THIS IS A MANAGEABLE WORKOUT
AS MUCH AS I LIKE THIS WORKOUT, I LIKED EVEN BETTER THE "FIT PACK" WORKOUT BY THIS SAME TRAINER, JOEL HARPER. "FIT PACK" HAS KEPT MY INTEREST AND ENTHUSIASM FOR WORKING OUT AND, LIKE THE "YOU ON A DIET" DVD, DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY EQUIPMENT...."FIT PACK" TAUGHT ME A NUMBER OF CREATIVE AND DO-ABLE EXCERCISES I HAVE NOT SEEN ELSEWHERE.

Nice, but use caution.
These are okay introductory workouts -- apparently just what the doctors ordered -- but should have more attention to form and safety. For example, parts of the routine require you to balance standing on one foot. The very thin instructors do this bare-foot and do not say anything about foot or ankle support. I am quite heavy; after doing this workout, barefoot as shown, only a few times I developed what may have been a stress fracture in one foot that took several weeks to disappear. I have no medical training, but I suggest athletic footwear if you are a heavier person.

"Situp" Solution
Finally, a good idea for protecting your neck! For years I have started and stopped workouts with "crunches" because they hurt my neck and did very little to strengthen my abs. Because I usually begin a workout because I need to reduce the size of my stomach and tighten my abdominal muscles, I have tried numerous workouts. I believe I have found a workout that will work! I can do the abdominal portion of this dvd! I am AMAZED! I would highly recommend this workout as challenging, but doable. So far I've only done the Beginner Level.
