Walking Fitness DVD for Seniors 50-80+, Rock the Walk 30-Day Challenge - Combine Other Exercise Moves While Walking in Place – Full Body Workout Improves Energy, Strength, Flexibility, and Balance

A good exercise for older people

Fun dvd when you need something but don’t want to spend hours in a hymn.

I may return this. I'm very confused about why he's using other people in this video. He's got three different people and he is recorded the same three sets of exercises with each one. I guess you're supposed to pick one that you like. But none of them are doing them very well and I find it very disconcerting. I don't understand why he didn't just do the exercises and leave the other people out. The exercise itself is good and I love the concept of 8 minutes which you can add to if you feel like it that day.

When my Afib kicks in, I can't get out and walk nor exercise very much. But I know that I do need to exercise and keep moving. This DVD is great for that because each segment is only 8 minutes long and contains a large variety of movements, done while you are walking. Each one is ten seconds long, then you go back to walking. There is a count-down for each exercise at the bottom of the screen, and when you find yourself wanting to quit, you can see that the end is almost in sight. The exercises are designed so that you can go slower than is being shown, which is great for those in rehab or just getting out of the hospital or having one of those days when you know you should be moving but just don't feel like it. The constant encouragement from the instructor at first was annoying, but after a while it becomes "friendly" and you get used to it. The fact that each segment is only 8 minutes long is such a help to those of us with heart or lung issues. I use this DVD all the time.

I love the concept of the exercises. Each set is 8 minutes long. I started out doing 2 different sets for a total of 16 minutes. I'm now up to 4 sets every day which is doable for me. I agree with others who say that the last woman (Cary) is very, very hard to watch. Not sure why he picked her to be on the DVD. I'm certain it's a man thing! She seems lost, does a lot of the exercises like a 3-year-old would and I find it completely distracting. I usually watch Doug because he actually looks like he wants to be there. I would actually buy a different DVD if I knew it would have other people exercising with Jaime. Keep Doug, just replace the two women. Other than that, I find it's a great workout.

The exercises seem to give a good work out without stressing joints. Not crazy about the women assistance, they lack personality, but I do like the instructor and the older gentleman assistant. this is one dvd exercise I think I'll stick with.

The concept of 8 min focused segments with flexibility to add-on is great, but the production was very low budget -- given the relative high price for this DVD. The backdrop is staged as a dingy, rundown old warehouse or garage, with non-descript rock posters, vintage speakers, keyboard etc. Clearly nobody wanted to pay royalty's to use real known rock music songs -- thus some made up form of annoying rock muzak without a distinct beat to keep pace with the exercise. The count down timer is confusing. Aside from the fitness instructor, it appears the producers recruited their mother or neighbor opposed to employing "senior" exercise professionals exhibiting a bit more enthusiasm. It's lacking motivational engagement...and to constantly be referred to as "guys" is annoying. Somebody should have coached him to use a diversity of phrases like y'all, folks, friends so as not to be monotonous. Was hoping for a bit more entertainment and motivation.

I got it for my mom who is 65 plus. I had to write in my praise for this DVD after my mom liked it so much and using it for a while now. She does only this work out most days, but she does 2 8-minute sessions a day, . She told me The best thing about it, she never gets sore afterward. It must be designed so that you're never over-doing any one movement but quickly moving on to the next body part. She really like the instructor positive encouragement.which really keep her motivated,I never saw my mom looking forward for her workout routine like that.I'm really glad I found this and most of all my mom loved it so much
