Homestretch

Charlene Prickett
Year Released: 1988

Categories: Athletic Stretch


If you are looking for a non-yoga, athletic type stretch tape I would highly recommend this one. Others have broken down the tape, I'll just add my comments.
Charlene delivers tons of info about how and when to stretch. She includes flexibility tests and diagrams of the muscle being worked. I learned that my tight hamstrings are what keep me from being able to do those yoga seated forward bends properly.
She explains how flexibility exercises help your body avoid back, neck, and knee pain and injury.
This tape is best done after an energetic aerobic type workout. The stretches are held for a long time. Long enough to laugh at the wacky outfits that yell1980's

Instructor Comments:
Charlene's chattiness is just her way. It seems natural to me. (Not forced perkiness or phoniness like some instructors). Especially in this tape as she has to give out a lot of information. I find her unique - a grown woman who loves to exercise vigorously and seems to really love life.
