Yoga and Pilates Stretch.Dynamic Stretch is an intermediate workout that involves a series of deep-muscle stretches, ranging from yoga and Pilates to classic athletic moves. You begin with yoga-based standing routines that are designed to warm up your muscles, thus rejuvenating your body while increasing flexibility. Then comes a seven minute series of seated exercises that are designed to extend those previous stretches into your abs and back. Finishing with Pilates-style floorwork aimed at your lower body, such as a double legstretch and "v-sits" with legs in the air. This one-on-one instructional DVD, set at a tranquil poolside, features soothing music (from Asian flutes to Spanish guitar). Voice-over cuing emphasizes movement-specific breath control.
