Summary: Compact but complete
Comment: The Stretching Deck is a great product for those on the go. The cards come in a compact box with lid, are easy to follow and can but mixed and matched for different workouts. The deck covers all major muscle groups and is very handy if you're short on space or traveling but still need a good stretching workout.

Summary: Low Impact.
Comment: This is designed for the gals who do the in-flight stretching demo on long flights. Not for guys who need to figure out some new stretches or are looking to add to their repertoir. I also don't like the size of the cards. I bought it and hope to return it.

Summary: Portable Relaxation in a Box
Comment: "Stretching" can promote a space of relaxation, but it also promises improved posture, pain relief and a place to escape from everyday stress. This pack of cards works perfectly along with the "Strength Training" deck. You may want to mix and match to create customized routines that include stretching at the start and end of each workout. Warm-ups are also included and will be especially useful if you enjoy working out immediately in the morning. You can set up your morning routine the night before and include all the cards you enjoy. This deck can also be used for an extended stretching routine or you can use the cards for sports or daily activities.

Sample Exercises:

Arms & Hands Arc Sweep
Hamstring Stretch
Golf Arm Pulls
Swimming Side Twist
Skiing Psoas Lunge
Hiking Standing Knee Hug
Standing Leg Stretches
Lifting Back Twist

The "Relaxing Wind-Down" is an especially creative and healing routine that can be preformed while standing and sitting. The Energizing Warm-Up can be used before the "Strength Training Deck" or before any workout.

"Neck & Shoulders Pendulums" were fun to do and help to dissolve stress in the shoulders. If you want to do all stretches on your back, you can organize the cards to suit that type of routine. You could do all standing stretches first and then do a floor routine. This can be customized in so many ways. A few face exercises are included and there are specific exercises for anyone who spends a lot of time on the computer.

The Deck of Cards is in a sturdy long-lasting box that is easy to carry with you when traveling. Perfect to take to the gym if you want to incorporate a stretching routine. I like doing all the stretching exercises at once as an extended healing routine. The beauty of the card sets is that you can adapt this to your pleasure. No restrictions, no time limit. Just you and your favorite music, maybe a candle.

To less stress,

~The Rebecca Review
