A Feel Good AM Workout

I don't know about you, but I'm groaning a lot when I get out of bed these days. I have tried yoga and other non-aerobic (I hate to bounce) methods of getting my self un-stiff, but no technique really grabbed me, up until now.

WPBS produces a show called Classical Stretch. I stumbled on it when my friend suggested I try yoga again. The yoga airs at 6:30 am in Sarasota and that is way to early for yours truly. So I looked for an alternative and saw Classical Stretch airing at 7:30 which was more like it.

The show is based on the techniques of Miranda Esmonde-White, a former ballet dancer up in Montreal, so there is a lot of ballet-like movements that stretch you as well as make you feel graceful while you are doing it. She chooses beautiful settings and music; and everyday is different. So for those of us easily bored and looking for any excuse not to exercise, you won't get it here.

The best yet - the show is only a half hour long and you feel wonderful when you are finished!
