Who'd have thought it?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique: Arms & Abs / Legs & Butt (DVD)
That stretching could tone you up so much, even improving definition?? I love Miranda, she is barking (in a good way) and her workouts are excellent. I'm a chronic back pain sufferer, so I use her Back Pain Relief DVD (amazingly fine) and like it so much I bought this as well, which has two 30-minute workouts that the brave could do back-to-back for a REALLY hard hour. Not that I'm that brave... It has something in common with isometric programmes like Lotte Berk's and the Bar Method but I find it even better, and I do feel that stretching is helping my back issues as well. Really terrific, great value and good fun. Oh, and because Miranda isn't some kid, I do feel this programme is encouraging for all.

Not really a stretch dvd,

This review is from: Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique: Arms & Abs / Legs & Butt (DVD)
I bought this dvd because I needed more stretching. I work out a lot but wanted more stretching than the 5-10 seconds you find in most workout dvds. While there is some stretching in the 2 workouts here, they are mostly exercises that contract the muscles, not stretch them. That isn't to say the exercises aren't good, just that the title of the dvd is misleading. It is 'Classical' because most of the exercises are the ones I did in ballet class, but don't expect to increase your flexibility doing them.It's not a bad dvd. The exercises do target your arms, abs, legs and butt and they will get toned if you do the exercises. But don't expect increased flexibility.

Mostly strength training,

This review is from: Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique: Arms & Abs / Legs & Butt (DVD)
I like the DVD, but I was hoping that it would include more stretching. There is a little stretching in this video, but it is mostly strength training. The arms section contains stretching, but there is no stretching of the torso or legs. Some of the exercises are uncomfortable, but Miranda explains why they are necessary.I don't think she is hard to follow, but I watch her program every day on PBS, so I'm used to her. I also love the fact that she's not annoyingly young and perky. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Watch it first, then do it,
By J. Bowen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique: Arms & Abs / Legs & Butt (DVD)
This is a good workout, especially for people that are trying to tone, not necessarily lose weight. Miranda can be hard to follow, she tends to start explaining the exercises in the middle of doing them and then loses track of where she was at. She can also be inconsistent, doing an exercise on one side and not repeating it on the other (a good editor would have caught this). After a few times through, you start to figure out what's going on and it becomes much easier to keep up and do the exercises correctly. It's nice and short, but you do feel like you've done some work at the end.
