Must admit I am not an exerciser by trade, but came across this video nearly a decade ago after giving birth to my first child. Started using the video every day and found that I liked it -- a lot. When I went on vacation, I would even take a mini-cassette recorder and just record the instructor's voice and still be able to do the exercises while on vacation. That's how simple it is. I stopped using it several years ago, but it still lingered in my mind as one of my favorites. The warm-up I would use prior to going to the gym. Well, my daughters ran across the tape one day and got together in their video room to do the exercises. The next session, they asked me to join them. Once again, I am hooked on it. It's quick, effective and easy. And with my pudgy belly, it won't hurt a thing.
