Product Description: Relaxation is key in Denise Austin: Stretch and Flex. This 30- minute session stages a calming and restorative routine of limbering and lengthening poses that have the possibility of relaxing both body and mind. Austin presents this class in a low-key manner, using a soft voice to deliver informative directional cues. Participants familiar with yoga will find a comfortable cross-section of yoga postures throughout this format. A broad range of people can enjoy the dual benefit and applicability of this exercise style because it is slow and safe (yet effective). All major muscles of the body are given attention through overhead extensions of the arms, deep lunges, and forward bends. Transitions from pose to pose are exact and fluid, without being overly challenging or ineffective. New age music plays in the background and a peaceful aura exudes from the light-colored surroundings on the set. This video offers increased flexibility and muscle elasticity, which can speed metabolism and stave off exercise-induced injuries to tendons and joints. A light warm-up (for example, a 10-minute walk) would complement this class well, allowing participants to hold stretches longer and move deeper into each pose. Overall Denise Austin: Stretch and Flex would be a welcome accompaniment to any fitness regimen because of the terrific attention to safety. --Olivia Voigts

A Secret All-time Favorite
Denise's Stretch and Flex video is one of my long-time personal favorites -- and I'm a Yoga instructor with twelve years of teaching experience. This is definitely my "stretch of choice", and I'm on my third copy of this video after two others wore out from years of constant use. The stretches are challenging enough to work, and more importantly, Denise stretches the entire body in sequence, going from head to toe so that no muscle group is ignored or glossed over. Years ago, I ran into a fellow Yoga instructor at Starbucks, and both of us admitted to doing this video on a regular basis. We agreed it was a "guilty pleasure". I've ordered this video for my daughter and for friends, and it's traveled on vacation with me all over the U.S. Many of these stretches ARE Yoga-based, but Denise's no-nonsense approach to them makes them accessible and do-able.

Love It!!
I love using this tape after I workout, or if I just want to relax at the end of the day. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I've noticed a change in my flexibility, especially while working out. At first I couldn't do her floor stretches because it hurt too much, but now I can do them and it feels great!! I will continue to use this tape and I highly recommend it!!!

GREAT RELAXATION TAPE
I am a big fan of Denise Austin and use many of her tapes, I found I was looking for just a stretching tape and this one is great, it has soft relaxing music playing in the background, and it flows nicely from one stretch to the next. At the end of the tape my whole body feels relaxed and I get a great nights sleep. If you are looking for a great tape to unwind too at the end of the day, I highly recommend this one.

Love It!!!!!!
I use this tape about 3x's a week. I love it!!!! 30 minutes of pure stretching. This tape is so relaxing. There is no loud music and she's not hollering and running her mouth. Don't get me wrong,
I dig denise, but sometimes she can be a little loud.Overall, you will feel your body within a few months.

I think this one is a winner
I purchased this tape from Virgin Mega music store. I reviewed it couple of times, just to make sure it was not a yoga or pilates tape.
Yesterday I did this tape before going to bed, and after a very on long day... I woke up feeling good. I have decided to do this day 5 nights a week before a hot shower and hitting the bed.
I am going to incorparate it into my other fitness goals.
It's very important to stretch and this one appears to be a winner for me!!!!
