I wanted a stretching video and read great things about the Mattes method. I opted for this one instead of one from Dr. Mattes after reading some reviews. It is indeed very comprehensive and educational, but it is not like an excercise video format. It shows each strech exercise and then the next one. Since you supposed to do the stretch 8 to 10 times and 3 sets, there is not time for do it and move on to the next one. Its literally an 1 hr. 30 min. video showing different stretches, but not a routine. You have to decide which ones you want to do and build your own routine and then do it independently of the video. I was looking for a workout video format where I just follow the instructor. This is probably more applicable to a professional trainer or therapist, not the average consumer looking to be led in stretching.
But my rating is for the fact I spend $50 to get something that isn’t what I really wanted. The description isn’t really clear on Amazon. Yes, its a how-to, but not a ‘follow me’, type video. The content is high quality and its well done. Just not what I wanted.
The stretching exercises on the Dynamic Flexibilty DVD have helped me maintain my flexibility over the years, allowing me to continue social dancing, which I love, as well as maintain correct and supple posture in my daily life. These exercises have helped decrease chronic tension in my neck, have helped maintain balance in hips, which tend towards disorganization, and have also helped rehabilitate several serious injuries. I highly recommend this DVD.
