gracefully, yet effectively, demonstrates the "how to's" of it. I appreciate her tender/nurturing tone of voice as well as her emphasis on adequate breathing thru out the session. The background scenery and music are definitely relaxing. I've been stretching more now, along with proper posture and breathing, since incorporating this DVD. It also includes a fast paced cardio stretch session for those who'd want the best of both! I think a little more theory and/or research data on the topic of stretching from a medical perspective would definitely be a plus. One negative is that in the DVD narration whenever Madeleine refers to her right leg or hand or side, she actually uses her left hand, leg, etc. in the video! Other than that, no significant negatives really stand out. Overall it's a great value/DVD.Movie Review: I recommend this DVD to everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I was 10 years old, I've had problems with chronic headaches. I've seen many neurologists and had spent 20 years looking for relief before I bought this DVD. As soon as I started the AM & PM Stretch, I realized that I have serious muscle tension issues in my neck and back. Now, as long as I do these stretches once or twice a week, I never get headaches. These stretches make me feel great.
The PM Stretch is the ultimate stress reliever. After the AM Stretch, I am ready to take on the world. I started doing these stretches 2 years ago and I still do them at least once a week.
The events that lead me to buying this DVD: I fell off of a cliff while playing paintball. I dislocated my shoulder. Months later I started having severe pains in my upper back. I saw a chiropractor who recommended I try some stretches. I bought this DVD. No more upper back pain. No more headaches. I feel great!
Do yourself a favor and try these stretches.
Movie Review: Terrific choice for a stretch DVD.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this along with Tamilee's Total Stretch DVD last year. I was looking for something the average person (me) could use without further injuring myself (I'd recently had back surgery.)
Both of these DVDs were excellent and I still use them today, despite having purchased many other yoga DVD over the last year. Unlike many of the DVDs out there, these two will give anyone a good stretch, but are more geared to the beginner.
I like both the AM and PM workouts. They are each roughly 30-minutes in length. I'm not as fond of the additional 20-minute workout, but it's a free addition, so all is well. I'd gladly pay the asking price for just the two half-hour workouts.
The scenery in this DVD is phenomenal and the stretches are thorough. Very well done.
Between this DVD and Tamilee's Total Stretch, you have all the variety and options necessary to incorporate stretching into your daily/weekly routine. Very highly recommended.
Movie Review: Exactly what I was looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not want a workout. I wanted something to feel good and help me de-stress. Stretching is the only form of exercise I enjoy and that's what this video is, enjoyable (I've never said that about a workout video before).
I am most interested in the PM stretch for relaxation purposes and it's perfect. It hits all the areas I have problems with because I wear heels and work at a desk. The morning stretch is good too. If I had to make any complaint, it would be that the morning stretch is a little too "power" for me, but I get why it was done that way.
I especially like that the instructor looks like a real person in a real setting, and not some bunny on a beach. In fact, it's set in one of my favorite places in the world, the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in Banff, Canada. I'm a Southern girl but loved that place so much I got married there; and watching the scenery of this video brings me back and relaxes me even more.
