Search doesn't seem to be working so I thought I'd just ask:

What does everyone think about Lee Holden's mother's DVD'S (there are 5)?

I traded for a couple of them to give to my sister when she began losing stamina, and tried them both. IIRC, they were Stand Up and Stretch, and Full Body Shape Up. Very gentle, but I liked them. I remember thinking on one of them that my sister's knees would not be happy with some of the moves. They have a nice variety in a beautiful setting.

Unfortunately, my sister never touched them. I would have taken them back, but she gave them away or threw them out.

ETA: JustSandra reviewed them for us: http://www.videofitness.com/reviewsd...st.php?id=1340

Thanks, Pat and Penny, for your thoughts on these and JustSandra for the review! I ordered all 5 of her DVD's and am looking forward to trying them.

Please come back and report! I have tossed around the idea of getting them myself.

Hi! Glad my review was helpful.

I have to admit I no longer own these -- they were too easy, at least for me right now. I do think they would be excellent for newbies or for someone recovering from a serious illness or surgery. That said, I tried lending a couple of them to an older friend who had had hip replacement surgery. Many months later she returned them, admitting she "never got around to doing them." Guess not everyone is cut out to be a videot LOL!

I'm 71 and have some kind of neuromuscular problem that mostly affects my legs so I like to do both easy workouts and also strength workouts like Cathe. Karen sounds great for easy days! I'm always amazed at women who won't even try DVD's. I often wonder what they think they are.

Thanks again for your review!

I got the DVD'S yesterday and did the sitting Stretches one this morning. I liked it! It was gentle but not too much so. But I'm not sure how often I'll do it since it's a little long (35ish minutes). I have several nice 10-minute stretches so I'm more likely to do one of those when I don't have much time.
