No, but really it does help, but it also hurts the first few times because you're not used to stretching those muscles. [ piinkiie's advice column | Ask piinkiie A Question ]

You can go to a fitness place in the mall, or at a gym near you, and they might possibly have it. Usually they are in between 10-20 dollars for a video. Hope I helped. Good Luck!
