Movie Reviews of You: Staying Young Workout
Movie Review: Very convenient for anyone who wants to get in shape or improve his / her athletic performance
Summary: 5 Stars
Joel Harper and his partner clearly demonstrate two short all body workouts without any instruments that you can do at home, outdoors or in a gym. The workouts are for beginner and advanced levels. Not only do the programs cover most muscles in the body but they also give them different types of workouts : 1 ) isotonic strength exercise ( dynamic ) 2 ) isometric strength exercise ( static ) 3 ) stretching. Joel Harper particulary emphasizes the importance of correct breathing during the exercises and keeps on reminding it. Even the beginner level can be made advanced by increasing the number of repetitions. I have been doing various kinds of sports for years and have incorporated Joel Harper's workouts into my program. I disagree that they are too easy. If you are an absolute beginner do the same exercises slowly with a low number of repetitions. As you advance just increase the number of reps and it is no longer beginner level. Even the best performing athletes can benefit from these two programs by increasing the number of reps to their levels of fitness. That's what I did.
In the DVD all exercises have written names, so it is possible to write down a program and do it without watching the DVD as you exercise. That's what I do because I prefer to do them in a gym not at home, also I do the exercises longer with more reps than in the DVD. I recommend that you watch the DVD several times before you do the exercises. Some reviewers have complained that as they exercise the DVD moves into another exercise too quickly so they can not keep up. Who told them to try to do the exercises while watching the DVD for the first time ? You won't have keeping up problems if you watch it several times before doing them. In fact if you write a program with the names of the exercises and watch the DVD several times in advance you can do them anywhere without putting on the DVD.
Even though I swim, play tennis, treadmill, stretch and lift weights regularly I still get a good workout from Joel Harper's programs. In fact it has contributed to the variety that I needed in my exercise routine. Doing the same kind of exercises every week gets boring and muscular development slows. Variety is necessary in any workout program to prevent boredom and shock the muscles so that they don't get stale with the same routine. Joel Harper's programs have helped me in this aspect when I combined them with the other kinds of sports I do. Moreover, by contributing to my fitness they helped me improve my performance in the other types of workouts.
If I feel tired I can make the programs easier by just decreasing the number of reps. The programs are convenient for busy people because they are short, about 20 to 25 minutes. If you have the time and the level of fitness necessary you can inrease the duration to about an hour by increasing the number of reps.
The Chi- Gong program by Karl Romain, the Kung Fu world champion also in this DVD is interesting but I have not applied it yet.
If you are interested in more detailed and advanced exercises I recommend the Fitpack DVD by Joel Harper as well. I purchased it after this one. The exercise program in the Staying Young and Fitpack DVDs are different so you will not be purchasing the same programs twice. The latter has 9 different programs on two discs running 170 minutes. Many men, women and children demonstrate the various programs with Joel at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels at the same time. One of the programs is a full body workout, the others are shoulder, legs, abs, back and cardio programs. They are longer and more detailed than in this DVD but different. You can combine the various programs in different ways and provide the variety that your body needs in workouts.
