I did the full body workout today and enjoyed it. Since I didn't buy the warmup from Amazon Video, I did the warmup from this Crossbell workout on Youtube.
I used 15 pound and 20 pound dumbbells and a 65 pound barbell for the deadlifts. (I think the whole workout can be done with a barbell.) I'm definitely going to buy the DVD. I'm really glad to see a workout for older people who are *not* new to exercise, but rather have to slow down and focus on good form on every rep instead of going to failure. Too many "senior" workouts treat them like idiots.

Reviving a slightly old thread (but hey, the workout is still on Mary's "New" page) to say I am really liking this one. I've only done the Total Body (weights) segment, with the w/u and c/d, and it's a great full-body workout in a half hour (39 min with w/u and c/d). As others have said, it is slow enough to go heavy - I used up to 25 lb dumbbells.
As a bonus, even though the instructor is quiet and sane, my grandson likes him! The Gladiator thing apparently gives him street cred with the 8-year-old crowd.

Yes, what Laura said. It's not a deal breaker, but I prefer Cathe's more gender neutral approach, such as "I'm using 10 pounds for this exercise, you use what's right for you."
