I've been working out with this DVD everyday for a couple weeks and I really enjoy the routine Ms. Lyons designed. It has been easy on my back and knees. ( There is a special move called the "James Bond" that really stretches my back.) The dread factor is very low. It is great to workout with an instructor who actually seems to enjoy what she is doing and has fun. The one downfall ( maybe an intentional downfall) is that the upper body and lower abs are the focus of the strength training segment of the workout. None of the exercises are for the legs. The strength training segment lasts 10 minutes, and then there is a 10 minute indoor walk.

In all, the video has two 20 minute workouts and each has a great warm-up, strength training routine, walk, and then cool-down. This is a good routine and you feel healthy afterward, not sore and tired like you can't do anything else with your day activity-wise.( I have felt that way with many workouts.)

The title says you can Sit Down & Shape UP. I have back and leg problems I thought this was the video for me but a large amount of it is done standing.
