Respects your intelligence!

"Finally, an exercise DVD that respects our intelligence! As a previous dancer in my youth, but long out of shape, I enjoyed Ann Smith's dance methods as the basis for the exercise stretching, stregthening, breathing, flexibility moves, and relaxation routines. This is a must-have exercise DVD for seniors that are ready to be respected by the exercise instructor and her methods. Please know that being out of shape does not make these routines impossible - Ms. Smith is truely supportive in having you do just what you are able to do and she regularly urges you to listen to your body as it will let you know what it is able to handle. To top it off, the music is soothing and yet invigorating. A great find in the plethora of condensending "saccharin sunshine smile" exercise instructors on the usual senior workout program DVDs."

Nice production but hard to follow

"This is a very-well produced video on stretching and the music is excellent. Most of the moves are not difficult, but the main routines are continuous flow from one position to another. Despite an introduction to each routine where Smith shows each of the moves she will be making, when she gets into the actual program she moves rapidly to the music and the positions are hard to follow. One can't watch the video and do the positions, as a lot of them require looking somewhere else to execute properly. I've done this program about 10 times so far, as it is a good balanced workout for posture, flexibility and building core strength, but I still am not in synch with her movements."
