GREAT FOR LADIES "OF A CERTAIN AGE"
I purchased this video because I wanted to have another video with a little more cardio intensity than the Ease-In video, also by Mirabai Holland. The routines are easy to follow. If you have taken aerobics classes in the past you will recognize the moves. If not, the moves are pretty basic. I agree with another reviewer is that Mirabai doesn't do a very good job with telling you when to change moves, that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. However, after a few times through you shouldn't have any trouble. Remember, you aren't auditioning for A Chorus Line you just want to get moving. The video also includes a little talk about what you should expect in a cardio workout. You can fast forward through that after the first time. She also explains about target heart rate and explains how heart rate relates to your age. There is also a warm up and cool down with stretching.One of the best parts is that the workout can be done in 30 minutes

the cueing is pretty bad - she's not good at telling you what's ...
This is a short little workout that I bought because I am re-starting an exercise routine after being away from cardio for a while. It's more effective than I thought it would be at getting my heartrate up, so kudos for that. However, the cueing is pretty bad - she's not good at telling you what's coming up next and expects you to remmeber a routine with little repetition. And what is up with Mirabel's weird outfit with the droopy crotch and cut-out shoulders???

Perfect for those of us with an above average Klutz Factor!Perfect for those "Jeeze, I worked out way too hard yesterday, and I don't know if I can MOVE" days.Perfect for those "Haven't been able to work out for weeks--gotta get back into the routine" days.Enough queuing to get you through the first run-through but not so much that it becomes annoying after several sessions.Really refreshing not be treated to brain numbing references to cookie baking and picking up grandkids toys.I had to work really hard to get my heart rate up, but again this isn't for those top of your form, bubbling with energy days unless you are truly a first time/never before exerciser.

A truly Low-impact video that still gives a great workout!
I am a 60 year old woman who is out of shape and struggling with sciatica. I have tried many "low-impact" videos. This one is the BEST! I love it. It's truly low impact with easy moves yet still gives me a good workout. If you aren't familiar with aerobics it might take you a bit to get the moves down, but they are relatively easy. LOVE IT! My back is already starting to strengthen. Thank you! :)

Exercise for beginners at a later age
If you are in your fifties and are just starting to exercise, this would be a nice video to start with, but if you exercise a moderate amount it is not challenging. I'm not one who likes to continue to add on to a routine, for instance adding a knee up after the arm swings, leg kicks, etc, and that's what this video does. This would be good for individuals in their 60's or70's.

Perfect for keeping me fit
At close to 8o and feeling very well and being very active-- I attribute much of this to this DVD. I have been doing this for three years three times a week and I love it. No condescension, lovely music. I swear I feel an inch taller after each workout. Never an injury.. It' s not for everyone but for sensible people who like to move and enjoy it, it is great.
