Just as I remember it - feel the burn.  That was 25 years & 30 lbs ago. But I am motivated and will stick with it.  I'm wondering how hard are other 55 yo are doing with it.  I struggled at first but every time it gets easier.  I recommend it to anyone seeking a good all over workout.  It will be worth it. What abt you?

I've had to recently switch to low impact cardio due to overtraining injuries and this workout fits the bill! Jessica is so utterly charming and her workouts just make me happy. I've been able to keep exercising while recovering thanks to her online workouts and her newest dvds. I've been an advanced exerciser for over 20 years and I feared this just wouldn't get my heart rate up enough -- I was wrong! Perfect for any level!

I usually hate doing work out DVDs because I get bored very easily. I saw Brooke on Live with Kelly and they showed some of the moves in the DVD and I decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved it! I run 5 days a week for cardio and do this workout video 3 days a week. I have done it 4 times and I already feel stronger! It is just enough to compliment my cardio sessions. It is definitely a tough lower body workout. The upper body is challenging, but only if you have weights. The core was very tough and I enjoyed the variety of moves! I would recommend this to anyone!

I picked this up based on the reviews that I read on Amazon and they were right - it's a great workout.  I haven't seen the Work Out series on Bravo, but I'd heard that it was good.  Jackie is the star of that program and I only wish now that I could see this.
This is a body targeted workout that uses interval training to get it done.  There are three programs and they each focus on different body parts; upper body, lower body and abs.  Each are fairly tough going but very effective.  I've done this twice already and I'm as sore the second time as the first.  I enjoy it though and have fun doing it which is the main thing because it's making me want to do it again.  All you need are some dumbells and some space and almost anyone can do it.  The combination of weights and cardio are what make it most effective and I feel like I can already feel some results.
Overall, this is a fun and enjoyable workout that makes you work hard and burn a lot of calories.  I love it.

I love this workout! It's my first one with Alison and won't be the last. It provides a good combination of light weights and cardio- really gets your heart rate up. The weight training is good, variety in the typs of moves. The cardio is another thing.  Watch it first before you do it to get an idea of what to do. There are a few what I consider 'tricky' steps in the salsa dancing that I had to do a few times first before doing the workout.  The kickboxing is awesome, great cuing and variety of moves. The standing ab work is fantastic.

I love this workout video.  I am 54 years old and have let myself get out of shape and overweight.  This is a great workout for beginners or those that are overweight and haven't exercised in a long time.  I am able to do the exercises although the tricep dips are very difficult for me for some reason.  I noticed that after a few days it was easier to perform the exercises and I didn't get to the fatigue stage as quickly.  The first time I just watched the workout to see what it entailed, it seemed too easy but once I began doing it I could feel the workout and I was sweating like crazy.

This was the perfect choice for me to get moving again and to lose some weight and get in shape.  I highly recommend it and can't wait to purchase more of her videos. I can feel the subtle changes in my body already and I'm not finished with the entire 30 days yet.

I love this & it whipped me into shape really fast.  I was out of shape really bad due to not exercising in years.  Mandy is really motivating and its a really inspirational dvd.  She provides encouragement and ways that almost anyone can do it, even if they have injuries or are not quite as flexible, and variations too for more advanced ways to do the poses and exercises once you get the basics down.  This is what started my obsession with yoga!  Now I have more DVDs but most days I do this one still because it's just the perfect balance of yoga plus toning exercises and cardio for a really good workout.  And I see results extremely fast!  Would recommend this to anyone interested in getting into Yoga or just wants to mix up their workouts a bit.

You will never be lose as to what workout you need or want to do anymore. I wish it would explain the exercise more in depth, to help out beginners more.

This is a great workout for all levels. There is an adjustment period of your body getting used to the exercises, but after just a few weeks  I was amazed to see my wrists, hips and ankles much more flexible and able to get through the whole video. I also noticed my back hurt a lot less! There are adaptations for folks like me who are less flexible and in shape.

