  From Jessica Smith All Access Pass is Soothing Stretch .  This workout clocks in at just under 22 minutes.   Jessica takes you through a series of standing and lying exercise that are design to open up the body.  This workout moves very slowly.  You are holding each position for at least 25 to 30 seconds or more.  You also enter and exit each move in a very deliberate way.   There is not a warm up but for this particular stretch workout, I don't think one is necessarily needed. Nevertheless, I did do a low impact cardio workout prior to doing this one.  Overall I like this workout as it force me to quiet the mind. There is nothing about this workout that is frantic or suggest being in a hurry. 3 & 1/4 stars

Low Impact Cardio Bonus from Lift, Move & Restore's Functional Mobility Fusion DVD clocks in at just under 14 minutes.  Cathe presents you with a list of 10 exercise combos that get the heart rate up but without high impact.  There is not a warm up or cool down in this workout so it is probably best to use it as an add on. I used it as a warm up to a stretch workout.  During the workout, Cathe introduces you to each move and then you perform the move. The reps vary for each exercise.  Some exercises get repeated and some do not. Between the exercises, you are pretty much doing what you like to recover before the next exercise continues.  I love the sound track and vibe of the workout. Very energetic. And this workout is quick. It really is a get in and get out workout. 4 stars
