I had this for years and didn't turn it on because I couldn't bear another disappointing exercise video. At half my age, I did Susan Harris' Body Sculpting Basics (The FIRM) which is spectacular (and which I hope to resume at least parts of). I had never found anything that was well cued and appropriate to my current circumstances until I finally tried this video today. This instructor must have a great deal of experience -- or else she can magically see every way I am compromising the exercise :). The cueing is perfect and I think will be very helpful as I continue to use this same video over time. I mean that even once I am familiar with the routine, this particular cueing will not seem to slow down or hamper my experience. The narration is just right -- not too much, not too little, and there is plentiful information about how to adjust the exercise if/as needed. The setting is well designed and professionally done -- pleasing but not overly busy. There is one instructor -- not a lot of people and not brash music, overly bright colors, etc. It is designed so one can focus on the exercise. Someone who has mobility issues would be able to follow this just fine, I think. But, someone who is 'in between,' meaning past the days of trying to sculpt a 'beach body' but also not having current mobility issues -- will not be bored and will not be sitting around waiting for the next move. This is not meant to be particularly aerobic in nature (at least I don't think it is), so I get that from fast-paced walking. One who is looking for an aerobic exercise will not find it here. I have always been told we need balance, strength, and flexibility, as well as aerobic exercise. To me, this seems to cover the first three (especially the first two). As she explains, it is not necessary to do this every day. Twice a week is what she recommends. I intend an easy yoga practice on at least two of the days. In other words, this seems like an essential component of an exercise routine for those, say, over 50, but not like a 'be all and end all.' Nothing is, I don't think. Her manner is quite pleasant and encouraging without being syrupy and over the top. Again, this will be something I can watch from day to day without rolling my eyes or being put off by hyper enthusiasm (I am well past the stage of wanting that). She seems quite competent which engenders trust. I have taught health sciences courses and I am careful about who I take instruction from. I think this is just right for those of us who do not want fast-paced aerobics, complicated dance moves, etc. and yet are not anywhere near the stage of being restricted to doing those exercises that can be done while remaining seated. It seems to me to be effective in its aim, which is health promotion and disease prevention--arresting and preventing decline. I feel more healthy, 'well,' and capable after doing this just once and am looking forward to making it part of my routine. So grateful for her work (and I hope she chooses to release another video). I have used quite a number of videos that have not lived up to their promise but this one does. It is what it says it is and I think it will be of great benefit to those 50+. In a class all by itself.

When an older female relative of mine broke her arm slipping on some ice I made a promise to myself that I would start a strength training program when I turned 30 to reduce my lifetime risk of osteoporosis. I wasn't sure where to begin so I bought a bunch of exercise DVDs and joined a gym. What I found was that going to the gym proved to be too much of an inconvenience. I hated commuting to and from the gym at the expense of spending time with my family. I hated waiting for other people to finish using the equipment I needed. I hated watching people further along in their fitness journey work out (envy on my part). I also didn't enjoy being watched (I felt self-conscious). Needless to say, I didn't keep going to the gym. I then tried a few exercise DVDs at home and in my out of shape state I just could not keep up with the programming. So I bought a nice treadmill and figured that walking regularly was better than doing nothing at all but I still felt I needed a strength training program. I bought dumbbells and tried lifting weights on my own. I ended up injuring my wrists and put the dumbbells in the attic. When I turned 34 I felt a renewed desire to start strength training, not just to build healthier bones but to build muscle that might help me to burn more fat when at rest so that I could lose some weight. I decided to give this DVD a try. I was remarkably surprised by Ms. Hathaway's gentle approach. I could do her workout on the first try (albeit it took a few run throughs before I felt I was using the proper form for the exercises - it's difficult to watch and exercise - you may want to just watch the routine the first time through to get the gist of it). She gave easy to follow directions on how to do each exercise, she didn't do so many reps that I felt too exhausted to continue, she emphasized the importance of stretching muscles after exerting them, she used exercises that engaged opposing muscle groups, and shared how the exercises could be modified if they were too difficult or too easy. I was so pleased with her approach and her demeanor! I really enjoy watching the DVD and following along. Using this DVD is a stress reducer for me as well because her breathing directions when exercising clear my mind. This is exactly the sort of strength training program I was looking for, I only wish I had started it sooner. I was initially drawn to the flashier DVDs that showed women my age on the cover (the ones that I couldn't do!), so this one gathered dust for quite some time before I used it. It is a far more sensible and sustainable exercise program that I now use twice a week in addition to daily brisk walks on my treadmill. I am noticeably stronger now and I've lost a modest amount of weight (while gaining muscle) so it's certainly been a win all around. I really believe Ms. Hathaway is setting a good example for women my age. I want to be strong and independent as I get older and I can feel in my body that real change has occurred since I started using this DVD. I'm stronger and my balance has improved, along with my posture. I plan to continue using this program and would definitely recommend it to other young women who want to take charge of their bone health and overall well being.

If you work out regularly, or have in the past, this routine will be very easy. It seems that it is really geared towards women who have never exercised or who are much older. I'm pretty young and have always exercised, including heavy weight training and i still have osteoporosis. The value in this dvd is in learning how to modify exercise so that strong muscles don't overburden fragile bones. I haul around 50 pound loads frequently. I had no idea i was putting myself at risk of fracture. The tips here will help me avoid unnecessary injury. The dvd is quite well done.

