DVD Reviews of Absolute Beginners Fitness: Weight Training - Strength & Tone for Beginners
DVD Review: Just another fitness video for the young and fit
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to start with a disclaimer: I gave up on this program about 2 minutes into the Warm Up.
Why? Because like all other fitness program, this one SWITCHES MOVES on the poor beginner every 4 or 5 SECONDS! I can't keep up, and it makes me feel so stupid I want to cry. First you walk in place for about 4 steps, then when you're not even sure you're getting that right (how high do I lift the feet?), start popping over to one side! Huh? Oh, never mind, now I want you to go front-front-back-back and at the same time please do this complicated maneuver with your arms! Got that? No, you're still at the side lunge thing? Well, too late, that's over already and I now want you to do another move more complicated than the cha-cha-cha for 3 seconds.
I did go through the introduction and the explanation of the movements. Those were good, so you get 1 star. And besides, I don't know how to give you zero stars.
Here's a hint for the creators of this video: find someone who really is an absolute beginner and beta-test your program. If they turn off the power 30 seconds into the warm up, maybe your program needs some revisions.
Only someone who's been doing warm-ups like the one in here all their lives can follow the complicated, bait-and-switch exercise in frustration in this video. NOT BEGINNERS.
What I need: a warm-up where the routine changes no more frequently than every 30 seconds. Hey, it takes me 10 just to figure out what YOU're doing, 10 more to make sure I'm doing it right! Let me just enjoy it for 10 more seconds, ok?
Example: Walk in place for 30 seconds, side-steps for 30 seconds, etc.
Too bad. Friendly instructors, good quality taping. Would have preferred a little bouncy Bach in the background, but I don't suppose there's any chance of ever finding that...
I weicome responses especially if a reader knows of a program like the one I'm dreaming of, or the makers of this one come up with a corrected version.
Thanks!
