Strictly for Beginners
As stated in the first review, if you are an avid exerciser you will not learn anything new from this series of exercise tapes. For the person new to exercise these tapes give a lot of useful information on form, muscles, technique and modifications. I am in my mid 50s, am an avid exerciser and I have to modify exercises due to arthritis in my knees, so I thought their approach to exercise is a good one. The moves on each tape is very basic and easy for a beginner to follow, which would definitely seem boring to an experienced exerciser. Both Cindy and Robyn have trouble keeping time with the music, and Cindy was out of step a few times, but I found this to be encouraging for a beginner. It clearly shows that not everyone is always co-ordinated, even Cindy Joseph! And in fact in the cardio video Robyn tells Cindy that it didn't matter when she missed a cue, the important thing was that she kept on moving. Isn't that what exercise is about? My only real complaint is the camera angle is at times a bit frustrating, it is cocked sideways some of the time getting a shot of the beautiful Cindy. But because the moves are quite simple, after doing the tapes a time or two anyone would have no problem following along. Our bodies do change in our 50s and in order to keep fit it is important to exercise and make modifications when necessary to avoid injuries. If you can hang with the funky camera angles, all in all a good place for the beginner to start a well rounded fitness program.

Deceptive Title, This is Strictly for Beginners
I turned 50 a month ago, and have been an avid excerciser for over 15 years, either at home using videos, or at the gym. I purchased the entire collection, thinking that perhaps I might gain some insight or suggestions on improving or modifying my routines. These tapes are boring, repetative and frustrating. I'm thinking perhaps the music was added after each DVD was recorded, since I can't imagine anyone being as rhythmically challenged as these two seem to be. The word "Keeping" should be removed from the title, since if you are already fit, these workouts will not keep you there. Actually. there are many other instructors with workouts for beginners that would definitely motivate a person new to excercising to continue working out. It's a shame, actually, this collection seems to perpetuate the myth that people over 50 need to slow down....I disagree!
