Certified instructor description: You get detailed medical information about Back Pain along with two “workouts.” Like a real visit to the Mayo Clinic, you’ll begin with a 25-minute “consultation.” Dr. Ralph Gay, M.D., a Mayo Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist answers your questions and discusses the most up-to-date integrative-medicine options. You’ll learn about the causes and symptoms of back pain. Then you’ll explore the treatment options — from prescription drugs and spinal disk surgery to massage, accupresure and targeted exercise regimens. That’s followed by two back pain-specific “workouts” led by Rodney Yee (one is a 25-minute yoga program, the other a 10-minute guided meditation). You’ll also get shopping and eating recommendations plus a handy 52-page book on stress reduction. ©2007. (90 min.). DVD has: Chapter menus.

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Stretch type

Athletic: Traditional sports-style, all-physical stretches. It is the least mind-body focused.

Yoga: Carefully designed poses that emphasize breath, concentration and mental awareness. It also includes the more flowing yoga style – Power Yoga.

Tai Chi: All-standing, very fluid poses (it looks like a person moving in slow-motion). The Chinese called Tai Chi "meditation in motion."

Specialty: Back Pain

Workouts especially designed to prevent back pain (or to alleviate its symptoms if you already have it). These programs usually combine gentle stretches with simple back-strengthening exercises.
