5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Way to Get Started, July 12, 2009

This review is from: Moving Free Longevity Solution Cardio Dance Level 1 Easy Aerobics DVD for Beginners, Boomers and Seniors Exercise by Mirabai Holland (DVD)

If you've never used a dance/exercise DVD or haven't taken an exercise class, this DVD is a great, nonthreatening way to start and to get a reasonable aerobic boost. The instructor keeps it simple and walks you through the moves. This was important to me, a baby boomer and first-timer who had just been disappointed by another dance/exercise video I had bought, by another instructor, who zipped through the moves so fast that I couldn't learn them. I used to dance casually when I was younger, like most of us, but it had been a long time since I'd had to think consciously about coordinating arm and leg movements. This instructor makes it easy. If you spazz out on a couple of the moves the first time, don't worry -- you'll get them the second time around. Again, she keeps it nice and simple. She also does warm-up and cool-down/stretching at the beginning and end, respectively. Note: This DVD isn't for people who are in gung-ho competition with themselves and want to collapse in an exhausted heap at the end of the workout and lose 10 pounds in two days. It's for the rest of us. (P.S. If you're a first-timer and have a hectic lifestyle, like me, beware of the dance/exercise DVDs out there for "busy people"; e.g., the ones that cram everything into 10-minute aerobic sessions. As mentioned, the one I got didn't spend nearly enough time on teaching the moves, and I ended up not using it.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect exercise!, February 27, 2009

This review is from: Moving Free Longevity Solution Cardio Dance Level 1 Easy Aerobics DVD for Beginners, Boomers and Seniors Exercise by Mirabai Holland (DVD)

I have been going to the Y for aerobic group exercises for many years,(I'm 75) and decided I needed a break. This DVD fills the bill, I can do it in my own home whenever I want. My only wish would be that it was longer, but you do have the option to do it over again if you want.
I also got Mirabai Holland's Fabulous Forever easy strength and easy stretch DVDs and find I can combine them however I wish for the perfect workout.
This is easy exercise, and you feel energized when you finish.Highly recommended for senior ladies like me.

This review is from: Moving Free Longevity Solution Cardio Dance Level 1 Easy Aerobics DVD for Beginners, Boomers and Seniors Exercise by Mirabai Holland (DVD)

This video gives you the information you need about your target heart rate zone, exactly how to figure it out and achieve it. At the end you can actually take your heart rate with the timing done for you. The warmup is thorough and concise, the dance movements are easy to learn and follow, especially for the inexperienced or older person. Mirabai's soothing and motivational manner make it something you can and want to do over and over again.
