When I do a stretch tape, I want ONLY stretch --
no toning or "rythymic movement" or anything
but stretching. This is because I've already done my
heavy workout for the day, and these tapes are meant, for
me, just to be relaxing and feel good. I knew when I
bought the tape that there was toning included, but I
hoped I could just fast-forward the tape to the stretch
segment and do that. However, I found the stretch part to
be not all that great, and actually pretty short compared
to the rest of the segments. If you're looking for a
light -- very light -- workout that includes warmup,
toning (without weights), and stretching, this is a good
one for you. There's also a nice visualization/
relaxation segment at the end. This video would be an
excellent choice for overweight or older people just
starting an exercise program. For me, though, I decided
there were better stretch tapes that met my needs, so
I've decided to put this in my Waiting For A Garage Sale
Pile.
Instructor comments:Scott Cole (of Jeff & Scott
fame) is a unique instructorwho emphasizes total
mind-body fitness. His videos alwaysinclude some
yoga/tai-chi-type moves, done in a more
"American"way. I like Scott a lot as a teacher
-- he explains movementswell, uses excellent form, and
his cues are right on themark. I also like those muscular
but lean legs!
