DVD Reviews of Strong Body, Ageless Body with Erin O'Brien
DVD Review: great pace, can adapt it to your ability easily
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a fast and enjoyable 45-minute workout, with a warmup to get you going. Erin explains every move well, and her personality is calm and encouraging. In the first half there is an overlay showing optional variations. (I would have preferred seeing the variations full screen and the repeats inset, as you pretty quickly want to do the variations.)
Erin uses the same weights (two 6lb hand weights) throughout (plus a mat), but if you have 2 or 3 different weights handy you can easily swap them over if some muscles (like your biceps) can take more weight than others. The number of reps is about right too; just enough to tire you out but not too many that you'll get bored. She works the entire body well, but this is strength training only (no in-between cardio blasts or anything like that) - but some days you don't feel like jumping around anyway and just want to pump up. Definitely a keeper.
DVD Review: Older woman's perspective
Summary: 4 Stars
I am 55 years old, walk daily and lift medium weights 3x per week and decided to add this to the exercise regimen. This 45 minute set of exercises is not about heavy weight lifting. You will be doing about 20 reps in 3 sets, moderately fast paced. Erin is using 6 lb weights in each hand, so I started with 4 lbs. You will do shoulders, squats (lots), biceps, rows, triceps, reverse lunges, lat rows and some balancing and abs. This is all low impact, for those with creaky knees like me (yay!). The first time using the DVD, I was 100% there with the weights, only about 75% able to keep up with the floor work. Erin gives no advice as to what weights to pick, but does provide good instruction about posture. There is a teeny, tiny box on the right hand side showing the more advanced moves. Another odd bit is there are distracting changes in the filming, going to black and white, not very helpful. Overall a very good workout, NOT for beginners, but on the mark for intermediate exercisers. DVD Review: Great full body strength workout
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a full body strength workout that wasn't too long. At 45 minutes, this dvd fits the bill. The workout covers upper body, lower body and abs. After doing the workout a few times, I've felt the most sore in my legs and glutes, a bit in my upper body and not as much in my core. I think adding heavier weights will make the upper body more challenging. (She also shows some more advanced moves to try.) If you were going to do this workout exclusively, I think you'd need to add some additional core work if you really wanted to work your abs.
A few reviewers have noted that she transitions quickly. This is true at times. But I'd much rather that she move along than spend too much time setting up each exercise. Eventually I'll be able to catch up. I have other dvds that I like, but the set up is so slow. I wish that all producers of exercise dvd's would realize that if you do the workout enough times, you don't need or want to listen through all that set-up time after time. Erin's personality is best described as quirky. I like her attitude and much prefer her style over someone like Denise Austin.
DVD Review: If I Can Do This, So Can You
Summary: 4 Stars
I have fibermyalgia and do water aerobics, but have wanted a workout that I could do at home when I wasn't at the gym. I don't like buying something I haven't tried, so I checked this out at my local library and had the opportunity to try it before I bought it. When I previewed this video, I wasn't sure that I would be able to do it; however, I was pleasantly surprised. I found this exercise video challenging and doable. I like working with the weights and doing the exercises with Erin as a leader. She provides clear directions and gives plenty of instructions on how to do the exercise, how to hold your body, and how to breathe. She also tells you what not to do and why the exercise is valuable for your body. You can select just parts of the video or you can do the whole thing.
I am a 58 year old person (and not in the greatest shape) who enjoys exercising to strengthen my body. I like the length of the exercise video and feel good after I finish the video. I recommend this because it has many levels of intensity and provides a challenge without going to the extreme.
DVD Review: never received my purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this DVD almost a month ago and never received it. After alerting moviemars about my "lost" package, they just cancelled my order and refunded my money, stating they were having trouble getting items to my area - I live in a major city and find that hard to believe...there was no attempt to resend my item or fix the "mail" problem!
