I really enjoy this video. It's short so I'm more likely to do it than Angles, Lines and Curves. It's tough to find a good stretch video that's not yoga, and this one fits the bill. I've been sick for the past several days and already I've done this one twice. It requires very little energy, but the rewards are great. On occasion it has even made me so relaxed that I go to sleep immediately after completing it. This is a good total body stretch tape, good quality production, nice jazzy music and a great instructor. I think if she had been perky it would've taken away from the relaxing atmosphere.

Instructor Comments:
She's calm and soothing. Contrary to what others have written, I don't find her demeanor to detract from the workout in any way. It's a stretch video, not an aerobic one. She doesn't have to smile for me to feel the stretch. After I learn the routine, I don't really look at her any more, just close my eyes and enjoy the relaxation. I probably would've never noticed her demeanor if so many people hadn't commented on it. I like to watch the girl in the cool blue unitard. She looks like a dancer. I don't mean to be mean, but the guy with the glasses reminds me of Milhouse from the Simpsons!!!
