I love to stretch--my faves are...
I love stretching--especially after a tough cardio workout. It just seems so relaxing and it makes my muscles really feel great. My favorite stretch tape is Tamilee's Beginner Stretch. I have both of her stretch tapes, but I prefer the one in the pink box (their titles are so close that I can't remember the correct name for it right now). I also really love Karen Voight's Pure and Simple Stretch. Karen is deadly serious during this video, and it is pretty long to be used as an add-on (I think it's over 30 minutes), but it is very, very thorough. Kathy Smith has a nice 7 or 8 minute stretch segment at the end of her Timesaver Cardio video that I really like, too. As a matter of fact, I keep that video cued to the beginning of the stretch so I can add it on quickly and easily.

Another vote for Tamilee's stretching videos. If you are in the mood for a long stretch with a relaxation at the end her stretch for flexability is 26 1/2 minutes long. I like to do it first thing in the morning when I get up.
If you don't like the stretching at the end of a tape, her total body stretch for beginners (I think that is the name) has 3 - 10 minute stretching routines, one sitting in a chair, one standing and one on the floor. I have substituted her stretch for some of the later FIRMs because they are a joke. You can do them all in one session or use them seperately. HTH |

Definately Tamilee!
I have both of Tamilee's stretching tapes and they are both wonderful. The one named Beginner Stretch for Flexibility is about 26 minutes and has the duck (I love the duck!). The one named Total Body Stretch for Beginners is the one that has three 10 minute segments, one standing, one sitting in a chair and one on the floor. The segmented one is perfect for after a FIRM workout, that's what I use that one for. The other one I try to use about twice per week and it has really helped with my general flexibility. I've seen allot of improvement in my flexibility because of these tapes. I highly recommend them

Re: Kathy Smith's Instant Workout

I like the Kathy Smith stretch on Instant Workout too, although I haven't done it in a while. I hang onto the tape just in case though.
