I'm fairly flexible from doing yoga. Would I be better off with her advanced DVD or is there lots of info on this one not covered in the advanced one?

I am very flexible but still found the first dvd helpful. I didn't know there was a advanced DVD!!!

Since you are accomplished in yoga, that would make me think you are familiar body placement and alignment. I think you would enjoy the advanced video more.

Personally, I'd buy both! Even though you are already flexible, I think you'd probably get a lot out of her stretching techniques in the first DVD, and then take it to the next level in the second. IMO!

i do a lot of yoga as well. this was not too difficult for me. my age is 53. since i haven't seen (or even known about) an advanced dvd, i don't know if you should listen to my advice. all i can tell you is that i liked this tape, and it was not too difficult for me. then again, i certainly do not have the flexibility of the instructor which was no surprise to me. if you're really flexible and in your 20's or 30's, go for the advanced. if in doubt, this one should be fine for you. hope i helped!

Hi. There is video of Advanced Lastics on YouTube. I would take a look and see what you think. If you are already pretty flexible it might be the dvd for you! Donna Flagg is terrific!

Oooh! I didn't realize there's an advanced Lastics out!! I will be buying. I don't know what you'll think of the first one; you may want to buy both or just start with advanced. I have some hip, knee, back and neck issues and find the first one very helpful in self care and between between chiro adjustments- it feels super therapeutic to me, not like an aggressive, rapid stretch routine workout like advanced yoga routines or aspects of pilates routines.

You need to check on the packaging if she refers to CD or DVD. There are the two options.I bought DVD. The quality is excellent. The impression on the surface of the DVD is excellent. You can purchase you won't regret it, but check the specifications. Do you want to buy CDs or DVDs? Note before you buy.

No it states accurately on here that it comes with instruction book and to be honest it's not too difficult to master. A DVD would be overkill. These people insisting it comes with a DVD are misinforming you. If you would like step by step instructions after purchasing and the book isn't enough, a tutorial can easily be found online.

It's absolutely for women as well! It's tough and fast paced but the moves are easy to learn. Also, the more you do the DVD, the more comfortable you get. It's a tough workout but well worth the money if you ask me.

The good part about this DVD is that someone does the modified version the entire time. I have done insanity and wish I had this before I started it. So to make a long answer short - yes this is great for a newbie - just be sure to do the stretching at the end.

Classic is better. And use the DVD as well as the big chart! It is just a matter of slowly building up your body with increasing time slots. Your body will enjoy the feeling of well-ness motions!From Alan in Hawaii

It's worth the cost if you actually use it everyday and commit to stretching. I made progress then became less committed and started back again. I have a friend that uses it daily and he is extremely flexible. He was already more flexible than me, but he pushes himself and actually does use it.

Except for the yoga (because I need to learn yoga positions) other two videos are great. IF you are thinking about kettlebell, I would for sure try brook benton.

Hey Ryan, The 13-week calendar for the basic workout is available along with the advanced calendar as well. There is no 6 week calendar. However, both calendars are FRONT and BACK. The 1st 6 weeks is on the front. The last 7 weeks is on the back. The Advanced calendar includes everything that's on the basic calendar as well as the Qi Gong exercises. Advanced Week 13 also includes the Tai Chi Fast, Moderate and Slow DVD which is slightly different from the regular program. There is no reason NOT to start with the Advanced Calendar. The Qi Gong isn't difficult and it probably should be done along side the other workouts anyway. The Week 13 Tai Chi is a welcome change of pace as it puts everything together very smoothly. Hope that helps. Anything else you'd like to know, just ask! :)

not really sure what to tell you. I'm still quite early in the workout . I'm trying to get the first sequence of the first six moves learned so I can progress to the next sequence. It seems like a good workout and is not very strenuous , at least to start out. He stresses posture in the workout and I think that is good. I can't really say if it is helping my flexibility yet as I have a history of back problems and so far I do not notice any improvement in that respect.

The basic is a great starter. For a more advanced and varied workout you should get more CDs.

I don't know....since I've been using it just to keep up with specific exercises I need for my upcoming knee surgery, I haven't used the DVD yet.

There is a step-by-step dvd in the package. You can start with it, also as absolute beginner. :)

Definitely! It takes you through it step by step and it has the dvd's from beginner to advance.

I have spent a couple of years learning a great deal from the 2 sites I mentioned. First went there not having the slightest idea what was going on (and I had been a Windows programmer for 8 years!!). Yes, the techy software you find there has a learning curve, but the forums furnish a treasure-trove of guides and additional info. I've transferred hundreds of hours of tape to DVD. Couldn't have done it without the info and links I found on those 2 sites. I still spend hours there at least twice a week. You'll also see some good info about Oppo, DVD players and tape sources in general in the videohelp.com "tools" section and the "forum".

My set didn't include a dvd, but there's a good amount of reference on-line at their site(still photos as well as videos). There's also quite a bit on Youtube BY Bodylastics which is really nice. Allows you to go through and get a feel of which exercises would be best for you. They also seem really personable, which is nice.

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)
