5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners like me!
I'm 50 years old and just beginning an exercise program on my doctor's advice. I found Sunshine's Beginners Exercise DVD with Lifht Weights to be just what I needed to inspire me! The DVD seems rather amateurishly done, however, I find it refreshingly simple and very easy to follow compared to the complicated, hard to follow, DVD's I've tried. She first shows you how to...

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!!
If you are over 50, overweight, or generally out-of-shape, this is NOT the way to start exercising. I've never seen a beginners DVD that you need to do oblique twisted abdominal crunches, yes, crunches (back on the floor, doing situps while trying to put right elbow to left knee & vice-versa). There are also other questionable exercises with weights that are not for a...

I'm 50 years old and just beginning an exercise program on my doctor's advice. I found Sunshine's Beginners Exercise DVD with Lifht Weights to be just what I needed to inspire me! The DVD seems rather amateurishly done, however, I find it refreshingly simple and very easy to follow compared to the complicated, hard to follow, DVD's I've tried. She first shows you how to do each exercise and then has you follow along, reminding you to breath and to drink water. At my age, all I really want are some simple, easy to follow instructions on strength training, and that is exactly what Sunshine provides in her DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Dvd for beginners., January 6, 2006
This review is from: Beginners Exercise DVD: Beginner Fitness / Exercise DVD with Light Weights Great Easy Weight Loss Exercise DVD for Women, Moms Exercise, Brides, Easy Fast Safe Weight Loss DVD also for Women, Over 50, Baby Boomers Fitness & Easy Safe Weight Loss Exercises DVD! (DVD)

I am new to exercising with weights. I like the way Sunshine first Shows the demonstration of how to do the exercise and then she dose the exercise making it very easy for me.

The Dvd is nicely filmed on a sunny beach making it pleasant to view and has good music.

The exercises are done twice for the whole body in a good pace which is also easy to follow, and the first time I used the Dvd I could do all the exercises with 5 lb weights.

The relaxation part is a definite plus, I feel invigorated and Great after I finish exercising.

Soon I will start using heavier weights, and I will also get the Funcercise resistance bands Dvd, to add to my fitness routine and not be bored with the same exercise routine.

Highly recommended for beginners who want a good simple basic weight training Dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Beginners Exercise DVD, August 28, 2005
By

This review is from: Beginners Exercise DVD: Beginner Fitness / Exercise DVD with Light Weights Great Easy Weight Loss Exercise DVD for Women, Moms Exercise, Brides, Easy Fast Safe Weight Loss DVD also for Women, Over 50, Baby Boomers Fitness & Easy Safe Weight Loss Exercises DVD! (DVD)
I bought this DVD because I wanted to do some simple basic exercise with my own light weights. Because I am obese I do not want to use machines or do any fast paced exercises.

This is a very good basic beginner's exercise DVD. Sunshine is always smiling , gives proper Form & Instruction with minimal narration, and The Pace is easy to follow.

Sunshine begins with a demonstration of the exercise and then does the exercise, which makes it very easy for me to follow.

Since I got this DVD I have lost Weight and gained more strength in only 6 weeks. I also started eating healthy foods with the Interactive menu planner & calorie counter that is available on www.funcercise.com. I put in the amount of calories that I want and chose the food that I LIKE, and the planner calculates it all, making it very easy for me to stay on track and lose weight in a healthy way without dieting. I Lost 10 LB in just 14 Days.

I am so satisfied with this Beginner's exercise DVD that I also ordered the Funcercise Resistance Bands DVD so I can have another exercise routine and not get bored.

This is a wonderful solution for me because I live in the Pocono mountains in PA, and I can Exercise Indoors on Hot Humid Days and on heavy snow days this coming winter.

I recommend this Beginner's Exercise DVD & the Funcercise Resistance Bands DVD to all who want to get fit, strong and lose weight without using machines & gyms!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow, April 1, 2007
This review is from: Beginners Exercise DVD: Beginner Fitness / Exercise DVD with Light Weights Great Easy Weight Loss Exercise DVD for Women, Moms Exercise, Brides, Easy Fast Safe Weight Loss DVD also for Women, Over 50, Baby Boomers Fitness & Easy Safe Weight Loss Exercises DVD! (DVD)
I am over 50 and the exercises are simple enough for me to follow but I just couldn't keep up. I don't care for the type of music being played in the background ... too hard rock for my taste. The video reminds us to breath throughout the exercise but the instructor doesn't show how she does it. This video is narrated while the instructor, Sunshine, is constantly smiling. I don't see her breathing! The cool down at the end was pleasant with nice soothing music and pictures.

I enjoyed this starter light weight lifting tape. It is not a fancy DVD, but does the job. I liked the relaxing pictures at the end of the tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exercise dvds only work if you use them and this one I do, September 10, 2007

This review is from: Beginners Exercise DVD: Beginner Fitness / Exercise DVD with Light Weights Great Easy Weight Loss Exercise DVD for Women, Moms Exercise, Brides, Easy Fast Safe Weight Loss DVD also for Women, Over 50, Baby Boomers Fitness & Easy Safe Weight Loss Exercises DVD! (DVD)
At first look this dvd seems sorta cheesy but who cares if you do it!! I have been able to keep up using this dvd. I have found with some dvds I spent too much time visualizing what I am supposed to be doing instead of doing. What I like about this one is that it is in voice over. The person doing the exercises may or may not be the one describing and counting but I don't get distracted. I am a 51 year old woman that has just started trying to get back to feeling healthy again and this dvd is one I would recommend to people in that position.

The exercises are all doable for me well the lunges are still giving me fits but I don't feel like I am outta my league at all. And I do feel the results too.

My doctor suggested I start a weight exercise. I did not think I needed it. After three months of exercising with this DVD I can tell the difference.

Well it's definitely easy enough for me to do - which is great! I hate to exercise but now it's something that I HAVE TO DO. I couldn't stand the misspelled words, but luckily she talks more than I had to read. It is a good beginners DVD for women over 50 in poor shape like me! I think it will do the trick to get me started!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Fitness, June 25, 2009
This review is from: Beginners Exercise DVD: Beginner Fitness / Exercise DVD with Light Weights Great Easy Weight Loss Exercise DVD for Women, Moms Exercise, Brides, Easy Fast Safe Weight Loss DVD also for Women, Over 50, Baby Boomers Fitness & Easy Safe Weight Loss Exercises DVD! (DVD)
I like this DVD. I started out using three-pound weights and I notice when I go up to five-pound weights, I get really sore, so it must be good exercise! My only nitpick is that the DVD is a bit amateurish. For instance, some of the words that appear on the screen are misspelled. Nice introduction to weight training, though, in a pretty beach setting.
