    LOVE THIS VIDEO! I am VERY overweight and I feel like I am not even in shape enough to do most exercises. This video is making it very easy for me to get into better shape so I can start on new videos :-) I am only on day 3 and it is already getting easier!! - 5/20/2013 12:24:14 AM

    Thanks Coach Nicole for this great routine! I love the chair routines as I have several disabilities that prevent me from other forms of land exercises and this one is great!!

    Had a really good workout...Thank you Coach Nicole, this really helped me because I can't stand long because of neurapathy in my feet and my knees are very bad too. I am a recent cancer survivor so I really want to get some strength back. Thanks again!! - 5/7/2013 6:55:35 PM

    I am an very obese person and exercise is very hard on me and i just wanted to say thanks for this video! I actually found that i can do this several times a day along with the walking and bike. - 5/7/2013 3:44:43 PM

    Great workout! I appreciate a choice where I can get my heart rate up when I can't get out and walk, but that doesn't involve any bending - I have issues with vertigo. - 5/6/2013 10:23:52 AM

    Great cardio! I was really surprised! This is the second time I've done this video and I am impressed. The first time was mostly learning the movements, as I am not a natural swan ;) I was a little leery about the cardio benefits, even the first time through. However, I realized the I was probably too busy learning than actually doing on my first try. The second time through has made me a believer. - 5/4/2013 3:08:33 PM

    I work from home, which still doesn't necessarily mean you have time to get up and work out. This is great for me for a quick 10-min work out between assignments/calls

    I started doing this for a 10 minute break at my desk in the morning at work. Fortunately, I'm in the back of the office in a corner so I can really go at it! It gets me pumped for the day and can't wait to do my evening workout to continue what I started. Who'd of thought you could get a workout sitting down! - 4/29/2013 9:34:25 AM
