Relax into Stretch - DVD

Nine stars only because it's rather expensive for the total time offered. But considering what a coaching session like this would cost, it's still a bargain, especially since you can view it repeatedly. Pavel concentrates a lot of useful information into a short period. His approach to "breathing into" the exercises works and accomplishes much. He covers pretty much every major body area from head to toe. I like the whole "tough Russian" approach and his sense of humor. But he gets serious and makes sure you have a solid background, including safety points, so you can perform each exercise correctly. Pavel's videos always have excellent production values, which is refreshing compared to the amateurish productions too many other fitness experts sell. Definitely recommended.

A couple of very well explained and demonstrated techniques by Pavel, have dramatically changed my attitude about stretching. I used to dread stretching, finding it tedious all but eliminating it from my routine. What was I thinking? "Everyone who lifts weights must do this stretch..and everyone must lift weights. Truer words have not been spoken. Thanks again Pavel for your knowledge.

I bought this DVD rather than the "Joints" one because it's been 30 years since I've done any exercise. I'm 60. I've watched "Joints" at a friend's house and it's awesome, but Relax into Stretch promised more information about stretching--the what and whys as well as the hows. I've never been taught the what and why and the how has always been too harsh and bouncy. I bought an education as well as a set of exercises.

The program is divided with the more "newbie" stretches at the front. Mr. T gives various ways to accomplish the stretches when appropriate and I found that very comforting. Yes, comforting. One: stretching should yield more comfort than experienced before the stretch and Two: my vertebrae are quite flexible if one thinks becoming subluxated is flexible. The stronger exercises on "joints", which I did try at my friend's house, were not comfortable at this stage in my training. So "Relax" looked very good...and it is. Now, to find a way to get myself to actually do them regularly. Ah...well...I've signed up with Samuel Jones RKC in Lincolnton NC and I think he will be able to motivate me not only to use this lovely vid, but to find the body I lost.

Me and my friend actually just watched and participated in this DVD interactively.
He could never in his life touch his toes even though he played sports.
I have not been able to touch my toes since I stopped consistently practicing martial arts about 5-6 years ago.
We BOTH could touch our toes the first time using Pavel's techniques.
It was an awesome feeling
we're both pretty confident that we will be able to regularly touch our toes within months, easily.

Once again, an excellent product with zero bs. Delivery was prompt and will return for more products...

I have learnt what Pavel preaches and now find myself preaching and teaching others,
After performing a couple of streches with a fellow peer he was astonished and said " its like MAGIC " sounds cheesy but its true
A big thank you to Pavel

I've always wanted to stretch, but I thought I never could.
I've tried and tried, and always failed, and I thought it was
me - it wasn't. Relax into Stretch gave me a common sense approach
backed by solid techniques that had me touching my toes instantly!
I recommend this dvd to anyone who wants to incorporate flexibility
into their fitness regime - awesome!

Great DVD with stretches for your entire body and with menu options to quickly select specific stretches.

I have noticed over a short period of time an increased flexibility and release of tension in areas that have bothered me for some time.

Effective stretching along with strength training (Power to the People) is proving to be a powerful combination!

I have been searching for years for the answer to how to correctly stretch. I am convinced Pavel has the answer to that question and am very happy I have his video. Another bonus is that his no-nonsense approach gets you through all the stretches in a short amount of time, so even someone on a busy schedule will benefit from this video. Also, I think it is usable for various fitness levels.
