Certified instructor description: A thorough program designed for anyone just beginning an exercise regimen. It features basic exercises, a friendly instructor and lots of workout length options (the DVD lets you do the entire sequence or select pre-programmed 20 or 30-minute workouts for your extra-busy days). Chris Freytag’s walking-based cardio is super-easy-to-follow — simple marches, step-touches and knee-ups. Then, each eight-minute toning segment isolates a specific body part — you can target your upper body, lower body or abs/core. The ending stretch portion reduces stress and builds flexibility with a series of smooth-flowing, non-intimidating yoga poses. The DVD also includes a short nutritional information segment. Note: the video is based on the best-selling book “The Sugar Solution.” The Workout requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells. ©2006. DVD has: 12 premixes (11 to 32-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Music only option, Region 1.

Sent it back
I have been exercising for 7 years and do a combination of aerobics and strength building exercises but these workouts I did not care for. - posted by Dotty on 7/21/2011
great work out
I am 65 yrs. old and I am doing real well with this work out. I have asthma and it does not bother me to do this tape. I can not make it through the whole work out yet, but am doing better every day. - posted by Sandie on 11/4/2010
Love it!
I am a beginner exerciser and love Prevention Magazine so when I saw that this workout was labeled "Beginner" I had to get it. So I've been doing these workouts for about a month and I still love them. I had to work on making it through the whole cardio segment but I can make it through to the end now. And I started with a little amount of weight for the upper body portion and no weights for my lower body (as shown). And it was all really tough to do. My goal is to add more weights to the upper body segment and add some weight to the lower body segment. The core segment was really difficult for me at times but my abs are now stronger than before I started this program. I am so happy that I chose to get this one and it has really helped with my fitness ability. I also loved Chris Fregtag. She is very encouraging and cues very well. I have no regrets with this workout. - posted by Emily on 3/14/2010
Not just for beginners!
I recently got this workout to help build my stamina and endurance back up after being down for a few months plus the rehab after knee surgery. I went from Low Advanced to Beginner in level and wanted to start back to fitness without killing myself, but feeling great afterwards. I also wanted a Beginner Level workout without constant breakdowns as I beyond needed this, but need the lower intensity beginners benefit from. Being 27, I don't want to hurt my body anymore and this one, along with most other Prevention DVDs, helps a lot! Also having joint issues in my hips from an accident, functional fitness is a must instead of beating myself up to prove my strength and stamina. The cardio is good and is straight forward. Not to much impact but what there is you can take out or even add to if you want more/less intensity. There is some TIFTing as you have 3 "combos" and you combine them all add-on style. The strength segments would be perfect for beginners as they are not too fast and help you to learn good form. Being that I already know these things, not only did I heavy up on weights, I also started the movement early and added more reps during explanation segments. This too helped to increase the intensity as well as maximized my workout time to suite my needs and goals. The stretch segments are really good especially for those of us with hip/knee joint issues as a few are what I have learned in Physical Therapy, just hold them longer and it really does help hip and knee stiffness. A chair is used, but a balance bar would work during the lunges if needed. During the stretch a chair is also used, but the edge of the couch cusion works just fine. - posted by Julia on 7/31/2009
It does it all.
I agree with most of the posters here, this is wonderful beginner workout. I really enjoyed the cardio section. As a Leslie Sansone fan, I prefer low impact workouts and I very much enjoyed the moves Chris used in this workout. Not dancy, but not the same old thing either. I think the strength training portions will give the beginner a good foundation they can build on. The yoga portion was very relaxing, and yet challenging...I don't know much about yoga, so I was wobbling a bit, but the breathing techniques made me feel great. Chris is so motivating without being cheerleader like and she knows how to cue. I like the people working out with her and the set looked nice. The only thing I would have different was putting the cool down after the aerobic section when selecting the entire workout segment. Of course you can pick and choose what to do when...so not a real problem. All in all, its well worth the money. I've been exercising for years, but have gotten out of the habit lately, this is motivating me to get back to it. Thank you Chris, Collage and Prevention!! - posted by Barbara on 3/22/2009
Pretty Good
I really liked the toning segments in this workout. I just add more weights to challenge myself. I guess I could use the rather short cardio portion of the workout as a warm up. The cardio section is defiantly for beginners. I think that Chris Freytag did a great job for people who are beginning to exercise. But I think, as an intermediate to advanced exerciser, I will prefer to do this workout for a body toning day. I do think that many other people will enjoy this workout, but for me I know of other workouts that are better suited to my needs. - posted by Emily on 2/22/2009
Wonderful Warm Up
I use this alot for warm up to more intense workouts. It's definately beginner so I don't do it by itself, but it's cute and I love Chris. Warm up with this 15 minutes, then go to my intense cardio for 40 minutes. It rounds out the day. - posted by Patty on 8/1/2008
A Must Have For Beginners!
I love the energy Chris has as well as her precise instructions! With other exercise videos I've felt frustrated because of not getting enough instructional lead time. Chris does a great job and I highly recommend this video to any one seriously wanting to get fit! - posted by Joyce on 2/8/2008

Awesome
I love the fact that this is for people who are first timers, beginners who need to get off the couch and get moving. And its great. Its got a little bit of everything! Chris Freytag is a friendly instructor. She is positive, teaches you the proper form and isn't off step like Denise Austin. - posted by Sarah on 4/12/2007
Wonderful Instructor
I am a beginner to exercise (I have about 50 pounds to loose) and I realize that this workout is geared towards beginners like myself. But I really didn't care for the cardio portion of this workout. I barley broke a sweat and my heart rate stayed steady the whole time. I didn't even think it was a fun routine. But that doesn't mean that the instructor was bad. I love Chris F. and I love all of her workouts. Now, what I did like about this workout was the toning segments. I could feel the burn in my lower body, the upper body and my abs. I also like the 10 min. yoga section and I am not even a yoga fan. So I have a 50/50 feeling about this workout, great for toning not so great for cardio. - posted by Emily on 3/20/2007

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
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
X
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
X
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
X
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.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
