That's my friend Elena!!! She's amazing. For those who also may not know, she's also a Broadway actress. She was "Sophie" in the closing cast of Mamma Mia on Broadway and was last seen as "Carole King" in Beautiful. So versatile with keeping her body in great even as a performers doing 8 shows a week. Keep it up Elena!!!

Really a great set of exercises. I rarely comment, but feel it's important to share how helpful even just these have been. I am diabetic, have poor flexibility overweight at 286 pounds down from 310, but struggle with mobility. I work in a chair all day everyday just about and feel some great benefits even after the first set of exercises. Important I believe not to force and gently stretch. Eventually I imagine I will be able to go more deeper into the stretch. Partner stretching is my favorite but it's just me and still great. I will be doing this at least once a day as a routine for 30 days and see how I feel then.

How was gas and electricity still on at an abandoned building. This is why DTE is charging everyone else extra during peak hours 😢
