Hello group,

Is this total body stretch a Zumba DVD? Or is this just saying, do a total body stretch? I have the original At Home Zumba DVD's but I got them before they added that handy 10 jump start plan.

Thanks for the clarification.

    Very interesting question, I was thinking they mean the cool down, but I will check in the manual and come back to you.

    Okay here's what I found in the manual, the Total body Stretch:

    Lower-Leg and Upper-Hip Stretch
    Stand in a lunge position with your right foot forward and
    left foot back, toes pointed straight ahead. Place your hands
    on your right thigh or on a chair for support, then bend your
    right knee and lunge forward, keeping your left leg straight
    and torso upright. Press both hips forward until you feel a
    stretch in the front of your left hip and the back of your left
    lower leg. Hold for 10 seconds, release, and repeat 5 more
    times. Switch sides and repeat.

    Side-Torso Stretch
    Stand tall with your arms reaching straight above your head,
    hands clasped, and abs pulled in. Inhale, then exhale as
    you lean to the left, feeling a stretch in the right side of your
    torso. Hold for 10 seconds, return to centre, then repeat on
    the opposite side. Repeat 5 times on each side.

    Low-Back Stretch
    Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees bent, and hands
    on your upper thighs. Inhale, then exhale as you draw in
    your abs and round your back, curling your tailbone under
    you, and tucking your chin toward your chest. You should
    feel the stretch in your lower back. Hold for 10 seconds
    then release. Repeat 5 times.

    Total-Body Stretch
    From an all-fours crouching position, inhale, then exhale as
    you begin to lift your hips and straighten your arms and legs,
    coming into an inverted V position (also known as Downward
    Facing Dog in yoga). Hold for 10 seconds, breathing deeply,
    feeling a stretch in the back of your legs, calves, chest,
    shoulders, and sides of your torso. Bend your knees and
    release them to the floor, then sit back onto your heels with
    your arms on the floor and chest resting on your thighs to
    stretch your low back and shoulders. Hold this position for
    10 seconds. Repeat the entire sequence 5 times.

    Low-Back and Hip Stretch
    Lie on your back with your legs straight out in front of you.
    Bend your right knee, grasp the back of your thigh, and
    bring the knee in toward your chest. Hold for 10 seconds.
    Then, using your left hand, bring your right knee across your
    body and down toward the floor. Look over your right
    shoulder and reach your right arm out to the side, keeping
    your right shoulder in contact with the floor. Hold for 10
    seconds, feeling a stretch in your low back and hip.
    Release and come to centre, then switch sides.
    Repeat the sequence 5 times on each side

    Also if you don't have the manual you can get it here :wink:

    Thank you so much for the info! And the link. When the infomercial added that to the deal, I contacted the support folks and requested it but was denied.

    Have a great day!
