I like doing this when I'm warmed up. she gives 2 options for using the vidoe..as a stretch to wake up, etc or to improve flexibility. For the flexibility goal she recommends you do some aerobic activity before doing the stretches.

She leads you through a lot of stretches in the 30 minutes, including lunges. It's not yoga, but she does hold the stetches and says to use a towel to help stretch the legs, etc. I love how long she holds the stretches...most stretch tapes don't hold them long enough for me. I usually do yoga, but for days when I want a 30 minute stretch I usually pop this video in. It's a little boring on the set, but I don't stare at the screen unless I need to see the stretch. I focus on what I'm doing instead of the boring set. Also, she puts some neck stretches at the end. They annoyed me at first because it's hard to bend the head down and see the tv screen at the same time, but once I had them sorta down they felt nice afterwards. Overall a good stretch tape and worth getting IMO!

I wish she'd smile every once in a while though!
