Thank you - and just felt like I had to vent. I have posted several reviews over time on Amazon and never had one of the instructors post a comment back. I felt my review was constructive and perhaps maybe why she commented on my review and not someone elses that was also negative.

Kitty, I just read your review with comments and I felt that Donna was respectful and professional in her comments. You pointed out the lack of backbends and she simply clarified why she opted not to include them on her video. She even offered to provide you with alternate stretches which I thought was nice of her.

In case anyone was interested, my comments (much shorter here) pointed out the instructions aren't always the best (as some others have commented) and there is no title menu. I mentioned these were only minor issues. I mentioned that she uses mostly active stretching as opposed to passive stretches. But then I mentioned that there are 25 minutes of back of the body stretches, mostly forward bends, and no backbends to balance them out. I ended up skipping her last few forward bends and doing back bends instead. I felt she did a great job of also hitting shoulders, hips, even wrists and hands but for me missing backbends was a large miss. The only front body stretches she included was a short odd backbend in the opening sequence (arch your upper back and stick your butt out) and a quad stretch. The workout seemed unbalanced to me. I should have copied the review here before I deleted it!! |

I haven't tried CS, but do have the latest Essentrics. I can say that at least Essentrics and Lastics do not feel very similar. Essentrics is active as well, but in a different way. Stretches are not held for a long time in Essentrics and I think CS is similar.
