Mianda's New Book

DD546 · 02-26-23, 12:57 PM

Miranda has a new book coming out on February 28th called "The Miracle of Flexibility." Does anyone know anything about this book beyond the description on Amazon? I usually check out the library first, but I'm considering pre-ordering this one. Miranda is offering a bonus workbook as well as entry for a possibility of winning free Essentrics TV for a year if you pre-order. I also like to support her work. Any insights or information would be appreciated.

Looks like there was some discussion of it last month at http://forum.videofitness.com/showth...le+Flexibility

It looks and sounds really good!

Thanks for posting about this. I was just watching Miranda's newest fund-raising program on PBS. It's called Aging Backwards 4: The Miracle of Flexibility (2023). I haven't done any Classical Stretch/Essentrics for a long time. I need to get back into it. Miranda and her students make a compelling case.

Yours in fitness and health.

I just pre-ordered the book. I'll report back once I receive it and have a chance to look at it.

Please do! I'm very tempted! I've been really wanting to improve my flexibility for a while now, and I've been trying to do more Essentrics.

This part really tempts me. I would love that. My only hesitation is that I don't do too well with paper workouts, and like videos so much more. I can see myself getting the book, browsing through it quickly, and then it would gather dust. But oh, a year of free Essentrics TV would be a delight!

It looks like there are about four new half-hour Aging Backwards 4 workouts on Essentrics TV. And two beginner short ones. I think they go with the PBS special.

Great! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I'm still waiting to see excerpts or hear more about the content. I saw someone perusing the book in one of their Instagram stories. There were a lot of photos. My impression is this is more of a "manual" for Essentrics.

I should have known better after purchasing the last book! Pages 33 - 427 are all pictures with instructions on how to do the exercise.

Just requested a return authorization from Amazon; I can drop off at a UPS store tomorrow.
