Are these good for beginners trying to learn proper form or is there a different model better for beginners?

Developing a proper kick is not helped or necessarily hindered by the wearing of fins. Fins are worn, typically, to strengthen the leg muscles, not as a means to develop the proper form.

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

I'm a Triathlon Coach and spend a lot of time w/newbies who have no swimming skills...I always have them get a pair of these to use in all their workouts...

Yes. Definitely. There is a zumba basics with this set. Once you become familiarized with the basics you are good to go. I would stick with this newer version of zumba. I have all of them and this is by far my favorite. The zumba rizer is amazing! The workouts on this version are much more intense.

Not necessarily, but not because they're bad. When you first start you will miss often resulting in chipped and bent blades. There are sets which are less expensive without being cheap and are better suited for someone who is learning and going to abuse their blades a bit. One you've dialed it in and are sure it's a hobby for you, then upgrade to a set like this.

They may seem difficult to ride at first,but you will gradually get the hang of them. I've been riding them for almost 30 years,they really help with your form,not to mention giving you a great low resistance workout. Just put on some tunes and pedal!

I am a beginner myself and had the same question. I ended up buying this set and have nothing but good to say about it. I offer a somewhat skewed opinion though because these are the only disc that I have tried.

I purchased these for my grandsons and honestly don't know how well they worked out for them. They are beginners too.

Before beginning any workout routine you want to clear it with your doctor. If you're cleared then this is the perfect workout. We lose muscle tone as we grow older and weights significantly help our bones and joints. A beginner should start with light weights or no weights. Form is most important when your're learning, but don't worry you'll still get a good workout. I would also say to be careful when doing lunges, this can hurt your knees and its always okay to perform an alternate exercise,which might now be shown on the DVDs. If you can exercise in front of mirror this will help you see your form. Good luck to you. Before beginning any workout routine you want to clear it with your doctor.

Yes you use them the same way it's just the men's is really heavy for a beginner so if you're just starting out stick with the women's.

Good on plywood. Better on softened wood. Make sure the wood has been softened by water & dried before expecting them to stick in the target. As far as blades for beginners, the heavier the blade, the easier it is for a learner to learn the balance & rotation for the throw. Hope this helps.

Personally, I don`t feel very stable while working out on this twist model, I`d rather have the classic model. I also found that my sports shoes were slipping too, couldn`t clutch onto the surface. For this reason I`ll sell it and get the old model that I had before. I work out regularly in a gym but I bought this appliance because I don`t have time to go the guy as much as I`d like since I can take my kids with me.

I can tell you that these knives are light, and a bit small, but very good priced and the metal is good.I am a beginner myself and have not managed to throw these knives without spin. They are too light to use the japanese knife throwing method, and I haven't managed to get down the finger flicking no spin throw method. I can throw them with spin just fine.Maybe you'll have better luck with them?

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

Yes it is a perfect practice tool for beginners. The height is adjustable and durable. Must add a weight to the base to keep it from falling over. That is not really a big deal. Just go to a sporting goods store and buy a 10 pound weight.

It's a beginners set. I'm 5'9" and it works alright for me. I suck though and I was not expecting much. It's definitely for beginners and I really don't think you can go wrong with them even if you're 3" taller considering the price.

The Bosu is way better!!! First of all you can use it as a "step" for workouts and as a ball for abs.Also when you flip it over to its unstable side you can ues it for push-ups, planks,rear end exercises,ect..Listen those little disks are great but limited. Go to a web site called collage video and type in BOSU in the key word section. This web site gives you previews of the videos it sells.WATCH THEM ALL and ask yourself if all of that is possible on the little disks.The BOSU is much more bang for the buck because of its versatility.Good luck!

I am a beginner and I am loving this machine. It comes with many "foots". Once you get the hang of it, Its like YES! I am a pro. Not really but its fun to dream. You will have no problem getting the hang of it. Do a simple project first then the sky is the limit.
