A Great Stretch Video!
Nov 29 2003
This is a great DVD to add to your collection. I do a lot of cardio (kickboxing, step, dance) and weight lifting at the gym and wear high heels all day. My muscles, although toned, were really tight and really needed to be stretched out properly but I never seemed to find the time to do it consistently. This video saved my life. I love the Athletic Intense Stretch (1 of 2 workouts on the video) and saw and felt results in the first workout! She does the best floor workout to stretch hamstrings, legs, hip flexors, even feet! And the upper body arm stretch - I didn't even know my arms needed stretching! This is 50 minutes of pure bliss. I am definitely getting the legs and butt stretch DVD as well. For all you former dancers out there, this stretch mimics the stretching you do before a dance class.

Terrible Video
April 16 2004
This is NOT a stretch video. The "Athletes Intense Stretch" portion is an aerobics routine that looks like a mix between tai-chi and jazzercise. The only moves resembling stretching are dynamic, bouncing movements, which is the incorrect way to stretch. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A STRETCHING VIDEO, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE.
I have tried "Total Stretch for beginners with Tami Lee" and "AM and PM Stretch", and they are both much much better than "Full Body Workout".
Great hour-long total body stretch
Feb 8 2009
This DVD has 2 hour-long segments. The first is a gentle, low impact, ballet-like "full body workout". I personally didn't like it (which is why I rated this 4 and not 5 stars...read on). The second is the "athletes intense stretch" which I really like. It is one full hour of deep stretching of every muscle in the body, and after doing it twice, I FELT the difference in my flexibility, and my low back pain is better. I try to do this workout once a week: usually early in the week, after doing a step class and 4-mile run on the weekend. It almost feels like physiotherapy. Mind you: I like long workouts; if you prefer the quick and dirty, I recommend you get the "perfect in 10 stretch". Minor negatives: it has the video-quality of a homemade video, and the music is odd (sounds like "muzak").

3-1/2 stars, really
I own this DVD and have done the "Classical Stretch Workout" often enough to know the routine (the DVD also includes an "Intense athlete's workout). Read more

Great Routine
I do several different DVD workouts when I travel, mostly yoga, and this is a great addition to my top 3 or 4 DVDs. When I do it in the morning I feel better all day. Read more

Two beautiful workouts
I work out to videos and DVDs regularly, and I have never had a DVD with the same refreshingly old-fashioned, yet well-thought-out approach as Miranda Esmonde brings to these... Read more

Very good, but I was looking for more variety
I enjoyed this DVD, for the most part. Miranda really helps you to stretch your body. My body felt really good after doing these stretches. Read more
