Quick, Simple, Effective., Mar 20 2011
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Save Your Lower Back: Release Strengthen & Stretch (DVD)
Modern life is hell on our backs. Between the computer and the TV our poor backs are getting stiff and weak, a sitting duck for injury, sitting (or shlumping!) being the operative word. "Save Your Lower Back" with Annette Fletcher is a wonderful antidote, and your whole body will thank you, as it stretches and strengthens not just the back but the muscles around the back, and it just makes you feel wonderful all over.This DVD is made for ordinary people. No matter what kind of shape you're in, you'll get the most out of it. And at 45 minutes (this includes a tutorial of your muscles, as well as an excellent teaching segment on posture) it isn't overwhelming. As a senior, I can vouch for it being perfect for keeping flexibility in a body that if left alone quickly gets creaky and stiff. Along with going to the gym, I'm going to use this DVD regularly, because it really makes me feel fabulous, and you can feel fabulous at any age!
Favorite moves include the breaststroke, and the final heavenly hip stretch. If like me, you find sitting cross-legged hard on your knees, the one exercise that has this position I did with my legs straight out, about a foot apart, and got a lot out of the stretch. Always modify according to what your body can do.
Annette is an expert teacher and knows how to explain each move perfectly. The exercises don't take much room (as much as arms width and full length with your arms stretched overhead) and you'll need a towel or mat for the floor and a towel folded for your head. Quick, simple and effective, this DVD is great!

Effective self-help for the lower back and hips, April 20 2011
By Seir - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Save Your Lower Back: Release Strengthen & Stretch (DVD)
I found "Save Your Lower Back," a totally effective and user friendly program which alleviates common issues of the lower back, hips and thighs. Best yet, it is gentle enough for anyone who can sit on the floor and use gentle stretching. I find myself using this program several times a week and I wish to recommend it to anyone who leads a sedentary lifestyle which can shorten important muscles groups. In turn, it appears I found relief for my sciatica issues.This program brings awareness to stabilizing the psoas muscle and those surrounding. Strengthening the core means a strong healthy back and strong thighs. The program begins with relaxation of the muscles of the lower back allowing them to relax so that strengthening exercises can become effective. The concept here is, "how can you strengthen tight muscles?" These exercises allow chiropractic adjustments and massages to become more effective, of which I am a huge fan.
The 45 minute program includes these sections: Annette's welcome, an illustrated explanation of the location and function of the muscles of the lower back and hips; floor stretches which focus on releasing, strengthening, and stretching the hips, shoulders, lumbar area and lower back.
I have used all of Annette Fletchers previous programs with positive results, and this now is my favorite.

Great simple exercises anyone can do, Mar 22 2011
By YogaGirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Save Your Lower Back: Release Strengthen & Stretch (DVD)
I absolutely agree with the previous reviewer. This is a dvd for every level. Unlike her previous Joint Mobility dvd, which could be difficult for older adults and the inflexible, these exercises can be done by anyone at any age. Everything is done at a relaxed and easy pace. If you are looking for a dvd for a sore, tight back or a tired back from sitting at a computer all day, then this is the dvd for you.
