Stopping the path of aging. It is something everyone wants. It is also a Billion
Dollar industry, whether we want to acknowledge that or not. When we first met Elaine Petrone in her first
DVD exercise kit, she told us she had some problems she could not get resolved
with pain in her body. After much
searching, she found little known treatments she was looking for and decided to
parlay it into a new kind of exercise/health program to help people who may not
be finding results from far more expensive, unnecessary and ineffective
applications to get rid of pain. Now she
takes on aging.
We previously reviewed Acorn Media’s Elaine Petrone Method
box that includes a DVD and two of the soft rubber balls to do the various
exercises and procedures that she has found to be such a huge success:

We still
do not know how well that worked, but Stop
The Clock is obviously offering more.
This time we get one 5-inch rubber ball and the main program again runs
under an hour. The argument is about the
body becoming tangled and roughed-up internally in a way that is not
addressed. It is sound, but only
prolonged use can prove what it is capable of.
It even is supposed to help TMJ and arthritis!
We have
not heard anything bad about her work and the exercises seem to be just
fine. In sample uses, this seems to have
some short-term benefit, but only some deep scientific test beyond anything you
will get from any DVD critic will be the only way to get an answer. You can also research this elsewhere on the
web. If something seemed wrong, we would
skip covering this altogether, so it is something you might want to look into
if interested.
Like the last DVD, the 1.33 X 1 image was shot on
professional analog NTSC videotape and is just fine for an instructional
exercise program such as this, something that also applies to the Dolby Digital
2.0 Stereo, which is simple and has no surround information. Extras include a program about Miss Petrone
and that big rubber balls you can use (with doctor’s consent) to put under your
back and at other key places on your body to stop aging, premature and
otherwise. I don’t know about this “Miracle
Ball Method” by I guess it could not hurt.
