I feel that it has a well rounded set of stretches and exercises with a nice relaxing cooldown. All are performed from a seated position, which is what I was looking for.Like another reviewer,I purchased this video for a parent. I did the video first to make sure it would be safe for her. Based on the cover,I was afraid that Sunshine might be a hyperperky, high-pitched cheerleader. She is not. Although she does perform every exercise without losing the smile that you see on the cover, she passively narrates the video and I find her voice quite soothing. There are visual cues to remind you to Breathe and a little sun displays when you are on the last exercise of a set (OK, admittedly a little hokey but I think it's useful for elderly or hearing impaired).She does not offer modifications of any of the exercises (so the exerciser needs to be able to do this themselves), but she chooses simple, relatively easy exercises, so I think it was a good decision. For the purpose of this video I think offering modifications might make it choppy and potentially confusing for the target audience (older and/or rehab patients).Slight criticism is that when she does the torso twists, I wish she would pause in the center (right, center, left, center) instead of going directly right and left but that is a modification I will discuss with my Mom.

I just love the Easy Chair Exercise, it is pilates and Calisthenics. It is about 4 minuets warm up, 14 mins. actual workout, with about 7 mins. cooldown, and 5 mins. of relaxation, with credits the entire DVD is a little over 30 mins. It can be done sitting or standing. I prefer sitting. It is a fun exercise. Very easy to do, yet it is a very good workout. Every Part of the body gets a good workout. I have been working out for over 30 yrs, doing walk aerobics, yoga, fit and strong, trim tone and flex, but as I am getting older, I want an easy exercise, and this it. I look forward to doing this exercise every day, It is not too strenuous, and I don't get out of breath.

I bought for my mom years ago. Instruction is easy to follow.

If you don't look at her, the dvd is not bad, but I have great difficulty watching the video because "Sunshine" has this fixed, too white, rigor mortis - like smille on her face ALL of the time! No other expression ever crosses her face. She looks like her face is painted on!The exercises are kind of ok. I have bad knees so can't do floor exercises, and some of the leg exercises are pretty painful, but the upper body ones are way too easy! I don't break a sweat at all, and I'd have to be way out of condition to find them difficult. Even the leg exercises aren't hard. Just make my knee move in ways it doesn't like.

I bought 2 DVDs for my elderly aunt and she is very happy. The Doctor advised her to start exercising, a friend recommended this DVD, I am glad she did, its exactly what my aunty needed. The exercises are very easy to follow along and are doable by her. Sunshine very clearly explains and shows first how the exercise is to be done then she starts doing a set of 10 times of the exercise. Sunshine is always smiling and giving positive cues. Aunt loves the beach setting and likes the music I am glad to have got these DVDs for her. Recommended.

Buy it only if you (1)have a strong tolerance for wasting time with boring exercises that are not very beneficial even for the elderly; the instructor sounds condescending, too (2) you have a strong stomach that can stand watching "Sunshine," who looks as if she fell into a Botox vat and (3) you don't mind seeing a middle aged woman with an 80's peroxide "do" and dressed like 13-year-old cheerleader grinning at you like a Cheshire cat. I really do think her grin stays in the air when she's gone. Oh, and irritating music.Since there is a remote possibility of a tiny bit of benefit for someone other than myself, I don't want to diss it completely. It would be unfair to do so because I couldn't stand to watch more than half of it. If you buy it and get some benefit from it, more power to you.

This reviewer would like to review the exercises on the video, rather than the appearance of Sunshine. I threw this video in for a group of elderly men and women, of varying ages and abilities. For safety, I only like to use sitting exercises, as the group exercising could have falls or injuries trying to do standing exercises, or alternating from standing to sitting. I always remind them they can do more or less repetitions based on their abilities. Sunshine's movements were nice and slow for the elderly crowd, yet still doing the job of improving range of motion which definitely diminishes with age, and lack of use of the limbs. The group exercising to this video also felt it provided enough challenge to their exercise program.Sunshine does mention to breath quite often in the video, which I caught myself needing from time to time. I also noticed the elderly group responding to her reminders to breath.I had no problems with the sound quality of the video, and did not see any participants having any problem with the sound or video quality.This is a simple video, with Sunshine sitting in a chair by the beach. The view doesnt change, nor does her smile. In my opinion, this is a good video to have as part of a collection. Another good exercise video I would recommend, is- Rise Up With Rosie: Joyfulness in Motion. This video is more fun than Sunshine, but may be harder to find.All in all, this video offers good range of motion and strength improvement, with easy to follow exercises. She stays sitting the entire time, for those who want a true "exercise while you sit" video.
