A Rowebik Motion

This new aerobics video features real people who work in the field instead of celebrities. Dr. Bonnie Sorenson offers practical advice for those beginning an exercise program; and Marty Rowe, South Florida's popular aerobics instructor, leads a 70-minute workout that includes a warm-up, low-impact aerobic exercises, a cool-down, strengthening exercises for specific muscles, and, finally, a relaxing stretch. Marty's perky personality and professional attitude are well suited to video. She discusses anatomy, physiology, and the need for self-motivation. She also demonstrates both the right and wrong way to do specific moves. The exercises are easy for a beginner to follow, yet challenging enough for advanced students. State-of-the-art graphics effectively highlight details, and the original music by Thomas L. Nehis is bright and bouncy without being intrusive. Recommended. (Available from: Rowebik, P.O.
