"The two workouts are really decent. The first one gets you into working out if you haven't or it's a good workout for someone who has limited abilities (or age). The second workout pumps you up a little harder. I think both of the exercise routines are less than 20 minutes. The moves are easy to remember and for some of the warmout moves or stretches I find myself doing them when I have a few minutes on my hands or I'm waiting somewhere.
The chi gong routine is great. I would have liked more of it. It really does boost your energy and I feel extremely at peace and joyful when I finish it.
With all workouts and basically anything in life - you get out of it, what you put into it."
Do-able

"Finally something I can learn to do...chi gong. I tried TaiChi and couldn't get it...this works for me and it is something I will do every morning. Quick, easy and effective. Love it."
So worth getting!

"I really love Joel's workouts! You hit all the majors and the core in 20 minutes or less, you need no equipment and very little space. Level 2 on this is under 20min. and you will still break a sweat! Joel has a warm, friendly presence, not at all intimidating. Another winner."
Great for beginners

"The YOU Staying Young workout is great for those of us who are beginners. I am not in very good shape and do not exercise consistently but I found I could do the exercises on this DVD easily. It might not be challenging enough for those that exercise daily."
This dvd is great

"My friend and I really enjoy this dvd as we are both a bit older and not as flexible as we once were. This feels good to do but is not complicated and I have not quit doing the workout. Helps my balance and feels great."
