I'm almost 40 and have never been as flexible as I am after one month of using this DVD.It has helped my golf game and made me feel like a whole new person.I actually can't wait every morning to wake up and start my day with about 25 minutes of stretching.In fact, many days I do the routine twice!The time goes fast and you feel so good and are completely relaxed that before you know it you've done 25 minutes of stretching and feel great.

Product Description:
STRETCH MAX is a 60 minute program that consists of three 20 minute stretching segments. The stretches you will see are a hybrid of basic, athletic-based, yoga-based, and gymnastic-based. Feel free to do any or all of the segments as often as you like. For best results and to enhance your flexibility, it's recommended that you do at least one of the segments 3 times per week. Also note that you should be completely warmed up before participating in the segments. Cathe personally likes to stretch after a minimum of a 20 minute cardio. That's when she finds her muscles completely pliable and open to elasticity gains. Each segment focuses on stretching all of the major muscle groups in the body. Segment one does this without any equipment, while segment 2 uses a stability ball and segment 3 uses a resistance band. The overall atmosphere on the workouts is calm and peaceful with very little talking once in the stretch.

Rejuvenation Alignment & Mobility Kit Review

Rejuvenation Alignment & Mobility Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't know what I did without this roller.I bought it from Amazon last year after using a similar roller during yoga class and realizing how effectively it massaged sore glutes and leg muscles.

Before that, when I occasionally splurged on a professional massage, I would ask for a little calf and glute action but ... well, the glutes especially require someone who really knows how to do deep-tissue massage and I usually went away disappointed.

This roller lets you target knots and really work them -- as gently or aggressively as you want.

And since I first encountered them at yoga, I've tried at bunch at other yoga studios and gyms.There's a lot of variance re: sizes and firmness.This one's my favorite.18 inches is long enough that you don't fall off, but not so long that you need your own yoga studio to use it.It's also firm enough to get at those knots.

Oh -- and I love the celery green color.

Totally satisfied.In fact, I'm ordering another one right now for my yoga buddy.

I got this for my daughter who is a dancer thinking it would help her stretch.What a waste of money.The black nylon strap rolls over on itself and then it will not continue to pull for a stretch.

DO NOT BUY IT, WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET.

Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever Review

Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had back pain in the past, and even surgery for 2 heriatied disks in my lower back about 8 years ago (with a VERY positive outcome), and I'm only 48.Sciatica pain, but not from an injury.Then this holiday, I started in with the horrible sciatica pain and tingling in my leg and got scared. I can't do surgery again (but it was the only thing that helped).

So I started looking for something to help. I researched opinions on Amazon for the Back2life product and found a link to[....] to their review, and what they recommended, and that's where I found out about the Nubax product. I viewed some videos on YouTube and purchased it right away.

The packing of the product in the box is FANTANSTIC, and believe me, this is important.I purchases many items via mail order, and lots of things come poorly packed and damaged. You don't want to spend $300 on a product to have it show up damaged.

The assembly of the product is extremely simple, and it actually took more time to take the parts out of the box and remove the protective packing than it took to put it together.

The quality of the product is exceptional, considering the price and that it's made in China.It really is strong and well made.

It comes with an instruction book and a cd. It is very easy to use, and I feel relief right away. I can really feel the stretch in my spine from hip area to the mid shoulder area.I've never experienced anything like this.
I tried inversion tables, but I get motion sick when I hang upside down, so it doesn't work for me. And I can't afford the cost of going through multiple back traction therapies.

Thank you for bringing this product to the US!

Product Description:
Relieve lower back pain. Perform physically demanding activity.Maintain mobility and a healthy lifestyle.The Nubax operates on the very simple principal of leverage.By kneeling into the device and leaning forward, the trunk of your body becomes suspended over a common pivot point, while being held at either end of your back, hip and shoulders, a strong gentle traction is created along your spine as gravity forces each end to move apart around the pivot point.The Nubax Trio is a functional therapeutic device that provides traction therapy that can be effective in Occupational Health, Sports and Exercise, Pain Management or Pre-activity Warmup.Best of all, this device can be used in the privacy of your home.Nubax Trio is lightweight, compact, portable, and designed to accommodate a wide variety of body shapes.

Teeter Hang Ups EZ Up Inversion Rack Review

I wanted one of these for a long time.I just didn't know it.I always loved the Hangup Boots, but never bought them because I didn't want the big inversion table.Then I woke up one morning with a drive to get the boots and just find something (a jungle gym perhaps) to hang from.And then I saw this rack that hangs in your door.It was perfect!It installed easily in my studio doorway.It can be used for pullups or just something to stretch out with everytime I walk in and out of the room.Our daughter is constantly climbing onit and inadvertantly getting great exersise.I did get the inversion boots as well and try to find ten minutes a day to hang upside down.It gets blood to the brain and takes pressure off the spine.You can get a totally different work out being inverted.I highly recommend this to everyone, but especially fellow yogis.Yoga is great for working out back problems and this rack (paired with the Hangup boots) really helps with strengthening and lengthening the back.Cobra pose without a floor!
I am glad I didn't hessitate in getting this.I use it everyday.

Product Description:
The Teeter Hang Ups EZ-Up inversion rack offers a full body stretch and is a great tool for inverted exercises (like crunches, sit-ups and squats). Full range inverted sit-ups become ten times tougher than horizontal sit-ups--with minimal load on the back. It installs to the top of a door frame, but does not interfere with the function of the door, and takes up no floor space--ideal for cramped living spaces.
The EZ-Up inversion rack is compatible with optional Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. Designed for the fit and flexible user, it offers a safe and convenient method of full inversion. The dual bar system is designed for easier mounting and dismounting, and allows you to hang free from the door frame for maximum range of motion.
Feature Detail:

    Sturdy materials assembled with bolts (no welds)
    Adjustable for doorways 28" to 36"
    Locking brackets are mounted with screws in the door frame for security. Locking pieces snap over the rack to keep it in place, but can be unlocked to remove the rack from the door frame. In place, the rack will not interfere with the operation of the door.
    Door savers help protect the door frame from damage.
    Easy-to-reach handles provide help to the user for moving into and out of the inverted position.
    Double-bar system places the user out and above the door frame for extra height and full range of movement. You don't have to bend completely in half to mount and dismount the rack.
    High-quality, scratch-resistant powder-coating
    Foam hand grips make mounting and dismounting more comfortable, and help prevent calluses and slippery hands when performing chin-ups.
    Weight capacity: 250 pounds

Note about installation:
The EZ-Up inversion rack must be installed in a solid wood door frame constructed according to national building code standards.

Black High Density Foam Rollers - Extra Firm - 4 Sizes Available Review

Black High Density Foam Rollers - Extra Firm - 4 Sizes Available
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is kind of like reviewing a pencil- you sharpen it and it writes- use the other end if you make a mistake.

Well, how much can you say about a foam roll. You lay it down and then you lay down on it. Can be kicked under the couch for those that don't want to lift it. If you drop it, it won't break. Well, don't take my word for it. Read more reviews about a foam roll to be sure.

Seriously though, as foam rolls go, this one is good. It's high density foam, so it won't break apart like the kind of foam that is used to package boxed items. I weigh 175 pounds and found it to be firm YET there's an inherent amount of "give" to it that keeps it from becoming uncomfortable.

So if you're interested in a foam roll to stretch out on, I'd have to say this is a good choice. Also consider Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis if you need a decent exercise program for your back.
