Certified instructor description: The strengthening segment has both standing and seated routines. The heart-focused cardio includes easy-to-follow aerobics plus balance-enhancing activities. You’re sure to be motivated by the friendly, non-intimidating attitude and the energizing swing and big band music (e.g. “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “Fly Me to the Moon”). The toning focuses on improving strength for everyday activities. The cardio is varied and fun — from marches and taps to simple dance steps (e.g. cha chas, mambos). Designed for safety, easier modifications are always shown. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a pillow or small ball. ©2005. DVD has: Chapter menus.

FiTime: Strength & Cardio

A Few Problems

This could have been a good dvd if they would have actually done the whole 18 minute cardio, but they stop after a few minutes and do some balance exercises where you barely move and are very ineffective for me. The cardio is short, and I knew it would be, but did not know it wasn't a full 18 min, at least. Really like Josie and Joy's personality though. - posted by SAF on 11/9/2011

Just what I was looking for

I love this workout! The pace is just right for my 50 year old body. It has everything I want - strength, cardio and stretching - and all at the right amount. Every time I finish this workout I think "I love this!" The instructors are fun and work together well. And I love the music! I hope they make more! - posted by Susan on 9/8/2009

So Nice

I disagree with boring, I use this routine for my senior clients all the time and they love it. The intructors cue very nicely and they are so cute and having fun, it is a joy to workout with them. I only wish the cardio segment was a little longer, maybe they will make just a cardio video? - posted by vicki on 3/3/2009

Boring!

This a boring video--boring music, instructors and routine altogether. If this was my first and only exposure to beginning workouts, I'd be discouraged by the lack of enthusiasm and by the boredom factor. - posted by Michelle on 12/17/2005

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Seated Exercises

Workouts especially created for anyone who prefers to work out while seated. They may include all three basic exercise types: aerobics, toning and stretch.
