Hey, while you've been sitting there watching Oprah, I've been spending a few minutes every afternoon learning how to ease in to exercise with Mirabai Holland's "Moving Free (Longevity Solution)(Ease-in) Exercise DVD By Mirabai Holland" DVD. I didn't really think I'd be having a good time with this, but from the first five-minute segment, Mirabai made me know I knew could do it. I just did a little bit at a time until I could do the whole thing: warm up, cardio, stretching, cardio, stretching and cool down. Bang! I got up to the 30 minutes in a couple of weeks, and now it's the quickest 30 minutes of my day.

Good dvd for those starting back into exercise. Just when you start to feel the difference, your exercise is over. These are not different exercises; each one just builds on the previous. I would recommend it for those who do little to no exercise.

I think this exercise routine is perfect for someone(like me) who has not exercised in a long time and needs to get up and start. It starts with a warm up and then increases in 5 minute sections that you move along to at your own pace. The routine is easy and not boring and has definitely helped me feel less stiff and more energized.

The Ease-in video is an excellent introduction for both beginners and people who have not exercised recently. Mirabai's introduction is informative as to the benefits of exercise to both your body and health in general.

Beginning with the 5 minute warm-up each segment is slow and very easy to follow. As you move on to the additional segments, it continues to be slow and not overwhelming, nor is it intimidating.

Since Mirabai makes it all look very easy to follow and understand, I know that I will continue to use this to build up my stamina and go on to additional excercise.

This just wasn't the right video for me, so I gave it to my 79 year old mother. I think it will be perfect for her to use when she can't get outside to walk. It does have nice music and the setting is beautiful, but this wasn't enough of a workout for me and there wasn't enough variety within the workout. Also, each segment could have been varied instead of just a shorter version of the same thing. Many exercise instructors get on my nerves and I have to say Mirabai doesn't; she keeps talking to a minimum, which I like. I want something more challenging than this one, but not a superhuman hour-long killer workout with a lot of jumping around. I'll just keep looking.

I live in a 55 and over community. Not that we are "old", but, it is nice to find a DVD that addresses a less stressful exercise program. We had another DVD that was not geared to older individuals. This DVD is excellent and less strenuous.

Thanks,

I didn't care for it as there was too much talk between exercises and just went too slot for me.
