Alethea’s “Stretching for Pole” DVD review
-
@kat….I want floor for Xmas too! Which leads me to ask myself the question I ask every year: Is is better to be Nice or Naughty ???
-

-

Thanks for the reply but I’m still confused… Does it have region 4? Sorry in terrible with technology
-
The DVDs are just PAL encoded on one side and NTSC on the other. I believe Aus is PAL, like pretty much everyone except North America, so you should be fine 🙂
I don't think they actually have any region code at all.

I got my split DVD. Now I need to fit it in my workout routine.
-
oh ok, cool. that makes sense. now i'm really excited! 2 weeks international shipping and then they are mine 😀
-
I want to chime in here-for anyone still undecided about these dvds-after 4 wks of use my middle splits went from 8-9″ from floor to only 2-3″ off floor! MANY other improvemwnts also-these dvds are well worth $50!
-
@ cupcake, I been slacking, I’m going back. How often to you do it?
-
I was doing 5 times per wk…don’t know if I can keep that up…still undecided, but thinking every other day like Veena suggested.
-
One day splits another day stretching. OK, I rest on weds from workingout. I will try my split dvd 2nite.
-
i can't wait to get my dvds! hopefully they come this week…

Here is what i did with my dvd´s:
I don´t know if you have the time to do the dvd´s 5 times a week like Alethea suggested it.
Well, i have the time but most of the time i am to lazy (sad but true) to do an hour streching-routine 5 times a week IN ADDITION to pole dance, strength training and my full time job.
So i copied my dvd´s to my Computer to create my own streching routine with windows movie maker. i made a little video with only the warm up. Then i cut 3 different streching-routines-videos together, so i can choose one video depending on how much time i have. I made a 20 minutes video with very basic streches that i can do even on very busy days (so that i have no excuses anymore 🙂 ). Then i made a 35 minutes video including a few deeper streches and streches for the splits also. And i cut a video together including all the streches of both dvd´s but i cut out a few streches that repeat in the second dvd and i cut out the streches that are way to hard for me yet. So if i have the time to concentrate only on streching, i can do this dvd, which lasts a little over one hour without changing the dvd in the middle of my training or to fast forward the streches that i have already done with the first dvd or that are to difficult for me.
So now i can choose what routine i want to do depending on my time and depending on if i want to add strength training or pole dance also on the same day.
Maybe it is something you want to try. I hope that i can include at least the short video 5 times a week in my everyday life to improve at least in the basic streches faster.
Sorry for the long post 😀

Thanks to all of your feedback I ordered the DVDs and I was just wondering if someone can let me know…
For those that stretched 5 times per week did you alternate between the pole DVD and the splits DVD or are we supposed to do the pure splits DVD 5 times a week?
I like your tip of editing the DVDs Lengo I think I will keep that idea in mind for when the DVDs get here 🙂

Well I think which dvds you do is totally up to you 🙂 She says at the beginning of each dvd to do it 5 times a week to gain flexibility and 3 times a week to maintain flexibility.
It kinda depends on your goals which one you should do. If the main goal are the splits I'd concentrate on the pure splits. If you want back flexibility as well then do the stretching for pole as well.
I think Alethea also said somewhere that the stretching for pole is more suited for beginners.
I personally had great results with alternating between both dvds 🙂
