 It's fun! February 13, 2008

I love these CD's because the exercise programs are fun and it is easy to follow the movements. The exercises work up from warm-up to challenging movements.

I have been a life-long exerciser. Sometimes I stray and ignore exercising for a few months. When I am getting back in the groove I like to ease into it and I was looking for something that was real exercise but not quite the level of the Firm tapes that I usually follow. I thought I would try this one. It's okay however, the exercisers on the tape are completely asynchronis. They just can't keep a beat. They are not in time with the music, nor are they in time with each other. I find that to do this DVD, I either have to turn away from the screen or else perform the moves with my eyes closed. (which may just help my balance) If beat and coordination are important to you, this is not the tape for you. Otherwise, it's an okay, quick workout. (For quick, skip the intro and go directly to the workout.)

I'm in my 50s and, having always been active, find none of the workouts very challenging. Too repetitious. Strictly for beginners.

The title says "keeping fit" which implies you already have been fit and are active. My mom is not a die hard, but does walk and uses a stationary bike now and then. She found this work out to be not very challenging at all... so I would recommend this only to someone who has been *sitting* for 50 years.

As stated in the first review, if you are an avid exerciser you will not learn anything new from this series of exercise tapes. For the person new to exercise these tapes give a lot of useful information on form, muscles, technique and modifications. I am in my mid 50s, am an avid exerciser and I have to modify exercises due to arthritis in my knees, so I thought their approach to exercise is a good one. The moves on each tape is very basic and easy for a beginner to follow, which would definitely seem boring to an experienced exerciser. Both Cindy and Robyn have trouble keeping time with the music, and Cindy was out of step a few times, but I found this to be encouraging for a beginner. It clearly shows that not everyone is always co-ordinated, even Cindy Joseph! And in fact in the cardio video Robyn tells Cindy that it didn't matter when she missed a cue, the important thing was that she kept on moving. Isn't that what exercise is about? My only real complaint is the camera angle is at times a bit frustrating, it is cocked sideways some of the time getting a shot of the beautiful Cindy. But because the moves are quite simple, after doing the tapes a time or two anyone would have no problem following along. Our bodies do change in our 50s and in order to keep fit it is important to exercise and make modifications when necessary to avoid injuries. If you can hang with the funky camera angles, all in all a good place for the beginner to start a well rounded fitness program.
