I pulled my left trapezius (doing I know not what) so instead of doing my previously scheduled strength workout, I decided to unwrap Millenium Stretch and give it a try. I love this tape! The workout is very relaxing and thorough. The toughest thing you do is hold a lunge, but other than that, you decide how deep to stretch, so I think that even though Collage calls this "Intermediate", a beginner could do it.

Scott tends to work one side of the body through a series of stretches before going on to the other side. This may make it seem longer, but if you're in a "gotta rush through my workout mood" this a) isn't the right tape to do; OR b) this tape will fix that! The stretches are nice and long, some held for more than a minute.

Scott uses visualization to help you get deeper into some of the poses. He even talks you through any skepticism you have about it.

Throughout the video Scott and his group (a mixed race, mixed gender class, wearing baggy white pants and tank tops) mirror you. Although they are working on yoga mats, I don't think a yoga mat is necessary, at least, not for stickiness. You may want something to cushion you during the seated stretches, but a towel or exercise mat would work just fine.

Instructor Comments:
I love Scott Cole! He cues well, doesn't bark instructions at you, and just seems very easy going and friendly. He injects a little humor (but no Gin Miller-style vocal impersonations. I love at the end when he does slow motion movements ("Now you've caught the football." Do you spike the ball? No! You give it to a small child.") He's just great!
