Two years ago I was having some bothersome back issues. My back would suddenly freeze up and it would render me incapacitated for about 4 days before it would start to loosen up again. When that happened, everything would shut down. All I could do was lay in bed. I lost a lot of work time and productivity because of it.
Like most
people who have discovered Classical Stretch, I was channel surfing one day. I was actually looking for
something to replace the OnDemand exercise channel that was going away. I needed to find something that I could do in
my home, without traveling to the gym and back.
That’s when I found Classical Stretch with Miranda Esmonde-White on UET, Utah Educational Television.
I liked it
because it was very relaxing for me. I
almost felt like I was cheating because of how soothed and calm it made me feel. But after awhile, I noticed some great
results.
It has been
almost two years since I started doing Classical Stretch. I have noticed several improvements. First of all, my back has quit going out on
me. I give all the credit to the back
stretching and strengthening exercises that Classical Stretch does
regularly. Another great thing is that I
don’t have joint issues because of overuse.
I get the same fitness and body shaping results (maybe even better!) but
with much gentler means of obtaining those results. So instead of walking around being sore, I
can get out and enjoy more of life! My
posture has become better. Because of
all the time I spend at the computer during the day and sleeping on my side at
night, my shoulders were starting to become rounded. Classical Stretch has helped that issue and I
notice that I am automatically pulling my shoulders back and sucking in my
stomach.
Classical
Stretch is a dynamic stretching program which actually strengthens the muscles
in lengthened positions. This helps them
have a leaner and longer look vs. when the muscles are contracted only, without
the lengthening process. (Like weight-lifting) It also improves range of motion, flexability,
and improves joint pain! This process is called Essentrics, which is also used
as another term to describe what Classical Stretch accomplishes!
Miranda
Esmonde-White, the creator of Classical Stretch, has spent most of her life
dancing and sharing the artistry of dance with others. A former ballerina, Miranda has used her
understanding of movement to create a stretching and strengthening fitness program
which targets the needs of everyone from women and men of all ages to elite
athletes in all sports requiring flexibility and range of
motion. Her exercise system evolved in her studio as she studied
her own movements and those of her students.
She became known for healing musculoskeletal issues such as back pain
and leg problems and for toning, lengthening and slenderizing her students’
bodies.
Classical
Stretch is a total body exercise system that is transformational for women 25
and older. The bones and joints start to
deteriorate as early as the mid-twenties or even earlier with non-use of the
muscles. This method fuses its unique
movements with elements of Tai Chi, Yoga, Ballet and other disciplines to
restore and improve movement and transform the look of the body into a longer,
leaner line.
Filmed in various beautiful locations in Mexico
and Jamaica, currently in its 9th Season on American Public
Television and now in production for Season 10, Classical Stretch shows no sign
of slowing down and continues to influence women and men everywhere.
Miranda also
travels the US, Canada and other beautiful vacation spots to host retreats and
workshops. Currently she is traveling
the West and will be stopping in San Francisco, Colorado and Salt Lake City
this month! I am so excited to be
attending the workshop in Salt Lake City on March 21 and 22nd!
Classical
Stretch Season 10 is just barely off the press, ready for distribution starting
in April! The theme is weight loss and
pain relief. You can buy a copy on
Amazon for $69.99, with no shipping!
I believe
that the physical fitness industry can thank Miranda Esmonde-White for being
a major player in the study of the maintenance and improvement of the human musculoskeletal system. I believe that we will start seeing more of
the essentric types of work-outs when it comes to body shaping, health
maintenance and physical therapy work! If you haven’t tried Classical Stretch, you
should do it today! Because you only
have one body!
Thanks for visiting! I received no product or compensation for this post. However, for my honest review, I will be attending the Classical Stretch Workshop free of charge.
