Following major knee surgery, I was unable to do traditional aerobic exercise as I was ordered not to put any weight on my leg. What a relief that I found this workout DVD! I did it right in my wheelchair with a full cast on my leg and still lost weight and toned up. The instructor does a great job of moving the viewer through traditional boxing moves at a pace that makes you break a sweat and burn calories--all the while sitting on your duff! The instructor, David Stamps, is very pleasant, enthusiastic, and easy on the eyes as well. There are 2 workouts on the DVD--one is a longer workout designed for maximum muscle toning and calorie burning, the other is a quick workout for when you may not have the time, or want a lighter workout. Both workouts made me break a sweat! I also feel like I could defend myself with the new boxing moves I learned. Thank you David Stamps for making this video--don't know what I'd have done without ya.

I recently had foot surgery and am unable to stand on my feet for a long period of time or do high impact exercises. My usual workouts consist of running and P90X DVD's so I am fairly athletic. This video works well for someone who does have a physical handicap in their legs or feet which prevents them from standing much if at all. It works the upper body and abs. Obviously there isn't much being done to the lower body in terms of toning. One complaint for me is that the video wasn't long enough. I was just beginning to sweat when it was almost over! I could have kept going for sure. I am used to a much more intense and difficult workout though so maybe this is perfect for someone just starting their exercise routine. All in all, a decent video for someone like me recovering from an injury who's used to being active and doesn't want to just sit all day feeling helpless as far as working out goes.

This dvd is a great work out and so much fun! The instructor keeps you motivated, explains things very well and is encouraging all the way through. I have A LOT of weight to get rid of and have limited mobility. I've tried a lot of the other sit and be fit dvds, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It's the only one I have found so far that really makes me feel like I'm working out and gets me sweating. Besides, how much fun is it to feel like you're punching the weight off! It might not be great for anyone with osteo problems but other than that I think just about anyone could do this workout.

I have had the privilege of taking this instructor's class in North Hollywood, CA and I must say it was an exhilirating workout session. So I was not at all disappointed by the Chair Aerobics. His enthusiatic personality and award winning smile engages the participant and makes them feel empowered to complete the chair exercises. This video is great not only for those confined to a chair to do exercises but also those who would like a change of pace in their workout regimen. I recommend it to EVERYONE who believes in taking care of their body in fun and in health.

This video has been wonderful for me. I have been on bed rest for over a month and doing this exercise cheers me up and makes me feel like I am not losing all my muscle tone. It is a great length for me- recovering from surgery...I would suggest rewinding it and going through the last 3 combos for a longer workout. The instructor makes me smile! He has a fantastic (adorably goofy) personality.

I am 26 and broke my ankle and cannot put any weight on it for at least 3 months, and it will be nearly a year until I can get close to my old fitness level. Before the injury I was running and doing yoga on a daily basis. I have tried out a number of workout videos, chair dancing and chair yoga, and this series is the best! It keeps you active and building muscles. I think it is the closest thing to a regular workout you can find if you are stuck in a chair. I highly recommend this series, especially the Boxing, for people of all ages and fitness levels.

I was very pleased with this video and the workout. I have knee and ankle problems which make it difficult for me to do a lot of floor work. I actually broke a sweat and felt good after completing the workout. I would like to buy more of these programs.

I recently had ankle surgery on both feet and am unable to do standing exercises. This DVD was just what I needed! The instructor is very engaging and keeps you from getting bored. I was skeptical about being able to burn calories while seated but I definitely worked up a sweat. Having the option of a full (approx. 35 mins) or quick workout is also a plus. Highly recommend this product.

This DVD was just what I was looking for. The instructor is so friendly, energetic and he makes the exercises fun. I would recommend this video to my friends and relatives.

I was shocked at how quickly I received this DVD and I was so excited to get started. I have never had a exercise DVD that was so much fun and kept my attention and desire to keep watching it. I love this DVD!!!
