I suffer from OA of the hips and knees. My doctor has been after me to exercise to lose weight but it's a catch 22. I can't stand long enough to do aerobics and they are painful to me. This DVD solves that problem. All the exercises are from a chair! These are non-impact exercises and I can see and feel them working. I'm so happy with this DVD that I'm going to get the rest of the series. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has trouble standing, is overweight or simply wants a non-impact workout to begin excercising.

I am a physican that wants to exercise more but don't like the the high impact aerobics videos because of a foot injury. I like how Jodi's videos creatively adapts exercises to be done in a chair, and would be useful for a wide audience, young and old. In this video there are some leg and ab exercises, but it is primarly focused on a series of arm & shoulder strengthening exercises. I will recommend this tape to my patients.

My mother recently got foot surgery. I bought her this dvd because she was concerned that she wouldn't be able to exercise. She loves it and says that she will use it even after her foot has healed. It has great abdominal work for those who can't do regular sit ups.

I like this 25-minute video. It doesn't give you very much of an aerobic workout, but it does strengthen legs, abs, arms and shoulders. The pace isn't too fast (not too slow either), and there is a small but friendly-looking class doing the exercises with Jodi. You use weights, so as you gain strength, you can up your weights to keep it challenging. The 25 minutes goes very fast. I would buy another of her videos, maybe one which does more dancing to get the heart rate up. I'm very glad I got this.

If you are later able to exercise without a chair, this would still be a good video to keep those arms, shoulders and back strong.

I have osteoarthritis and have had all of Jodi's Sit and be Fit videos. I stopped using them much after I had my worst hip replaced and could walk for exercise. Now the other one is getting bad and I'm coming back to Jodi. (I'm also ordering her yoga version, which is new to me.) I have had other sit-down tapes, but hers were the ones I used. I like her direct, simple, congenial style.Its great to have options that don't make lower-body arthritis worse while supporting a degree of fitness and healthy body-awareness.

I have osteoarthritis in both hips and broke a bone in my right foot, so exercising can be painful for me. I tried this DVD for toning up and found it to be just what I need. I plan to order one of the Chair Dancing DVD's to get more exercise from the comfort of my chair.

It offers a good workout. It is good for people in wheelchairs who need to tone up their upper body.If you don't want a long workout this is for you.

Judi Stolove's DVD: Chair Dancing: Sit Down and Tone Up is a great way to exercise. It's amazing to realize how much of a workout you can have while sitting down.

I like the fact that I'm not just watching a slim woman doing exercises. STolove has about ten people working out along with her.....old, young, slim, hefty, men, and women. It's interesting to watch them go through the routines along with her.

This is an excellent workout DVD for all ages.

I placed an order for this exercise video on 4/20/09 for my mother with diabetes. I have not yet received this product as of 5/21/09. I am very dissapointed in the shipper. This is not acceptable.
