| I received this video last week and today was my first time using it. Let me say it is awesome other than the instructor going a bit fast when she transitions from move to move I love it. I'm sure once I get into the groove of the dvd I won't have any problems transitioning from move to move. I have rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis and can't do the exercises that have you on your feet too long. My doctor only wanted me using the stationary bike and doing water aerobics. Well on days when I don't want to travel all the way to the gym this video will be great. If it wasn't for the water aerobics I would cancel my gym membership. This video is really good and you get a excellent workout sitting in a chair. I normally where a sweatsuit, two waist sweatbands and a sweatband on both upper arms let's just say I was drenched in sweat. The video is about 25 to 30 min and it is well worth the money. Now I will say if you have limited movement then this may be too fast paced for those individuals but for anyone who needs to lose weight because of RA or back problems and can't do the standard standing exercises this video is perfect. I am 286 now hopefully with the help of this video and my water aerobics I can lose 20lbs and then so on and so on. |
Not quite for EVERYONE

Because of chronic foot problems I have used the "chair" type exercise programs for several years. This particular DVD is pretty good, but it's not REALLY for everyone. There are several instances where they assume that you are capable of standing for some of the exercises or stretches.
The exercise program has three participants and I am assuming it's to show the different fitness levels. Several times the older participant seems distracted, looking off to the side while attempting to do the exercises.
Please note too that the instructor assumes you have a small exercise ball with no mention made of it on the DVD cover to forewarn you of needing this equipment.
That being said, it is nice to have a change of pace from all the "Chair Dancing" exercise DVD's I have been using. You can also choose between the "full seated" version of the program or using the one that you are standing part of the time.
All in all, it's "pretty" good. |
Gave it away - useless DVD

| Most of the time these reviews are correct, however, I teach Tai Chi/Chi Kung to seniors and thought I would do a varied workout in chairs so I ordered this on previous reviews. Even though seated my seniors could not do the repitions this person is doing. To me chair means there are limitations for the person doing the exercise so movement need to be modified, which is not the case with this DVd. Just felt I wasted my money! |
Pretty good

| It's surprising how well exercising from a chair can get your heart rate up. This is perfect for me because I have bad knees and, when they "act up", I'm unable to exercise the "normal" way. However, these chair aerobics DO require the use of your legs to really get things going. If you're wheelchair bound, it may not be the aerobics for you. |
Great DVD

| I broke my leg 6 months ago and started doing this dvd almost immediately. When I finally started walking again, I found that I had totally retained all my strength and then some. I highly recommend this dvd. |
