DVD review - Stacey Nemour's Secrets of Splits Flexibility

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reading.

I recently got hold of a copy of Stacey Nemours Secrets of Splits Flexibility and after watching thought I would do a quick review and post my thoughts.

Here is the youtube promo for the DVD.


Firstly you have to say, she seems really nice and enthusiastic and you can't say she isnt VERY flexible.

Unfortunately, thats where the positives of this DVD stop.

She makes some pretty big claims of the video:

"In this DVD, I present my training techniques and proven solutions designed to alleviate back pain, knee problems, and other debilitating ailments. I demonstrate unique stretches and exercises that will enable you to attain a level of flexibility that usually requires years of training; and I will demonstrate to you the correct order in which to do them. This will enable your body to open up faster, thereby allowing you to get into splits more rapidly, safely, and with confidence. You will also discover that this workout provides anti-aging benefits. My techniques will help you overcome stiff joints and that "hunched-over" posture, which limits the activities you are able to participate in."

Considering there are no back or knee strengthening techniques, just a collection of static passive stretches and 2 sets of weighted leg raises, I find these claims to be very misleading.

The blurb should read: "In this DVD you get to watch me in some advanced stretches with me just saying, sink into it...thats about it"

Its pretty obvious that Stacey has always been naturally very flexible, and that she probably never really had to work on her flexibility. The level of "instruction" of the DVD is almost non existant apart from "sink into it" or "point your toes". Basically the youtube video shows the few stretches that actually have her give anything more than that.

If you are looking for anything more than a very flexible in shape 40 something year old woman stetching and doing the splits for 35 minutes, look elsewhere and save your money, for actual educational or training value, this DVD is pretty much worthless.

Sorry Stacey
