Fabulous at any age!
I have purchased many workouts in my quest for the "perfect stretch" (Tamilee, Miranda, Madeleine, etc.) I absolutely LOVE this workout! It is one of the most gentle stretch workouts I have ever done! There is a quick standing warm-up in which you sort of sway your body side to side, then do some gentle side lunges and arm pulls that remind me of tai chi. Next comes the floor stretches, almost all of which are done on your back, in which you point your leg straight up, then bring it down. Floor exercises also include some hip opening moves. You end the floorwork on your hands and knees with some cat stretches. Next is seated floorwork where you sit with your legs wide and stretch your arms from one side of your body to the other. Finally you're standing again for some quick finishing stretches. There is nothing new here, but the moves are practiced at a nice, gentle pace ... not too fast, not too slow. The workout is done voice-over style, and the music is very soothing. The ocean background adds to the total relaxation experience. I really enjoyed this stretch! There is also a section on how your muscles & tendons work, and how your breathing works - it was interesting, but as it is separately chaptered, it can be easily skipped. I am so glad I found this DVD!

Wonderful Stretch & Relax Video
I just got Fabulous Forever Easy Stretch by Mirabai Holland. It is excellent. The entire video is soothing from beginning to end. While I was doing it I felt like I was in a trance and I could feel myself loosening up. The 45 minutes went by like nothing. When I finished it I was glowing. I felt like I'd been to the Spa. It's the most relaxing workout I've ever done and what great stretches.

a nice stretch
I'm glad I took a chance on this video. The instructor is personable and she focuses on the task at hand - no annoying chatter or weird camera angles. The scenery, at a lake in the mountains, is pleasant. The routine is enjoyable from beginning to end. This is an "active stretch" format, meaning lots of movement, instead of "static" stretch. Makes me feel like I've had a rejuvenating mini-spa experience, guided by a thoughtful instructor.

Mirabai mentions "lubricating the joints," and at first I wondered "so what? who needs that?" Well, after doing the video a few times and noticing how much better my joints move, I now say "hey, I need that!" If your joints creak and pop this is a great video for you too.
