Going Going Gone!

Honey, she shrunk herself. The “she” here is instructor Shannon Holand, who shrunk her fat-zone by about 60 pounds, as viewers will see in this unique time-lapse exercise program designed for the “aerobically challenged” overweight and out of shape person who isn't hard-body-ready to take on the likes of Denise Austin or Tamilee Webb. Holand's motivational program is designed to help very-beginner-level folks with the encouragement they need to stick with an exercise program. Using an adjustable step prop (and a BIG fan!), Holand takes viewers through a warm up, a complete step routine and cool-down, and a segment on stretching, before wrapping up with a guided affirmation/relaxation section. Although the video production quality is fairly rudimentary, viewers will appreciate the down-to-earth attitude of a woman who's been there, done that, and is now doing it for herself! Recommended.
