   Helpful information presented by an exercise model who has an unchanging plastic (frozen) smile on her face.

   The exercises were “just ok” but the main problem with the video was the fact that “Sunshine” looked just like a mannequin or possibly someone with a face super imposed over the actual face. I found myself so caught up in watching for some type of facial expression while doing just routine exercise While working with Seniors and sometimes nursing home patients the video gave nothing other than routine. The background scenery was great however. I would not recommend this particular video.

   The excercises were mostly very doable for me. The core muscles are hard to maintain since I’m wheelchair bound any more. It was a nice change from my range of movement program Sunshine was very wooden faced and not inspiring to watch beveltorc

   I second the entire review by beanbug (“Low production values but good exercises”). I would have said it was cheesy, but my 91-yr-old grandmother with dementia and balance problems seems to like it. More importantly, it keeps her attention for the entire half hour because she can follow it and do the exercises. It moves at a good pace for her–not too fast, not too slow. My grandfather, who is in much better shape, has gotten engaged by it, too. They both even like the >5 min relaxation/breathing sequence at the end which has clips of nature scenes. I thought they might prefer an instructor who was more like them, but the young, fit, ALWAYS-smiling Sunshine worked just fine.

   The video I received has two stretching exercises that are on the floor. Since that would be too difficult, I got my grandmother to do those sitting down and moving her upper body instead. That wasn’t something she could have figured out on her own, and I wish this alternative would have been mentioned. On the other hand, giving alternatives would have added complexity to the instructions, which are deliberately (and thankfully) very short and simple. Also, there is no transition time given to go from the sitting to standing exercises either, so she always misses the first standing exercise (deep knee bends, which are too hard for her anyway).

   The bottom line is that I wanted something to get my grandmother moving. I chose this video based on the other reviews here at Amazon and am quite pleased with my selection.

   Excellent exercises DVD for seniors very enjoyable, informative, beautiful to watch nicely filmed on a sunny beach with beautiful music.
   
   The tutor is always smiling and giving positive enforcement. She makes it very easy for me to follow along because she first shows what to do then she does the exercise 10 times.
   
   The DVD has 2 parts the first part has exercises that are done either sitting or standing, and the 2nd part of the exercises for the legs are done standing, I hold a chair in some of the exercises for added balance.
   
   I recommend this to anyone that wants to do easy exercises.
