Before beginning her steady workouts, Idrea weighed 242 lbs. Since embarking on a low-impact aerobics program, she has lost over 70 lbs. With some 30 million women in the U.S. affected by the problem of obesity, Idrea decided to share her program with other women facing similar weight-loss struggles. The result is this inspirational and high-spirited guide to low-impact aerobics. Following the basic exercise format, Idrea leads a class through a warm-up, low-impact aerobics exercise, and cool down session. In addition, she instructs students in the importance of "floor work" for additional attention to those problem areas of hips and thighs. This is not an overly produced exercise tape featuring slim and trim robots with painted-on smiles. On the contrary, these are big women, led by a big woman with a big heart. Regardless of size, most will find this a fun, non-threatening, exercise session, with a leader who exudes confidence and camaraderie. Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
