Certified instructor description: A solid combination of dynamic and static stretches with a great new-age soundtrack. You’ll increase total-body flexibility while listening to flute and guitar music by Narada Productions. This IDEA Instructor of the Year starts with faster dynamic stretches to warm every part of your body. Then, it’s a well-designed series of 20 to 30-second static moves focused on the legs, buttocks and arms. Karen shows three different intensity levels, gives precise technique tips and has a great attitude (e.g. “just relax into the stretch …”). ©1991. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Karen Voight's Pure & Simple Stretch

pure & simple stretch
Excellent. I am older and don't need anything too strenuous. Stretches are gentle and unhurried. Karen's voice is easy to listen to, and directions are clear. Good choice. - posted by Nancy on 1/26/2012
great basic stretch
I like all the Karen Voight videos. This one is a wonderful morning start to the day; leaves you standing taller and feeling relaxed. - posted by Lauren on 12/29/2011
OK
The video was thorough especially good for the shoulders and relieving stress but not very motivating due to her mechanical voice. Also didn't care for the extra "stuff", prefer a video which will go straight to the stretches. - posted by Imelda on 10/20/2011
a thorough, relaxing stretch
a great stretch, either after a walk or on it's own--I always feel very relaxed after this program - posted by Stephanie on 2/3/2011
Great!
I love this video! The time flies by and I feel very relaxed at the end. Just what I wanted. - posted by EAF on 9/30/2010
GREAT!
I hurt my back training for a 5k and this dvd was the only thing I could handle when my back first got hurt, it stretched muscles you don't normally think to stretch. I felt better after doing this workout. Like the title says, it's pure and simple stretching, no hard funky moves or twists that make you feel uncomfortable. Karen Voight is one of my favorites still. I have her new dvd's and this one although it's older is still great, like all of her "older" workouts, she is a classic in a great way. Her pilates core power is amazing if you are not injured. If you're looking for a great stretching workout to increase flexibility or help with an injury, this is the dvd you need. - posted by Kristi on 5/27/2010
Great to have in your exercise dvd collection
I have had this video since it first came out and finally got it on DVD. It's great. It's pure and simple and thorough. With the DVD you can choose to do the whole routine or just the standing or floor routine independently. It's just a great video to own. - posted by Kristen on 5/20/2010
excellent, relaxing
An excellent stretch, very calming and relaxing. - posted by Faye on 4/22/2010
very good for stretching
this is purely stretch. definitely not cardio. I hurt my knees, and was looking for something to do. While it hurts them to do some of them, there are some I can do. It's good to take care of your muscles. Easy to follow. The negative is that she is very monotone and its a lackluster dvd, but it doesn't bother me cause i just concentrate on stretching. That type of thing matters more for cardio. - posted by barbara on 7/14/2009
Boring
Sorry, I like Karen Voight, but this DVD is so boring. I find stretching boring in general and this DVD does nothing to motivate me to stretch more often. I think it would have been better if it was cut into two different short segments. - posted by Liz on 6/18/2009

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.
