AM/PM Stretch for Health
Released in DVD by Living Arts (01 April, 2003)
Average review score: 
Essential to my well beingI am an active woman of 62 and stretching is vital in keeping my body able to do each activity I ask of it. The "a.m. & p.m. stretch" DVD of Madeleine Lewis has made this necessary stretching a pleasure. Her wonderfully soothing voice, her flowing movements, her obvious knowledge of the body encourages me never to miss my morning & evening routines. I feel no important muscle has been neglected and I feel confident that Madeleine is helping me do a really good thing for myself. I especially appreciate her gentle reminders to breathe, check my posture, and persevere. The beauty of the mountains surrounding her is a wonderful bonus and instills feelings of peace and tranquility that I take with me into my busy day. Nature is very important to me so I truly look forward to the visual aspect of this DVD. I'm looking forward to more of this kind of work from Madeleine Lewis. Thank you GAIAM and especially thank you, Madeleine!
Best 25 minutes of the whole day!This is definitely one of the most effective stretching videos I've ever used. It moves very quickly, but doesn't seem rushed. With 4 kids, I rarely get more than 25 minutes to myself, so I need something that provides a good head-to-toe stretch in a minimum amount of time.
The scenery is fantastic--especially the bright mountaintop sunrise for the a.m. program. Madeline Lewis is pleasant and very "down to earth" (no new age "yoga speak").
My only criticism (and not enough to give it less than 5 stars): There are one or two postures in each program that are uncomfortable if you have low back pain. I've practiced yoga long enough to know how to modify them, but instructions either aren't given or they aren't given until you're already in the posture.
This is a great program for all levels--easy enough for most beginners, but still worthwhile for those who are already pretty active.
Loved it!This is a great DVD. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the stretches are relaxing and invigorating at the same time. The instructor does an excellent job reminding you to keep proper form and proper breathing. I am an advanced exerciser and found that this DVD was a great addition to my routine. I really felt like the lower back, hamstrings, and the entire upper body were opened up and stretched. You even stretch the wrists in the PM Stretch, which is often a neglected part of the body. Very basic, but very effective. Beginners to advanced exercisers would benefit from using the DVD.

i got itwell it ok but its real easy!its stupid click back and see what think abot bellydancing it tones your body,makes you more flexible and if you do it longs enough you lose WEIGHT!
A joyful, expressive, ladylike exerciseThis is a wonderful dvd workout. It's almost strange for me to say workout, it is hula, it is a beautiful dance. It does takes some getting used to, but the women dancing the hula have so much joy in them, it relaxes you and makes you feel like you can just laugh off your mistakes. If practiced regularly it definetly conditions and strengthens your muscles, especially in your legs!!!
I would reccomend this dvd to anyone!! Kick boxing and Tae bo can be so violent and aggresive excersises, hula is graceful, alluring, and great for toning.
You will enjoy your new toned body and beautiful expressive dance from practcing Hula!
