5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent basic and/or beginners workout!, December 3, 2007

I LOVE Joyce Vedral and have done her workouts (on and off) for about nine years and therefore own most of her DVDs already. But I have to say that this has to be one of my favorite JV DVDs. It is a no non-sense, basic, well paced workout. Some of her other workout DVDs are paced too fast and can be hard to keep up with, but not this one. It's brilliant and easy to follow. If you are just starting out or simply want a simple weights routine to do at home, I highly recommend this one. You will also need the book if you are starting out for all the extra info you don't get on the DVD.

Be aware that anyone looking for an advanced workout will not be happy with this one. It's basic but it WORKS!

The instruction and routine is very thorough but there is no glitz to this one. Straightforward and no music. I found it too slow but if you have never done weight training of any kind, this one is really easy to follow and would probably be a good place to start.

This review is from: The Complete Bone-Building Bodyshaping With Joyce Vedral/The Complete Joyce Explains Workout System (DVD)

I first became aware of how exercise can affect bone denisty when my daughter's riding instructor, a very hard-bodied woman in her late forties who rode all day every day, told us about a horse falling with her, full on her ankle. The doctor sent her to X-ray saying she should prepare to find out it was broken and she called back from the gurney being wheeled away, "Bet it's not!" She was right. All her physical exercise had strengthened her bones to the point that 1300 pounds of equine couldn't make a dent. As I reach "a certain age" I think more about doing something about bone density as well as muscle tone. I don't want to be one of those poor elderly women who walk bent over and afraid.

Joyce Vedral's DVD, Complete Bone Building Body Shaping Workout, is the best and most do-able of all the ones I've tried. Joyce, as always, shows you step-by-step and gives you time to learn the routine. She also gives you options for getting down on the floor or sitting on a chair instead, which is always a nice choice to have. This routine is great for any age, since Joyce is doing it side-by-side with a younger woman to show how versatile the routine can be, and it is a whole body workout. At one point Joyce opts to do an alternate leg routine that will have the same effect but is lower strain and she explains it's because of recent knee surgery. I like the fact that she encourages the viewer by throwing out reasons for you to keep going - "You want to be able to pick up those grandchildren!"

Good for beginner level of ability or as a maintenance routine for the already fit, good for any age, and offers all sorts of alternate positions and movements for special circumstances. Altogether GREAT!
