Looking for Pure Stretch Workout

Sharaz · 03-31-12, 10:02 AM

I realize that I'm negleting streching due to laziness

Also, over the years I think I need more that just a few short stretches after the workouts. I'm looking for a pure stretching workout similar to Savage with Michael O. & Leila Fazel. This one is 30 min and stretch each body part. The one from the Rushfit set is 30 min too and meets my need. I will prefer a workout with mystical/trance/drums type of music & voice over. Also, around de 30 min mark.

Recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Karen Voight has an old one (think heavy eye makeup) that is called...Pure & Simple Stretch. If you can get past the dated outfits it is a great basic stretch routine.

I am not sure if you are saying the Rushfit one is just okay, or if you really like it. I like the Rushfit one, and I have been really trying to find more stretch routines as well that are in the 10 - 30 minute range. So, I am going to recommend a couple that don't fit your voice over request, but that I like to alternate with the stretch from Rushfit. Cathe's Stretch Max - three 20 minute routines, and Tony Horton's Power Half Hour (gifted to me by a lovely VFer

). If you do his whole routine it is 30 minutes, but the first 10 minutes is a dynamic stretch and the next 20 are deeper stretches, so if I am finishing a tough workout with this I skip the first 10 minutes (it is chaptered) and do the 20 minute deep stretch. Tony's P90X Stretch is also very nice, though it is an hour long. Sometimes I do segments from that as well. Cathe's Stretch Max has one routine using no equipment, one using a resistance band and one using a stability ball - each around 20 minutes. I tend to do the no equipment one and the resistance band one.

The stretch segment on Karen Voight's Slim Physique is about 25 min and stretches the entire body nicely. I would also recommend Cathe's Stretch Max.

Thanks for the input

I will be looking to the DVD's recommended. A-bot I do like Rushfit. Something like that is ok. I prefer voiceover, but it's does matter to a degree of not wanting them. I need those stretch short routines after my intense workouts to avoid injuries and stiffness.

I want the rushfit stretch bonus dvd, but see they don't sell it separately on their website. If anyone wants to do a trade, PM me..

Tamilee Webb's stretching workout is very good. The DVD has 3 10 minute stretches and a different 30 minute one. For the 10 minute segments one is standing, one is seated, and one is on the floor. I highly recommend it.

I have Sahra Esmonde-White's Essentrics Flexibility Workout for Athletes, as it was recommended highly by people on this board

I really like this one for pure stretching, and I usually don't enjoy stretching by itself. It is broken up into chapters, so you can do the whole DVD for a whole body stretch, or break it down into smaller chunks based on what you are trying to do that day.

You can purchase it here:
http://www.essentrics.com/store.html

ETA: It is voice over and each segment is around 20 minutes, I believe. It is very relaxing.

I think I may be able to past it. The music is very relaxing and her voice is nice.
