This is a 40-minute stretch workout, and it's very relaxing and thorough. You'll stretch muscles you didn't even know existed (your ileo-tibial band (sp?)). You'll also stretch places you never think to do on your own, like your forearm and inside forearm. Some of the stretches are just *so* delicious. For stretching the base of your neck, you lie on your back with your head in your hands (like in situp position). Then you pull your head up with your arms (not your neck muscles), and you feel a wonderful stretch at the base of your neck. I could do this for hours, it feels so good!

Each stretch is held for at least 30 seconds so you have the
chance to really relax the muscle. During the stretches, Charlene tells you interesting things about the muscle in question. Charts pop up on the screen showing you exactly where the muscle is located -- I think this helps in making sure you're getting the right spot.

Modifications are shown for most of the stretches, sometimes even two or three modifications. She also gives tips for pregnant women.

This is one of my favorite stretch tapes because it's so thorough. It gets an A+ from me!
