Some new Aging Backwards workouts on ETV

[JackieB]

There's new content on ETV--4 30-minute workouts from Miranda called "Aging Backwards for Beginners". These aren't the PBS workouts...looks like new content. Miranda is at the science center...the PBS set was filmed at the Spa Eastman. Looks like new exclusive content.

ETV must have just added them in the last day or two. I hadn't seen it and wasn't aware Miranda had filmed anything new.

Those are new! I didn't see them yesterday; can't wait to try! Thanks, JackieB!

Oh - I wonder if they will release this to DVD? I may just need to subscribe for a month so I could do these and Sahra's new full body workout.

The Essentrics site does say "coming soon to DVD" on these workouts.

Although, as we know, they have an interesting concept of the idea of "soon."

LOL - very true!

I subscribed for only one month to try Sahra's new one, and now I'm missing it, and with these new ones out... it's tempting to purchase another month.

It kind of bothers me to subscribe as I own all the dvds. I'm a bit addicted to Sahra's new workout though and do it at least 1X/week, and one week I did it twice.

I'm spinning my wheels today; really need to do a workout. Maybe I'll try one of Miranda's new ones.

LOL, I know, we may be waiting for new DVDs for awhile, but I also do hate to subscribe since I own most of what is out there and it is a pricier subscription at $14.95 per month.

I guess I will try to be patient, or, if I can't, I will subscribe for a month just to try the new ones!

I'm thinking of re-subscribing to try these. Any reviews?

I decided to try the streaming service this fall. I've done all but one of the Aging Backwards workouts on EVT. She goes slowly, but her cuing is better than in the PBS daily episodes.

I find I really appreciate how slowly and deliberately she walks us through. They seem even more deliberate and more strategically choreographed (wrong word, but you get the idea) than her PBS Aging Backwards episodes.

Her PBS Aging Backwards episodes are entitled: Posture, Body Shape, Pain Relief, Weight Loss.

Her EVT episodes are entitled: Posture, Pain Relief, Mobility, Bone Strengthening.

If I don't get distracted, maybe I'll spend this week doing a comparison/contrast of the 4 episodes (I need to repeat, this is contingent on my not getting distracted by T-Tapp or the Callanetics streaming I'm also indulging in this fall).

editing to add:

I did EVT AB Posture. About 17 mins of standing: slow, deliberate arm work, spinal flexion and some spinal extension, shoulder blasts, wash the windows, wash the table, a variation on side windmills (again, slow and deliberate). About 11 mins on the floor: a bit of side work, then on the back for baby stretches and hamstring/glute stretches (all slow and deliberate).

I'm sure I missed very important bits, but this is what I remember. She talked about which back muscles were being worked with the above the head arms and about what core muscles were being worked also. She talked about how relaxation could lead to strength.

I really loved it. She wears a light turquoise t-shirt that I clearly need in my wardrobe.
