BeachBody Controlled Stretch with Autumn Calabrese - Thoughts

Controlled Stretch is an add-on program to Autumn Calabrese Beach Body Control Freak 9 week program.  Control Stretch contains 45 stretches that if you are doing the Control Freak program, you are to do on the same night before you go to bed.

The stretches are 5 to 10 minutes in length.  You do 5 stretches a week for 9 weeks.

I did not do and have not done the Control Freak program but I did add these nightly stretches to my own workout routine for 9 weeks.  

Each workout is different, although you are performing similar or the same stretches throughout. Autumn tailors the nighttime stretches based on the workout she had you do in the morning as part of the Control Freak program.  

All the workouts are performed barefoot. Several of the stretches use a play ball.  You will need a wall for some of the stretches. I did not have a wall handy when I started the series but then I ended up rearranging furniture so that i could use a wall.  For some stretches, Autumn uses the couch  that is on set but most of the stretches are performed standing, seated on the ground  or lying down.

Autumn talks throughout the stretches offering motivation tips and encouragement.  My only complaint is that sometimes Autumn forgot to cue, so I would miss that she had moved on because of the position I was in, I could not see the TV and had to look up to see that yes, she switched sides.

I like this series of stretches quite a bit, especially the length of each stretch.  I would definitely continue to make the stretches a part of my nightly routine.
