I recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to start exercising and may have felt daunted by workout DVDs that are filled with difficult moves.I am 33 years old with severe joint pains and diabetes and this DVD has motivated me to 'move' everyday.

After being a couch potato for a year I ordered this dvd to slowly get back to exercising, it is just the right pace for me right now, really felt good to be moving again, I know this one won't just sit on the shelf,it will be used !! I really like Jane's soft spoken style,I prefer that over the drill sargeant or boot camp method, for me this is exactly what i needed at this stage of my life thanks, Jane

I'm 63, 75lbs overweight & have a ton of musculo-skeletal problems, but this is just too slow for me to do. One mile is a 20-minute mile, the other 18. I've been doing Leslie Sansone workouts for years & I prefer a pace of 4-5 miles per hr with a 12-minute mile my favorite.

I've been struggling for over a year to recover from a serious surgery, and, besides my occupational therapy, this is the first workout I could keep up with, break a sweat with, and not get hurt by. It leaves me feeling invigorated and accomplished. I'm middle aged and have always been fitter than my peers by keeping up a daily regimen that started with Jane 80's. I'm thrilled that Jane is still going strong and has tailored her routines to the abilities of our less able years. Her current series of routines should help me get back to my more active self, which I am so thankful for. Always check with your doctor or physical therapist, first, and modify for your limitations. For instance, I could do everything in this video, except raise my elbows above chin level.

I used to do the original JF Workout when I was a teenager. It helped me really get fit. Not as fit these days, but I still exercise, so I was happy to see these new workout videos. This is definitely a lot easier, I can tell it is safe for my joints, and I have no problem following along--although she did slip a couple of grapevines in there (they were easy ones, so it was ok.) I can fold these new workouts into my routine now, no problem. Thanks again, Jane!
