You've Got to Give it Several Tries!
Some reviews suggest that the moves aren't for beginners - I disagree. If you could do all of the moves right away, what challenge would there be in that? When I first tried the cardio workout, I laughed and imagined my horror if I was trying to do the routine in a gym full of people. These moves aren't overly complicated. Stick with it, and soon your confidence will grow as you are able to do first one move with Kathy and then another. There are easy ways to take the level down during the routine and Kathy points them out. Today I did all but one sequence and know that I'll be doing that last one just as soon as my body finally accepts that it must do my bidding! The cardio workout is low-impact. My 42-year old knees complain a bit but only a bit. Already in decent cardo shape from a year of walking and light weights, I use the 20-minute cardio workout on this DVD as a supplement to my other workouts. The weight and yoga sections of the DVD are also excellent. Kathy is a terrific coach - lovely and upbeat but never grating in a high-pitched cheerleader sort of way. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone just starting back into fitness or as another tool for those days when you want some "extra" calorie burning and heart pumping fun.
