Terrific video
This is a wonderful video for the over-40 market as well as for anyone who is just entering the world of aerobics. No equipment is required, and the music is great! Mirabai Holland's routine is eminently do-able, even for the inexperienced. It's easy to follow and well-cued, and she is enthusiastic throughout. Perhaps this should be called "non-threatening aerobics." Ms. Holland also explains the value of aerobics and provides valuable information on heart rate and the importance of warm-up and cool-down. I also really liked the fact that it was one-on-one - no intimidating models to distract me or make me feel uncoordinated. Just a private session between me and Mirabai Holland.

No to Fabulous Forever!
Of the three beginner-level aerobic exercise videos I recently purchased (the other two were Startin' Simple Easy Aerobics and Denise Austin's Xtralite) this was clearly the worst. I suppose people who have never exercised could learn from the informational portion of the tape. That is, if they can abide watching a grown woman in a fairy costume trying to sound credible. The exercises are okay -- but the presentation is boring. I would rather watch a class or at least a leader with a few other people following the exercises. And Mirabai Holland, though knowledgable, is not lively enough to keep me motivated through a half-hour workout. I do not recommend this video.

On my way to better health
I'm 52, and I DON'T like to exercise, but I know how important aerobic exercise is for my health. So I decided to get some help, and I found Mirabai's easy aerobics video. She really does make aerobics easy, and she has so much fun while she's doing it, I couldn't help but enjoy following along with her routine. I was surprised at how quickly the time passed. I would definitely recommend this video for anyone looking for an easy-to-do, low-impact aerobic workout. Believe me, you'll feel accomplished when you're finished.

This video routine was particularly helpful to me. It is targeted to those of us who either don't exercise enough or just don't want to deal with the hyped atmosphere of some of the health clubs.
I found it easy to follow, set in a pleasing environment and very well put together. Mirabai Holland makes you feel like you CAN DO THIS! It is a routine that is well organized, stretches you out and leaves you feeling energized.

Probably at the top of everyone's New Year's Resolutions is to get into shape - to find an exercise routine - and this year, STICK WITH IT! I finally found the one that works for me.
In the pre-exercise part, Mirabai Holland tells you what aerobics does for your body and how you can customize the workout for yourself. The routine is simple to follow (with an easy music background)and continually adds on to what you've mastered. Mirabai offers gentle encouragement throughout and by the time you get to the end, you've worked your heart rate up to your target rate.
A feature I especially appreciated was the close-ups of exactly how to position your body during the cool-down stretch at the end as well as the explanation of why it is so important to do the cool-down.
There's even a delightful "Fitness Fairy" to convince you that working out is a lifestyle choice that will keep you looking and feeling your best whatever your age.
This video is a great mood elevator for the dark, cold days of winter when you are forced to spend more time indoors.
