The web address for the PBS Station Finder is given below in Resources. This program uses a variety of types of squats to strengthen the legs which may not be healthy for an individual with knee issues.Ĭlassical Stretch has been playing on PBS since 1999. While I can accomplish most of the exercises, I do find that I sometimes must modify moves that put too much stress on the feet (such as heel raises). Because of this, much or most of this program may not be appropriate for someone who relies on a wheelchair. This program does require the ability to stand and move through a variety of positions and challenges one’s balance. The exercise includes standing work, work with a chair for balance, and mat work. While the workouts feel gentle to my joints, I feel both relaxed and energized after exercising with this show.

The program was created by Miranda Esmonde-White, who trained as a ballerina and has been involved in training for Olympic and professional athletes.Ĭlassical Stretch offers a nice variety and blend of moves. I found one of my favorite options on public television – a 30-minute exercise program called Classical Stretch.Ĭlassical Stretch features the Esmonde Technique, a combination of ballet, yoga, tai chi, and Pilates moves set together in flowing sequences. I resisted at first, wondering how I could I get a good workout with non-impact exercise. Even exercises generally considered to be low impact might hurt my feet due to bone changes caused by the neuromuscular disease Charcot Marie Tooth. A few years ago, my physician told me to eliminate as much of the impact on my feet from exercise as I could.