Good variety of exercises that work the muscle groups of the whole body. You won’t get winded much, but you’ll definitely feel the results. Just choose lighter or heavier weights (dumbbells) to personalize your workout to your fitness level. I like that there’s no twisting. The instructor is completely scripted, which can be a positive or a negative, depending on your preference. Her voice is soft and encouraging, not drill-sergeant or high-energy, but I find her instruction just right. I don’t need hype. You may need to pause the video a few times, as the transitions are pretty quick, and you need your weights right close. Otherwise you’ll lag behind. This helps the 50- to 55- minute workout to go pretty quickly! You can download and print out her Exercise Log, which is colorful, fun to fill in, and motivating. About half the moves use no weights. I like this video a lot, and I don’t worry that I’m going to hurt myself! Session One is general instruction and Session Two is the workout. Only negative: if it was 20 -25 minutes and I did it every other day instead of 50 minutes every 3 days, it would be easier to work into the day’s activities. Summary: great video! I’m happy with it!

I've been using this DVD for a couple of weeks now. The exercises are easy to follow and the instructor is very watchable week after week; no annoying chatter or giggling. She's very professional, encouraging, and calm. The DVD is very well done. I can always hear the instructor and there are different camera angles that focus in on the moves. I'm very impressed with the shoulder blades and upper back exercises. I have never seen these before, and I've taken many exercise classes and used exercise DVDs. Strengthening these muscles makes so much sense, especially for me because my posture could use improvement. There is only one plank in this DVD, yay! My only suggestion for improvement would be for her to demo it done on the forearms/elbows as the easy position. She does mention you can go down to them instead of using your hands, but doesn't demo this as the easy version. Luckily I was shown this in PT because it's the only way I can do that plank. I can feel that I worked out the next day. My muscles in my arms and legs feel fatigued- no sharp pain. The stretching after each exercise is great. I have carpal tunnel so I'm reluctant to try the wrist exercises that are at the end of this workout or her other DVD with the bands.

After viewing 9 different DVDs, I chose this one which is by far the best. It is well organized. You can skip forward or back by using the extra arrow keys that go a scene at a time. Susie explains the exercises well, mentions modifications, is personable. If you get down on the floor or a firm mattress, she keeps you in one position for several exercises, so you don't have to keep turning from back to side to other side which can be difficult with even mild hand, foot, or hip injuries. My only concern is that the significant price increase and used copies only indicates that Susie is not able to maintain her product and hasn't turned this over to anyone willing to do so. That's a real shame because this is the best I have seen. I've been using it for six years with some other exercises rotated in for variety.

Bought this DVD in January. Have been doing it for about 5 weeks now. I absolutely love it! I feel stronger and more balanced already. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis of the hip and osteopenia of the spine in December. I was absolutely devastated. I am 62 years old with migraine associated with vertigo-and therefore, poor balance. I was afraid that with the osteoporosis diagnosis I was going to fall due to my vertigo and break something at any given moment. Now, with Susie's wonderful DVD exercise program, I already feel stronger and more in control. I am following her very valuable advice on how to bend, lift, etc. I do the balance exercises every day--and am seeing tremendous improvement in my balance already. I need all the help I can get in the balance department due to my vertigo issues. I am so loving the way I feel now. I am hopeful that with Susie's program I can at least stop or severely slow my bone loss. (Dare I hope to even increase my bone density?) I refuse to put osteoporosis drugs in my system due to many factors, and I am determined to naturally enhance my bones, or at least slow the loss. I take the appropriate supplements, walk 5 days a week (have for over 5 years now), and do Susie's DVD every 3 days as she recommends. I also try to eat appropriately, get enough rest, and take some stress reduction measures. I will get my next DEXA scan in two years, and I simply cannot wait to see my scores. I know that two years may not be enough time to show improvement, but to show a slowing or stopping of bone loss after two years would be great! I hope to be one of the lucky ones that can build some bone. I hope this for everyone out there. Get Susie's DVD, you will be glad you did. It will give you strength, balance, confidence and courage to tackle a scary diagnosis. I am so looking forward to Susie's next DVD's. Hoping they will be released soon!!!!!! Meanwhile, I'll see Susie in 3 days!

This is the eagerly-awaited DVD version of Susie Hathaway's class in strength training for osteoporosis prevention. The DVD has all the content of Susie's class, including the valuable understanding of the scientific basis of what you're doing. I like Susie's training because it's based on scientific research, not ooga-booga, and because it's tailored especially to be safe for women over fifty who are at risk because of low bone density. About three years ago, I fell and broke my wrist. Bone density tests showed I was on the brink of osteoporosis. Without realizing it, I had lost a lot of my strength over the years. I was tripping and often falling (which is how I broke my wrist), and suddenly I had a bleak vision of a future as an invalid. But I decided to do something, and that's when I heard about Susie's strength training class. I enrolled, even though I'd never worked with weights before. One year into strength training, my bone density tests showed an improvement, and my strength had increased dramatically. I felt better than I'd felt in ages. I've now been doing Susie's program for over three years. Along with improved strength, which makes everything easier, my balance is so much better that I simply don't fall down any more. I'm physically stronger and more active than I was 15 years ago, and much more optimistic about my health and my future. The women in Susie's classes have been begging her to put her program onto a DVD, and at last it's available. Now, when I can't make the class, I use the DVD. I get a great workout in my own home, with all the benefits of Susie's tips and pacing.
