User questions & answers

Question:	is download possible for this product
Answer:	The box was pretty big, and heavy to boot. I’d estimate 5 feet x 5 feet by 3 feet? I think the weight was 150+ pounds.
Question:	Can the language on the dvds be changed to Spanish
Answer:	They probably sent me defective parts but after about 10 uses it will make a loud ticking noise after every cycle of the elliptical. Not quiet at all.
Question:	Do the reistance bands contain latex
Answer:	At its highest point, the pedals are 17" off the ground. Add that to your height, and a few inches for safety, and thats the ceiling height you will need.
Question:	How long is the video

User questions & answers

Question:	is it high impact or low
Answer:	yes, I mainly got this set for the cardio workout, but the further I advance, the more these moves work on my muscles, toning them. I really am feeling the effects on my abs, (I have a small pooch, from giving birth), and the sides of my thighs
Question:	Does this have an option to work out to music only, without the instruction
Answer:	No not really, I workout in my living room and it's not a huge space maybe 8' x 6' and it's plenty enough room to move about. The Zumba moves typically do not require a lot of space. Hope this is helpful.
Question:	Could any of u please update your reviews to include your age and/or fitness level? From your current reviews I can't tell if this would work for me
Answer:	The only difference between this DVD set, (5 discs), and the larger set, (7 discs), is this "Multi-Small" one is missing the Zumba Concert disc and it also does not contain the "Santao" (chair) workout. If those 2 things don't matter to you, than the smaller set is a better buy. You still get the toning sticks, the workout guide with recipes and diet plans and all of the actual workout discs including the step by step disc for beginners. If you've never done Zumba before, it's a good idea to do the step by step first so you know what to do when using the other workout discs. I have the Multi-Small version because I didn't care about the concert video and when I purchased it, the price difference between the 2 sets was about $70.00. I am very happy with this set. I started out using the game version for the Wii player and grew tired of the game & scoring format. I also wanted to see actual human beings as instructors rather than the colorful shadows used in the game. It's also nice to not have to deal with a remote controller just to excerise.
Question:	What are the songs and artists included on this dvd? are the songs performed by the original artists
Answer:	Until you feel like you've mastered it or are bored with it. Boredom will kill your drive to work out and zumba is totally worth keeping up with! You will see results, promise! Ripped will def tone you and slim you down, I love that DVD. Exhilarate is kinda hard (when I started it, I was like "wth?") & will work your tush off but its fun. I can't do RUSH because I just don't like the teaching style of the girl who leads it. MIX is hard hard hard imo. There are some funky dances in it that i've never seen before. The concert is fun but essentially just Exhilarate live with a few differences/entertainment. If I were you, i'd try Ripped next (it has 2 parts) and see how far you get then add a little more each workout. I'd also intersperse Exhilarate in and do as much as you can until you can do it all. I either stopped when I thought I was going to die at first or would take 2-3 min rests when I needed to. Hope that helps!!

INCLUDES: 2 DVDs + RESISTANCE BAND

BALANCE + STRENGTH provides active adults and seniors the tools needed to help develop an active and healthy lifestyle. ALL exercises are demonstrated both standing and seated in a chair so you can decide which you prefer.

Do you know that aging is associated with a progressive decline in overall muscle strength and loss of lower limb strength leads to an increased risk of falls and a sedentary lifestyle? So, doing balance exercises alone is not the answer.  This senior exercise program was strategically combined to bring you maximum benefits by combining BALANCE + STRENGTH.

Strength training is now widely recommended for older adults to increase muscle mass and strength which typically leads to a more active lifestyle.  For your success and safety, it is so important that you choose a workout where you can go at your own pace.  This program was designed to grow with you and meet you exactly where you are.  Beginners can start off sitting with no resistance, but as you get stronger and intermediate participants can stand and add resistance while doing the exercises. Curtis the instructor, is not only inspiring and encouraging, but he also instructs clearly so these exercises are easy to follow. 

Along with strength training, many doctors recommend doing balance exercises 3 or more days per week. The BALANCE DVD included in this senior exercise combo provides you with 10 express balance workouts so you can do a new balance workout every day.
