Movie Reviews of Back in Shape

Movie Review: okay for relaxing
Summary: 3 Stars

This video is probably the most basic starter for back pain sufferers. Most of the stretches are really basic ones that I already do. The only difference really is the breathing with the stretch part. Not for anyone looking for an intermediate back stretch or strengthening.

Movie Review: Not so good for the neck though
Summary: 3 Stars

I ordered this hoping to alleviate neck and back pain. Within minutes, the instructor began doing exercises requiring me to lift my neck and pull up into a sit up position which I can not do without considerable pain. Disappointed, I returned it.

Movie Review: Good but a little boring
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a great DVD to strengthen and stretch your back, but I am used to a more fast paced work out. It would probably be beneficial for me to continue with this DVD, but because I felt bored I just couldn't get myself to keep doing it.

Movie Review: Back in Shape
Summary: 3 Stars

It's a good workout for the back. My only cricism is that the DVD could have had more content - only two 15-min. workouts. The user needs to repeat the same half hour to increase the commitment.

Movie Review: Exercise techniques basic, not especially helpful
Summary: 2 Stars

Upon reading the various reviews, I eagerly awaited the DVD with the hope that the exercise regimen would alleviate my longstanding lower back pain. (I also bought an exercise mat.) Regrettably, the 25-30 minute length series of exercises were neither original nor especially useful. Also, and somewhat surprisingly given the options available on DVDs these days, there were no instructions and/or leadership on possible alternative routines. The DVD spends a fair amount of time on breathing and contains little to inspire the viewer to push himself/herself. I'll keep at it -- and, I hope, will find it necessary to revise this review weeks or months from now -- but for now, I have to say it's been a disappointment.
