As I am certainly middle aged and quite overweight I finally decided that I wasn't going to go to a gym or whatever and bought this video. Actually, it was because my daughter said she'd do this one with me and not the other one I fancied. So it's one that can be shared by the generations.
The moves are quite tricky to get first time round but they do become second nature. You can do them in a more energetic manner as you get fitter. I did it regularly for about a month and I did lose a stone, butI was watching what I ate as well.
It is quite fun but like everything you watch over and over you start to notice little things about it. Watch out for Patsy's trousers splitting a little bit and listen out for her swearing at the end of one of the energetic sections. At least she looks as if she needs to do the programme and doesn't make you feel totally hopeless.
It is a cheap way of becoming more active and is generally pretty basic exercise. The one section that I found was a problem was the bit where you are asked to squat and pivot your legs so that your knees face inwards and then outwards. If you wear trainers and exercise in your front room on the carpet this can put quite a strain on your knees. I don't do that bit because I was worried about the effect on my cartilidges, so if you have any knee problems I should watch out for that.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. A good first opinion, nicely laid out and very readable. You could have added a little more information, for example, how long is the tape/workout, how many different exercises etc. Good luck, Paul.
