Description

30-minute DVD with workouts designed for beginners, moderate, and regular exercisers--all done so you can exercise without lots of equipment. For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting--and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. <P>Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series have now translated this cutting-edge information into the bestselling book, YOU: On a Diet, and have collaborated with celebrity trainer Joel Harper to develop an accompanying exercise program that will help you build muscle and shave inches off your waist. A portion of the proceeds of this DVD are going to www.healthcorps.net.

Excellent.......2007-06-11

This is one of the best exercise DVD workouts I have every used. The instructions are clear and precise. Also, the exercises are simple but very, very effective. I highly recommend it!

Good Basic Workout: Accompanies PBS Shows and Roizen Books.......2007-06-11

I was happy to see this workout DVD, which is a callisthenics, yoga and pilates combo. The beginner version is low to no impact with static holds and stretches. I use it as a warm-up for more strenuous stuff. The basic is not cardio and will not burn calories, but it's a good morning/evening or preliminary routine with good instruction and nothing annoying -- except for the caveat below. It pretty much hits all the muscle groups.

All three workouts seem to last 20 min, which makes them efficient. The advanced one moves faster and therefore is more challenging and does provide some cardio. As a woman, I appreciate the emphasis on shoulders and chest, which is where I am weak. Most exercise stuff geared toward women works our fat zones, which is good. But this one rounds things out, IMHO.

ONE CAVEAT: The instructor, Joel Harper, doesn't always have good form in the lower half of his body. He isn't as stretched as he should be. It bothers me that his legs are always slightly bent, even when they should be straight. He does not have one continuous line from hip through knee through foot, which often dangles rather than being flexed, pointed or facing forward as is common in yoga. He isn't be a good role model for lower body work or for full stretches and extensions that pull along the hamstrings. But hopefully better informed users of the tape know that and improve on the teacher's form.;-)

Amazon's price is excellent. However, you can also find all three workouts online for free (legitimately) and can access it as a Podcast for listening on your own or viewing with Quicktime from your computer. Apparently you can also see it on a Photo iPod.

You Workout DVD Does Not Work Properly.......2007-06-08

I beleive the workout DVD would be excellent; however, the DVD, brand new out of the box skipped and jumped and the sound quality was extremely poor. It was not my DVD player because I tried it in several players including my laptop, all with very poor sound and visual quality. I would have enjoyed this DVD in addition to the manual I purchased had it worked properly. I need to make arrangements for a return, but I haven't had the time to package the item for return.

Fun Walking Workouts.......2007-06-08

This is a two CD workout. Each CD contains a 1/2 hour walking workout with periodic fitness tips given by Michael or Joel (can't remember which one), followed by a nice stretch (which I found a little difficult to do while wearing my CD player pouch), and then it is followed by the same 1/2 hour walking workout with no talking--so each CD actually has two 1/2 hour workouts, with a stretch in between. Both workouts have no singing--it's all music. They are both nicely paced--even the beginner workout gets you up to a nice pace rather quickly. The advanced CD has great music (at least, if you are a baby boomer, like me), but I enjoyed both of them. I am an advanced exerciser, used to walking in the morning almost every day for 30-60 minutes, and then doing a workout tape at night. SO--I don't know why, but I really enjoy doing this workout--even though the tips sometimes are a little corny--I still found the music fun and the workout very doable.

Doctors Oz and Roizen know us. They know we are normal people who need to make some healthy changes to live better. This workout doesn't require a new outfit, special equipment, or an already fit body. This DVD is very user friendly, creates a comfortable atmosphere, and really shows results in a couple weeks!
