  • I just did this and really enjoyed the workout. Question to those that have done this prior, do you see good results? - 5/6/2013 8:12:21 PM
  • I've been thinking it was time to move up to higher weights because some of my arm workouts are getting too easy... boy, I'm glad I tried a new workout, first! I had to back down to a smaller weight for this one--way to go, working it out! THANKS!! - 5/6/2013 6:52:32 PM
  • This is a great workout! I recently had some physical therapy sessions for a rotator cuff strain in my right shoulder, and these exercises are perfect for building my strength back up with small hand weights. - 5/4/2013 8:55:39 AM

  • My favorite. It's better to do something than nothing!!! - 4/30/2013 8:37:01 PM
  • This is do-able!
    Too much for me at the moment but some of this went really well and I got tired and ached so stopped and watched.
    This is going to be a goal - to do the whole thing and I think it will be good for me AND weight loss too.
    Felt safe sitting, have ideal chair and no balance problems so was able to devote my attention to the evercise - wonderful! Thank you. - 4/30/2013 5:23:27 PM
