Great for improving flexibility
Both of the workouts on this DVD are suitable for the 50+ age group.I like doing these with my husband when I get home from work. I do a more vigorous workout in the morning but he doesn’t do any workout in the morning. He is a remodeling contractor and is active throughout the day. He has good upper and lower body strength but his flexibility is not so good and he is beginning to suffer from arthritis. This causes aches and pains. These workouts are doable for him. He feels better afterwards.The anti-aging workout is the easier of the two and consists mainly of gentle stretches. It begins with a standing routine and ends with a floor routine. I believe the joint integrity is all standing. It involves more movement. You use a ball, a lemon and a stretchy band. We substituted a pillow for the ball and a tennis ball for the lemon.This is a great DVD for PM, preventative maintenance, to keep from suffering from the aches and pains of arthritis by retaining your flexibility.

Four Stars
A good workout for me and my osteoarthritis. Just the right speed and I like the variety.

It's okay.
The exercises are good but Suzanne Andrews is a bit odd and I personally find her kind of annoying. It also says that you don't need any equipment but then requires you to use several different props.

It alternated between exercises that were far too easy (I have taught Pilates myself for many years
I have found many beginner yoga, pilates, and low impact routines on DVD that were much more effective, and hip arthritis-friendly than this one. It alternated between exercises that were far too easy (I have taught Pilates myself for many years, so except for the arthritis pain I am in relatively good shape though a little overweight now that the hip issues have slowed me down) and exercises that I could not do because of the limits to my range of motion. It was quite "hokey" too; not very professionally done.I'll use it a few more times but imagine that it will go to Goodwill very soon!

Every helpful
Very helpful and easy to follow. It does help to relieve stiffness. I ordered this because I use her / water arthritis video which is remarkable. Not disappointed at all. I am 66 years old with severe arthritis in my back and sholders. I fell spook much better doing this. I will use the inside one more when the weather is cooler and I am not able to use the pool.

Skip this one
This DVD is a very low quality production. The audio is poor, the staging is very amateurish, and the exercises alternated between way too fast and way too slow. I would recommend many other dvds (things like Tai Chi and walking videos) for arthritis before this one.

Just what I needed
If you are already in shape and are looking for six pack abs - don't buy this DVD. If you have some physical limitations and are looking for something you can do, this is the DVD for you. It really helps and the different variations give you the ability to persevere no matter how much pain you have on any particular day. Try it. You'll be glad you did.

An exceptional solution for arthritis pain!
This really alleviates arthritis pain and stiffness. The first workout is so easy that anyone can do it but it is very effective, too... and relaxing. I sleep better with less pain and wake up having more flexibility. The second workout is more challenging but it is also very good.
