Prevention Fitness Systems - Get Moving [DVD]

I love this dvd. I originally borrowed the dvd from the library to make sure I'd want to stick to the routines. Turns out, I liked it so much that I wanted my own, personal copy. I typically do the walking and yoga workouts, but the strength training exercises are really good too. It just shows that I need to tighten those core muscles more :) The 10 minutes of yoga was a little challenging at first for some of the poses (I had never done yoga before), but it gets much easier as I continued with the routine for a few days. For the upper and lower body strength exercises, if you don't have light weights at home, use a full bottle of shampoo or a can of vegetables. You can choose a component of the dvd, like just 10 minutes of yoga or just 15 minutes of walking, or you can opt for a pre-loaded 20 or 30 minute workout, or do all of the components, which is about 60 mintues. It's low impact, so it's good for people of any age, but it gets your heart-rate up and you're sweating by the end, so you know you're getting a good workout. For those who are just starting to get moving again, this is a great way to re-introduce you to exercise in a fun way.

I am over 50, and had not exercised regularly in about 13 years. I became 35 lbs. overweight, and had developed all kinds of aches and pains. I purchased this one, also the Prevention 3-2-1 Prevention Fitness Systems: 3-2-1 Workout and Perfect in 10 Stretch Perfect in Ten: Stretch - 10-minute workouts. I have used at least one of these almost daily for about 4 weeks now, and I feel so great I wonder why I stopped exercisng in the first place! I think Get Moving is great for beginners or even more advanced exercisers who need to rest and recover for a day or two. The cardio portion really is low impact, but will get you sweating nonetheless. You can increase the intensity if you concentrate on picking your feet up as high as you can and keeping your abs tight. Chris Freytag is energetic and encouraging, yet I don't find her obnoxious at 5:30 a.m. when I'm wondering why I'm not still in bed hitting the snooze button. Because of the way this is broken up into segments, it's easy to tailor your workout for the time you have available. I find this dvd very engaging, and before I know it, I have gotten in a good workout to start my day.

This is a great beginning to getting fit. The routines work all muscles groups effectively. I noticed an improvement in muscle tone in two weeks. I had been walking on a treadmill and moved to this routine to tone up my abs, something the treadmill was not doing. My overal health and fitness has been quickly improved by doing the routines on this DVD. As many people mentioned, Chris Freytag is pleasant to listen to and follow. There is, of course, a learning curve in doing anything new. I found these routines very easy to learn.

Definitely not my favorite workout. I've done better ones with Chris Freytag.

I have to have a light aerobic tape and this is a good one. The low impact cardio is similiar to Leslie Sansone but without the obnoxious chatter. I loved the upper and lower body workouts as they have short reps on each exercise - each segment is only 8 minutes long. I wish I could create my own workout and play it, like in Denise Austin's latest walk DVD. Instead I have to play each segment, go back and pick out what I want next from the menu and then play it, or I can just pick the "play all" choice. Highly recommended to the beginner!

I am not fond of Prevention Workouts because I HATE the set they use. I am a very visual person so while I am working out I like looking a nice set, nice colors etc...lol! Prevention really needs to update the set they have, I'm just sayinnnn! Anyway, this DVD is one that I really like! It gets your heart rate up (Beginner/Beginner Intermediate) and yet keeps you totally engaged! Glad I bought this one and will be using it often!

Great DVD. Good beginning exercise format. She explains each step. The yoga is hard for me but..so many options on this DVD..I can choose whatever I want. Belly Butts and Thighs..my favorite..but this one is a good follow-up. 321 was too fast and hard for me. If you need a paced program..this is the one.

All her dvds seem to skip a great deal. New ones should not do that. Not worth the time and/or money