I have many and done many of Jillians dvds. I haven't worked out in almost two years. Frightful i know. But decided to get this when i passed by it in Walmart. I gotta say first i love the backround its bright and not distracting. I love it its just what i need to begin working out again. I feel fresh and energized after this workout. I look forward to start using my other dvds again. But i know if i threw in say her ripped in 30 dvd id probably not get half way through and id give up...i know this because ive popped in that very dvd four or so mounths ago...gave up half way.
This is wonderful and low impact. I think these are very beginer friendly.
However, if your someone who is very very obese (as other reviews have pointed out) id say go for Denise Austins beginner workouts. She is the queen of beginner workout dvds.

I've owned Your Shape for about a month, and overall I'm quite pleased with it.  I had some doubts about it initially because I read a slew of negative reviews just moments after ordering the title.  The main issues consumers had were the annoying, "Uh, oh! Your arms!" comments and the speculations that the camera was dead wrong about how well they were doing the exercises, and here's my response to those issues:  The first time I did a workout, I was in the 50% range, and even though I was constantly nagged by Jenny, it was good exercise, so I couldn't argue with it.  Then over time my percentage improved, and on some days I manage around 90%, so there is a learning curve to this game; in addition I have definitely felt and seen results with my body.  I'm a musician (I play viola) and muscular endurance is very important to me; I honestly think I perform concerts better now than before I started exercising, so I'm very grateful to Your Shape for the guided motivation.  Here's a few suggestions I have:

1.  If you want to gain strength in your arms, you should defintiely get a set of weights because most of the arm strengthening exercises, with the exception of narrow pushups, are most effective with weights, i.e., bicep curls.

2. I find that because there is a bit of lag with the camera, you sort of need to anticipate Jenny's movements to maintain a high percentage.

3. Some reviews complained about how you can't tell when Jenny will start up again after a break.  This isn't quite true; there is a timer bar at the bottom of the screen, and it displays what the upcoming exercise is.  As you become familiar with what the exercises are, you'll find yourself in command of the workout.

4. Make sure you select a variety of areas of the body to focus on for each workout; otherwise you may end up doing a lot of the same exercises over and over again.  I made the mistake of only telling it to strenthen my legs, and I ended up with 50 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of leg exercises, though in retrospect, the heavy cardio wasn't a bad thing.

So, in short, you'll get great exercise from this title, and with a bit of a learning curve, you'll start to have fun!

I really wasn't too sure about getting this one.....  I had no clue who she was but I thought what the heck... it sounded good.  I'm so glad I did!  I honestly can say that I love this video... everything about it.  Instructions are clear and wonderful, it's focused completely on making sure you have the right form and you do the exercises right, and you WORK those muscles.  There is not any time wasted..... just getting in shape.  My muscles burned after all of these workouts.  And once I get good at the fist 15 min workouts for the abs, arms, and
buns, I can move on to a more difficult one for each of them!  Honestly the best workout investment I've ever made.

I would wake up every morning stiff and couldn't move around for the first two hours of the day.  I started using this machine 6 weeks ago, and I hardly notice my stiffness anymore.  I use it every morning and night for 13 minutes each time, holding different positions to make sure I work out every muscle I can.  Everything is toning up very nicely.  I wish I would have brought this years ago. I'm sleeping better because the stiffness in my body is gone, I feel like it gives me a boost of energy when ever I need it.  It's fun to do, I can see myself doing this for many years to come,  I have recommended this to 10 people and let them try mine, which everyone is now getting one too.  I'm very much into good health, detoxing and taking the best care of myself and Over all I think this is one of the best purchase I've made for my body.

I love this workout because I'm one of those people who do not have the determination to go to the gym on a daily basis or do routine workouts like going on a treadmill or doing weights. I got Rockin Body from Groupon and the entire time I used it, I would work up a sweat and tone my entire body. It's amazing how the dance routines seem so simple but you feel the effect on your arms, legs, butt and abs. I haven't been on it as regularly as I would like to but I would tend to play "Shaun T's Dance Party" which is 45 minutes long and is pure cardio. I didn't even think I was working out coz the entire time I'm jumping, spinning and moving I was having so much fun. I highly recommend this to people who just need help to lose weight by having fun and not to those who are workout junkies.
