Classical Stretch Season 5 - Pure Stretch - Page 2

ardnas · 05-24-17, 04:42 PM

I have an extra copy of Classical Stretch Season 5 Tone & Stretch in case with first disc only (someone here purchased the second disc from me a few years ago).
It arrived loose in case with light surface scratches, but plays fine. CS sent me a replacement (since all original orders of season 5 shipped that way - they started shipping with foam inside or individual envelopes after that) and said to keep the original set.
I'm open to trade, can send pics of disc.
Disc 1 = episodes 501 full body slenderizing, 502 waist & hip toner, 503 posture 1, 508 slenderize calves and ankle, bonus 1 full body toning, and bonus 2 thigh and butt thinner.

What is it about Season 5 that makes it so desirable? Does it have something other seasons don't have?

It went out of print I guess within a year or two after it was made. Miranda wasn't pleased with it. For me, it's just that it was right after Season 4, and I find the therapeutic style and pace of those workouts are great for me when I'm having my back and hip issues. I hoped Season 5 would be somewhat similar. I think, though, that for some others, it's more the desire to have the complete collection without a hole between 4 and 6. =) The season had good reviews here, I believe, but many people didn't have a chance to acquire it before it was pulled.

I had thought I read about the sound, too, but I'm seeing "the look" in this thread: http://www.videofitness.com/~vfwnk/f...d.php?t=143946

There were (2) two-dvd sets: the stretch one - which is what was on Amazon today - and a toning set. (I guess like Aging Backward is in two parts, and was sold both separate and as a complete set of 4.) From looking back at the reviews, I think the toning set had the sound issue, because the mike was placed too close to Miranda's mouth, and Sahra and the gent (her hubby?) were also on it and miked and it didn't work well.

I really have no idea what you're talking about when you say you want to have the complete collection. No comprehension of that concept!

I have all of Season 5 and there are definitely sound issues, but it doesn't bother me that much. Since the workouts are good, I just don't look closely at Miranda. You can see her mouth doesn't match her voice but so what. I recently did all of Season 5 (one episode at a time, of course!) and really enjoyed it.

I have Season 5 (and 4). Not my favorites. I keep them, though, because I hoard my CS/Essentrics

.

Honestly, there are so many other dvds available that I don't think I'd spend a ton of money on acquiring Season 5.

I got Season 5 when it first came out, and it’s always been one of my favorites. Lots of good lower body focus. I can’t say I’ve ever noticed Miranda’s mouth not matching her voice… there is some wind noise sometimes, but that doesn’t bother me.
