Michelle Dozois Flex & Release - Thoughts

Flex & Release is around 30 minutes and it is a full body stretch workout. 
Michelle starts the workout with a series of neck and shoulder stretches.  Michelle uses a towel to increase the range of movement and/or to control the range of movement as you go through the stretches.

For the most part all the stretches are static in nature so you should be warmed up before starting the workout. There are some dynamic stretches in the form of squat pulses.

You are performing stretches in a variety of positions:  standing, seated, kneeling, prone, supine and from the plank and sumo positions. For most stretches, Michelle gives you the opportunity to practice the stretch twice per side.  Sometimes there are more reps but you are not staying in any stretch or posture for very long.
The workout appears to be broken down into three segments:
1) First segment goes to around the 17 minute mark.
2) At the 17 minute mark, Michelle goes in to a lunge series for the second segment.
3) At the 22 minute mark, Michelle goes to the floor.  The floor series segment consist of straddle stretches, glute, hip and quad stretches, reverse table and frog stretches.

Along with Michelle, there is Amber and Erin. Amber is the modifier.
The music  is mostly used as back ground but I thought it went well with the workout.
Like the other workouts in the Peak 10 Fit Body Challenge, this workout is a download and/or stream only workout.

3 & 1/2 stars
