    Finally I found an exercise video I will use. I am 56 years old and beginning a diet and exercise program. I purchased several videos to help me and this is by far the best. Bev Harris motivates and encourages and at the same time is a “real person”. She does a good job explaining what to do and I don’t feel terribly uncoordinated or self conscious while following along. The exercise routine includes warm-up, upper body using light hand weights, aerobic, lower body and cool-down. Many of the exercises can be done from a sitting position if you can’t stand. The other people exercising on the video are real people, not skinny 25 year old models. I would definitely recommend this video.

    I belong to a senior exercise group and we have been using this tape for several years and it is one of our favorites. Not only do you stand, use a chair, you also use weights. Anyone can do these exercies no matter what age group. I wish I could find more tapes or DVDs by Bev Harris.

    This review is from: Yoga for Healthy Knees: What You Need to Know for Pain Prevention and Rehabilitation (Rodmell Press Yoga Shorts) (Paperback)

    Written by a yoga teacher who fixed her own knee pain with the help of yoga, I found this book very easy to use. Here’s a few reasons why I liked it:

    -it’s not too long (its smaller than I pictured, 95 pages, but that was fine with me
    -the idea here is to help your knees out by strengthening what’s weak and loosening what’s tight
    -this is accomplished through yoga poses which you hold for a minute or so
    -there are 3 different sequences of poses depending on your needs (nice)
    -there’s even a short routine for those busy days we all have

    Finding a yoga teacher is suggested, but with all the pictures, descriptions, and sheer straightforwardness of the poses, I don’t feel like it’s a must. In short, this is a good, safe place to start if you have a general knee problem. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for those who suffer from plantar fasciitis.

    My knees already feel better, July 22, 2005

    This review is from: Yoga for Healthy Knees: What You Need to Know for Pain Prevention and Rehabilitation (Rodmell Press Yoga Shorts) (Paperback)

    This book is very useful for those of us with knee problems. Some of the poses presented may be familiar from other sources, but the instructions for doing them are very detailed and supplement information available elsewhere (in the extended triangle pose, for instance). The focus on how your knees specifically are feeling (and should be feeling) in each pose is great. I also like the model this book uses; she looks like a regular person who has become flexible through consistent practice, not like some Olympic gymnast that you could never hope your efforts to match. I’ve been doing about 7 of these poses a day for about a week, and my knee pain has already lessened. Yoga is the best! This book is a bargain.
