Jodi Stolove's Chair Dancing Around the World

I love Amazon. I have been a prime member for 3 years and buy almost everything here. The customer reviews are so honest that I always review them when considering a new product for purchase. It is a testament to this great exercise video that this is my very first review for any product on any website.A few months ago I was diagnosed with severe (bone on bone) arthritis and told that complete knee replacements were in my future. The doctor said the only exercise I could do was water or biking. I had so much knee pain that I had instinctively restricted myself to water about a year ago. I went to water classes faithfully 2-5 times per week. Unfortunately, I burned out on it around the time of my diagnosis. The prep/recovery time (pack your bag, locker room, change, class, shower, wash chlorine out of my hair, change again, etc...) became too much. My stationary bike is fine, but boring, so I decided to turn to my favorite online retailer for another option.I checked out all of the chair exercises Amazon had to offer and decided on this one. It had great reviews and the lady pictured in the lavender unitard seemed festive. I did the video for the first time last night and it was so much fun! Yes, the workout clothes and hairstyles are out-dated and the music is just a step above muzak, but there is a spirit of fun about the group that had me moving in my chair and shaking my plates with abandon. I am up early to do it again today before church. I highly recommend this video if you have knee pain or lower mobility problems.

This is a fun work out. It really moves all parts of your body. I would recommend it to anybody.

When I scheduled foot surgery that would keep me on crutches for 6 weeks, I started looking around for exercise videos that I could comfortably do. I started with Jodi's first video and then bought Chair Dancing Around the World. The video is very well done. It moves along nicely. I found right from the beginning that I could work at my own level and still receive wonderful benefit from the exercise. It feels so good to move with the music after having to spend most of my day off my feet. I really love the variety of "dances" that Jodi does on this video. I am going to recommend Jodi's videos to my surgeon for his other patients that go through any surgery that limits their mobility for a period of time. Even though I will be walking again after six weeks, I will continue with this video for a long time.

We use this at church for a community chair exercise class. Everyone loves it. It’s very versatile with three activity levels modeled on the dvd, and is just plain fun.

We like Jodi Stolove’s chair dance dvds. They are paced for a good workout for seniors. Though chairs can be used, we do many of the routines standing. This adds more challenge.

I bought this for my 88 and 89 year old parents. I did it with them and I liked it, but it was too fast for them. Even though they did have different levels being shown throughout, I think I’d you could focus on either the lower level, medium level or high level it might have been easier for them.

the whole dvd goes too fast. I wish there was a way to slow it down.

I did not like this one as well as her other one I have, but it is probably good for some older adults, I have exercised all my life using walking tapes and weights so I was disappointed in this one, I tried it because I have a tendon in my foot that is not letting me do my other tapes without pain, so I was trying this to keep up my exercises while it heals. Lots of movement for older adults just not what I enjoy doing.
