I acquired this tape through the exchange. It's one of the best exchanges I've made. I cannot praise this tape enough!! Its length, around 35 minutes, perfectly suits my needs.

My flexibility has improved after just a few weeks. I only do the actual tape 1 to 2x a week, but, on the stretching part of all my other tapes, I pause the tape and do the hamstring, outer hip and inner thigh stretches learned from Pure and Simple Stretch. I now find the stretch sections on most other tapes to be inadequate. Thanks to this tape, I realize the importance of flexibility in a balanced fitness schedule.

One of the parts of the tape I really appreciate is the series of stretches she includes at the end of the routine. She thoroughly stretches the entire neck and shoulder area, which is where I tend to be tense during periods of stress. I feel very relaxed after the doing the tape.

I'm so glad to be able to include Karen in my rotation again! I had sort of phased her tapes out, yet she is the instructor that hooked me on fitness (Your Personal Best). She is one of the best fitness instructors on video. I highly recommend this tape.

Instructor Comments:
I have always liked Karen Voight's teaching style. She is informative and provides excellent form instruction. In this video she seems a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera during the introduction, but, once she starts into the routine, she is her usual most-excellent-teacher self. She has a very calm and gentle demeanor as she guides you through a series of very effective stretches.
