Designed specifically for those just starting out with exercise programs - but suitable for all fitness levels - the Absolute Beginners Fitness series contains clear and precise instruction for safe, yet effective, workouts. Utilizing top instructors and proven methods, the Absolute Beginners Fitness series of DVDs are the best way to begin a lifetime of fitness and health. Instructors Jules Benson and Phil Ross make strength training the building block for your fitness future in this lively set of exercises and instruction. Jules and Phil use a series of three segments that will teach you muscle functionality and proper form while giving you the basics of strength training for your arms, legs, and chest for maximum results. An abdominal segment concludes each of the three segments. Segment 1 - Singular Exercise Focus By concentrating on one exercise at a time and moving throughout the entire body, Jules and Phil ensure that your form is maintained and that the efficiency of the workout is maximized. This segment will give you clear instructions on how to incorporate light weights with your exercises. Segment 2 - Supersets and Triple Sets to focus on muscular endurance, this segment has exercises that are done in rapid succession with minimal rest periods. Body parts are grouped together in such a way to tax specific areas, to increase muscular endurance, and to promote overall body symmetry. Segment 3 - Circuit Training the basic exercises from Segment One are done again, this time in rotation with only a very brief rest between the movements to increase the fat burning process, yielding a greater cardiovascular benefit. For the best results - do each segment several times a week for four weeks before moving on to the next, giving your body ample time to adapt to it's new strength training regimen. By following this suggested routine, you will develop better form while getting three months of solid training for a great foundation to move on to even more challenging workouts. Review: Great Starter Set! - These are the perfect starter set for strength training. Very happy with my purchase and have already begun seeing toning results! Review: Workout DVD ok - It was ok. Like a B movie, not as much explanation as I would have liked. Not as many options in the lifts as I would have liked.

Workout DVD ok
It was ok. Like a B movie, not as much explanation as I would have liked. Not as many options in the lifts as I would have liked.

OK but method is dull compared with other videos
OK but not nearly as good as other videos on exercise. Method is OK but dull. Other videos are much better at providing a routine that includes exercise and rest. I have around eight exercise videos and purchased this one to help with variety of exercise. I've been using some of the other videos for over five years and they provide a lot of benefit. Recently I've been trying to find additional videos to add to my rotation.

A Solid Beginner Weight Training Program
Please pay attention to the title of the CD. The program serves a very under-served group of individuals -- beginners in weight training. That does not mean it is lightweight. You can progress through the carefully constructed range of movements, end up more toned, more strong, and lose some weight by following the exercises and levels, than you even thought possible. The CD features a man and woman explaining and demonstrating proper form of each exercise and one of them will do the lifts along with you, while the other coaches or counts. Both legs and arms are covered, with abs at the end. The 2 person team has decent rapport, no phony irritating musak, and a basic setting. You want flashy butt-shaking glitz with cheese on top, go to Richard Simmons! You want the straight scoop, go with Absolute Beginners Fitness.

Great beginner product
This is a very good dvd for learning the proper use of weights for fitness training. Easy step by step instructions though the audio was recorded lower than normal and volume needs to be raised higher. I would recommend this dvd.

Getting Started With Weights
For those who do not have time to go to the gym this is a great way to get started with dumbbell weights. The correct form is demonstrated, and the two individuals have just the right mix of humor and advice to keep you motivated. I would highly recommend this DVD for beginners and those who just need a little motivation to keep going with their weight training.

Home workout
I have a small space to workout and love this video because it doesn't require a great deal of space. I can also use it in my RV when I travel. Great for beginners or someone, like myself, who just wants to modestly increase strength and flexibility.

It's okay. Not as great a workout as I expected.
Should include a few more exercises.

Good for beginners. Received in good time.

I did not want to have to buy extra equipment I just wanted to learn how to use weights. This is so much more than that. You need a bench and all kinds of weights. There is no instructions on what size weights are being used. Would not recommend this for people who have not had weight lifting experience.

Perfect for starting out, they explain and demonstrate everything slowly and easily for beginners.

We use this dvd faithfully 3 days a week. Nothing fancy, but that is what I wanted; just precise instruction on the proper way to use weights. No loud music, or jumping around or hype. I do agree with the other reviews about editing however. I also do not find much difference in any of the 3 workouts either, except more crunches. Wish these 2 trainers had more DVDs on the market. I much prefer their style to the celebrity DVDs I've purchased.
