DVD Reviews of AM/PM Stretch for Health
DVD Review: AM/PM Stretch For Health
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is very easy to follow and gives you a good stretch. It is not too strenuous.DVD Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used the DVD for about a month now. I like the AM stretch, but somehow the PM doesn't do much for me. The other reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that if you're inflexible (one of the reasons I bought the DVD!), some of the stretches are just impossible to do. And, like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, there are a certain number of the "stretches" that are actually strength moves -- I use this after my Pilates or Core workout, so really just want a good stretch. It's not a bad DVD, I'm not really sorry I bought it, but it's not perfect for my needs.DVD Review: Excellent Stretching Routine
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this as a VHS tape and loved it so much that I purchased it again as a DVD. What I like about both the routines is their ease and effectiveness. You don't rush from one position to another like some yoga routines. Instead you have time to melt into the stretch which if you are as tight as I am is a major plus. The morning routine is done initially on your back and you work toward the standing up position; thus, allowing your body a chance to really "wake up." The evening one starts with more standing positions and you move toward prone on the floor; thus, allowing the body to relax and unwind. Regardless of which routine I do, I always feel so much better afterwards for quite a while. I would wholeheartedly advise someone to add this to their excercise DVD collection.DVD Review: Highly approved this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Madeleine Lewis' am/pm yoga in video cassette format several years ago. I've tried others but this is by far my favorite series! I use both the am and pm routines equally and even mix them up........pm in the am hours and vice versa. Though they have different routines of stretching I don't favor one over the other. Fearing my video cassettes would wear out or break on me eventually I searched for it in DVD form and happily found this one. The real bonus is the power stretching version which is terrific.
This may be too mild for heavy duty workout exercisers but would make an excellent warm up or cool down after vigorous exercise. Madeleine does a terrific job of stretching the entire body. I have very tight muscles, back spasms, bad shoulder and plantar fasciitis and have lost a lot of flexibility as I age. At times I stray away from doing these and then wonder why I ever did as it feels so good when I do them. When I'm on track they are a daily routine for me. These yoga stretches have improved my entire body greatly. If I wake with stiffness and/or back pain or over do strenuous tasks these yoga routines work out the muscle tension and stiffness and especially the pain. Not only does it help these maladies of mine but my body is much more toned and my posture has improved a great deal.
Just a bit of a downside: Madeleine does get her lefts and rights mixed up now and then and sometimes her easier alternative cues come later in the stretch but the quality of her routines cannot be faulted by this. I quickly overcame her miscues.
DVD Review: Best Stretch Routine Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a definite keeper. These workouts were the first that I've ever done that made me feel better afterwards, not worse. This is the first athletic-style stretch routine that I've done (I usually stick with yoga), but Madeleine Lewis has made me want to explore this genre some more. Also, the routines are not solely focused on flexibility. Many of the stretches require strength to control. The AM workout ends with establishing good posture while the PM one has a brief break for a foot massage. The scenery is as beautiful as you would expect from Gaiam, and the music is gentle and flows well with Madeleine's pleasant voice. Her cuing is very clear and straightforward, which is particularly useful because many of the stretches put you in a position where it is difficult to see the TV screen. I think that this DVD is really selling itself short; in addition to the two 30-minute AM and PM workouts, there is also a 20 minute "Power Stretch" segment. If you only own one stretching video, make it this one.
