VHS Movie Reviews of Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique: Legs & Butt [VHS]

Movie Review: Great program for both strengthing and stretching the legs and glutes
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Intense lower body work
Summary: 5 Stars

While similar to Pilates, the floorwork is different enough that those used to Pilates will still feel it. In Pilates, the knee faces the ceiling for most of the work; for this method, the outer thigh faces the ceiling. Combined with the extension and lifting, this works the "saddlebag" very effectively. Although I have done this tape quite a few times and do Pilates and yoga regularly, I am still gasping for air before we're done. You feel this in the thighs and glutes, and you're very grateful for the yoga-inspired stretches when done.

Onto the barre work (which can also be done with a chair, as Esmonde-White does, or a window sill). Here, Esmonde-White employs plies and side stretches, then moves onto hamstring and hip stretches. While you do feel the work, it's not as strenuous as the floor section (and that's a relief).

You will definitely feel the work and see a slimming to the outer thighs as well as open your hamstrings and hips.
