5/10/2011 10:10:46 AM Report AbuseBeautiful!! My back just went out and my chiro said to do some gentle yoga and these were just what I needed! Thx Fitness-I love all your articles!!
4/13/2011 12:23:09 PM Report AbuseI agree, I wish I could print all the slides at once, so I could take the workout with me on vacation. I wish they would bring that option back.
