Individuals just starting out with an exercise program will find this video challenging, but not overwhelming. Gilad's first beginners' video lasts only 30 minutes. This one is 55 minutes long--a little more than I expected--but it is well worth it. I can tell I've worked out, but don't feel overwhelmed, over sore, and over tired at the end of the tape. A very good buy!

I am horribly out of shape...so I was reluctant to start something like this. But its so easy and you feel like you've worked out. I feel better physically and emotionally when I'm done. Highly recommend it to anyone who's just starting out...just do it. You'll be glad you did!

When I started exercising again this past January I remembered how motivating Bodies In Motion with Gilad was way back when I used to be in shape. Borrowed a couple of his tapes from the library and found this one to be excellent for my new beginner status. Thought after a few months it might become too easy but I was wrong. I still work up a decent sweat and have a whole lot of fun doing it. Yes, it may be a little repetitive but those of us not co-ordinated enough for complicated dancey aerobics find Gilad's workouts fit the bill. Definitely worth having if you can find a copy.

This video is awesome! I was really reluctant to try aerobics videos because I thought they would be hard to follow and not motivating. Gilad's videos are great, they are just the right pace. This one has a good mix of toning and aerobics and is really the only one of my exercise videos that I am consistently motivated to do. He is not annoying like many aerobics instructors and the moves are easy and fun. I highly recommend this video to any one who really wants to get back in shape!

I am not terribly coordinated and found that many of the so-called beginners' aerobics videos were too complicated for me. Gilad's video was easy to follow, and I got a great workout too!

This excercise video is great for beginners, as well as for people who are returning to working out. It's easy to follow, energetic, and fun! The Hawaiian scenery is beautiful and inspring. This is a good overall workout since it includes aerobics and toning.

once again Gilad at his best. don't be fooled by the title. beginners and advanced aerobics fans will enjoy this one. Gilad has a way, like a good box of chocolate; of inviting you along for "just a little more". just the push we all need. once you get the steps down you are ready to go for a good long time. one of the most enjoyable aerobics tape in my collection. Thank you Gilad

This was my first exercise tape a couple of months ago and I had not exercised in a long time. I'm 40 years old and about 20 lbs overweight.

I LOVE this tape. I do it two days a week alter-nating with The Firm Total Body and Jane Fonda for body sculpting.

It has an excellent warm up with 4 low impact aerobic sequences followed by squats, upper body work then glutes and abdominals with manageable reps. I love the live music provided by the band, especially the steel drum.

The movements are fairly easy to follow, although it took a few times on a couple of them for me. The people who exercise with him all look real.

Overall a thorough workout for beginners.

He has always been one of my favorites....he is very easy going and not self important. When I was in good shape I loved his tapes and when I needed to get back in shape , his tapes were the first I went to...my favorite...easy to follow yet challenging if you are not in great shape.

I really like this workout--has a good warmup, fast-paced but easy-to-follow aerobics section, good stretches and toning exercises at the end. The only thing I don't like is that he does pieces of a routine and then "starts from the top" to do them all in order--seems too repetitive--but gets a good sweat going. Again, I like easy-to-follow when the camera always shows you what move is going on, and Gilad prompts very well. Also, I like that it is 1 hour long. Also like the tropical scenery,and the music is "Carribean-like."
