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.

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.

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 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 was looking for a chair exercise program that I could do at home and at an easy pace.A program that would be geared to the upper and lower limbs for strenghtening and increased mobility.This DVD is right for me at this time.It is well presented and is good for those who require simple, non-strenuous exercise. The instructions are easy to follow, music and tempo just right.Great program for Seniors.

I got this dvd to try to get my elderly mother to move a little more. She is 94, and seems to like doing the exercizes when I sit with her and do them too : ) My siblings thought the instructor a little stiff, but none of the exercizes are too much for my mother, and she doesn't seem to notice anything that bothers her about the production. For the price, I was happy enough with it.

I use this DVD frequently, and I like it. It's very easy to follow and a good stretching workout. I do it standing up for more strenghthening moves. The only thing I don't like is the facial expression of the woman who demonstrates the exercises. She never varies her Cheshire cat grin for the length of the DVD.

In terms of the actual exercises I thought it was quite good. My exercise partner has Parkinson's and was able to do most of the exercises. The demonstrator smiles a lot, but never speaks. There is a separate narrator. I particularly enjoyed the last section of lovely photography combined with a meditation-type atmosphere and positive affitmations.

Good beginner senior or mobility-impaired chair exercise program. I enjoyed the relaxing beach view while following this easy instructional video. Instructor is encouraging and easy to understand.

Pretty boring

Easy to follow and I feel like I have done a reasonable workout when finished
