Fitness DVD for Seniors 50-80+, The 28-Day Size Down Challenge Features Full Body Workout, Low Impact Exercise Videos To Improve Strength, Flexibility, Balance - Helping You Lose a Size in 28 Days

This exercise video is not only suitable for seniors, but anyone who prefers a slower approach to exercise. The male instructor, I believe his name is Jaime, is so inspiring. He's so encouraging, he makes you want to do more. If you prefer an exercise video with loud music and a faster pace, then this video would not be for you. All I can say, is try it, you won't be disapointed. Highly recommend.

Exactly as described, good exercise routine for low impact.

Thought instructor would be female since a female picture was on the outside of the DVD. It is not a female, but a young male instructor, who is very good and informative.

Very easy to follow

I have a love/hate relationship with this video. I love that the movements are all fairly easy and low impact for the most part(there is some jumping but he gives alternate moves if you can’t jump). I love that each section is only 8 minutes-and surprisingly I was huffing after 8 minutes even though I walk 2-4 miles per day. I love that you can click back to the main menu to pick which eight minutes session do you want to do...They are divided into weeks 1,2,3,and 4-then you can click on which day in which week you want. Each day works on a specific area of the body, so I spent some time when I first got the dvd and clicked through each session and wrote down what each session worked on(since I need to work mostly on my abs, I know which sessions are abs) I love that you can choose to do one session or as many as you like-so many videos are 45 minutes to as hour long-too easy to say “I don’t have time for that!” But everyone can carve out 8 minutes!!Now the cons:The video is supposed to have meal plans and other info included but when you go to the website listed, nothing is there anymore-rather frustrating.(says something about page missing)Another con-if you don’t have basic concepts of the correct form for certain moves, this is not the video for you! He gives NO guidance before an exercise as to proper form and just jumps right into the move. He also goes really fast(too fast in my opinion) The models he uses are kind of distracting too because there are many times they are using horrible form and look like they are just kind of winging it. One person keeps getting out of sync too. Kind of distracting. I understand they are seniors and are not going to look like 20-year-olds but they still should be using proper form to prevent injuries. It’s also annoying when every other word out of the instructors mouth is “there you go! perfect” when it’s not even close to perfect...I found I enjoy the workouts more with the sound off because he’s so annoying to me, but that might just be me. But all in all, I will keep the dvd because there’s 20 different sessions that will get your heart pumping so you shouldn’t get bored and I haven’t found another senior DVD that fits my needs as well as this one.

This is a great exercise video for 60 year olds but I’m 79 and day 3 is sit ups REALLY.

I'm 67 years old with back issues. I have been using this DVD for two weeks now. I really enjoy it. Every day, it is something different and it is for only 8 minutes. I am very happy with this product.

I am a 72 year old Grandma that has not been very physically active. I was looking for a short, easy, age appropriate workout to do at home. I wasn't concerned so much in weight loss. Very concerned in strength. This 8 minute a day dvd is perfect. I am on the 3rd week and have noticed improvement in strength. The plus is I've lost a few pounds too. The first week showed me that the short, simple movements used all the right muscles. I was sore, but not too sore to continue each day. Very easy to fit into a routine. Instructions are fast, but you'll catch on. It shows two people, so just pick one to follow. I highly recommend for women and men.
