Certified instructor description: You get “maximum stretching variety” with three separate workouts — floor, stability ball and Dyna-band stretching. Each program improves flexibility and reduces stress in a different way. The first segment requires no equipment; it includes both athletic and yoga stretches (standing and lying). Next, you’ll add a stability ball to lengthen the actions or improve the body position (using moves that seem very natural, you never feel “forced” to work on the ball). Finally, you’ll use a Dyna-band to control some stretches and deepen others (while also providing a gentle toning benefit). Throughout, Cathe’s cuing is always fluid, calming and precise. Quiet music. Requires a 6-foot Dyna-band and a stability ball. ©2005. DVD has: Narrow screen.

Cathe Friedrich's Stretch Max

good stretching dvd
I hadn't tried Cathe before; but I do like this one. The stretches on stability ball are great. Cathe doesn't push the music, like some do. She is very clear with cueing and instruction. I am slowly becoming more flexible; dvds like this will help. - posted by vanessa on 3/30/2013
Go to stretch video
I love it. Perfect video for a stretch routine at the end of a long day and you don't want to 'think' about how to stretch next. It's great to just follow along and limber out. - posted by ruby gets fit on 2/28/2013
Cathe is a Winner
I found Cathe on the fit station and absolutely fell in love with her. Her direct approach is clear and on time.. This particular DVD is my absolute favorite. After a long day this takes away all stress. You feel invigorated once again. - posted by HELEN on 2/10/2013
ahhhhh...
It’s so nice to have several solid, substantial flexibility sessions all in one place. Cathe has put together a nice variety of moves that seem to hit nearly every spot, something that I want and need more of as the years go by and I ramp up my cardio and toning workouts. I’m not against yoga exactly, but I don’t want it to be the core of my flexibility routine, so I love the way Cathe mixes things up. Some of the moves/poses felt odd at first, but I got used to them (except for the quad stretch on the ball because I just need a deeper stretch than that). I do like using my stability ball and resistance band for something different. - posted by Kim on 9/29/2012
Love this video
I do this on alternate days after intense workouts. I always feel so good when I am done. I love this video - definite keeper! - posted by Lisa on 8/29/2012
Great for maintaining flexibility
I was delighted when I discovered these CDs. They give me a a thorough stretch, and help me maintain flexibility. - posted by Evelyn on 8/13/2012
LOVE THIS
This is a great video. I had never heard of the instructor but thought I would try it. I am really enjoying it. It is to the point, energetic, super easy to follow. I didn't realize it had 3 separate workouts which is great because it keeps my week interesting. - posted by Nicole on 3/2/2012
Stretch Max
This is an awesome video. It's perfect for a quick 30 min stretch after doing a work out on your own, when not using other Cathe Friedrich videos. For instance I stretch after a 5 mile bike ride. I love it and I have 3 different programs to choose from. - posted by Patty on 11/12/2011
stretch max by cathe friedrich
Love this dvd, I was never a person to stretch but I recently started and I really would suggest this dvd to anyone, its great. I use it after I spin. thanks patty - posted by patty on 11/10/2011
Get this instead of her Yoga Videos
The Yoga videos are OK - but after re visiting Stretch Max, I find it superior to Yoga Max. I like the choice of no equipment, stability ball equipment and resistance band equipment. My favorite is the resistance band stretching. I do extra stretching after almost every workout I do. The cast and the music are great! Cathe is in her element here! - posted by Jennifer on 11/9/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
