Karen Voight:Pure & Simple Stretch

Rating:
Summary: New Cover, Old Video
Review: The cover of this DVD looks very sophisticated and new, yet the material inside is very old. I looked inside and the copyright date is 1991, which is exactly how it looks. Very deceiving.

However, the stretches covered by Karen are very good, even though for more active people it may be boring (but stretching is not for entertainment or fun, it's to help your body out). After going through the session (I have not stretched before), my body had a welcome warm feeling and it was the best feeling I've felt in a while. It's what my body has been waiting for. So if you are a semi- or regular exerciser, you need a DVD such as this to show you the proper techniques for lengthening and stretching your muscles so you can perform better.

Summary: Pure & simple ...exactly what it says!
Review: This is my first experience with Ms. Voight, and I was pleasantly surprised. This video leaves you feeling very calm and euphoric, and the music is pleasant as well. There is 10 minutes of warm up followed by 30 minutes of full body stretching.
I was most impressed with her descriptions of the stretches, which allowed me to concentrate on the movement instead of trying to watch what she was doing and compromising my form.
I will purchase more of her videos based on this one.
There is no equipment to buy - just a couple of towels. Great Job Karen!
