Happy Customer.......2007-04-04

I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease years ago. I have had flare ups of back pain that kept me from life and work. I have always dealt with stiffness and discomfort. It was a common occurrance to have pain when I'd bend forward and when I first got up in the morning. I am in week 3 of this program and I have been feeling much better. I have a lot less discomfort than when I began this program. This program is very relaxing at first, then gradually steps it up in intensity. I was very skeptical and afraid of hurting myself more by doing this program. Needless to say my fears were for nothing. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a gentle, relaxing way to reduce or eliminate their back discomfort. I can hardly wait to get home every day so that I can "do" my exercises. Thank you Dr. Melleby!

Great straight-foward tests & exercises to erase back pain.......2006-09-28

Back pain is mostly due to poor or little muscle use on a daily basis. Weak abs make your back work harder, poor posture puts strain. This course was done with over 1,000 people in the YMCA in the 1980s. Over 80% were pain free within 6 weeks. Only 2 % got worse & 5% felt no difference.
This comes with a nice booklet with many b&w photos so once you are used to it, you don't have to go through the dvd to get what you are looking for.
This is done on a stage with Dr. Alexander Melleby, M.S. teaching with 2 women in leotards & 2 men in shorts & tube socks demonstrating.
This was redone in 2005 for dvd with many chapters for the intro, who Dr. Melleby is, the reserach, the Kraus, M.D. study, what causes back pain, the YMCA study, self-evaluation, the 6 Kraus-Webber tests & 3 chapters for each of the 2 weeks of the 6 week program.

We Call It the Miracle.......2006-09-27

In our household, we call this the "miracle video". We've been using this video for as long as I can remember - maybe 20 years or so. We have it in VHS and I'm going to get it in DVD. I bought two VHS copies because I was so worried that something would happen to just one and didn't ever want to be without it! It seems so simple and obvious - and yet the gentle, systematic program that builds so sensibly and gently over time is just the best ever. Having had quite a few episodes of back problems - from acute to moderate - over the years, I can speak from experience with this video. It has been a lifesaver many times over. It is excellent and wise.

Been using this program for 20 years.......2006-09-26

I have a L5-S1 herniated disc. This is the program recommended to me by my orthopedist. It's worked for me. I've only had minor flare ups every 3-4 years. Check with your doctor before using.

A gentle, effective program to relieve back pain.......2006-03-08

I'm recovering from being disabled with back pain, and have been amazed to find a program that starts so easily and gently that I can do it without discomfort. It builds very logically --it's a six week program, and you stick with the easiest movements for two weeks before adding difficulty. It utilizes breathing, relaxation, and very simple movements. The dvd case reads "This program is the result of the pioneering work of Hans Kraus, M.D., creator of the exercise system prsented by the YMCA as "The Y's Way to a Healthy Back", and the instructor on the DVD,Alexander Melleby, is National Director and Chief Instructor for the YMCA program. I should also mention that the tape starts with tips on good habits for sitting, lifting, etc, in order to avoid back injury.

stop back pain now.......2006-01-12

I checked this out at the library and the second time that I did the exercises I felt a difference, as though the coffee was perculating again. Stiffness and pain in my joints have become less. At first I wasn't able to do some of the exercises, but now I have much more mobility. I ordered this on DVD, one for my daughter and one for me.

A medical lecture that wasn't boring!.......2006-01-06

I'm a massage therapist & rented this to learn more & also for my mother who has a car accident in the past.
The recommendations for getting in/out of the car, picking things up, bending down, loading the diswasher, pilllow/sleeping use, getting ready in the morning when using using the mirror, using the computer, phone, grabbing things, back supports & slings, etc., was great. They used great actors & props to show the incorrect & correct ways.
The exercises & stretches were very basic, though some may be advanced. You should always listen to your body, if it hurts, see if you can modify it, if it still hurts, don't do it & try other stretches & exercises.
The point of this DVD is that it's the little things that make chronic neck & backaches hurt, not that one-time bend.
The exercises & stretches is to remind people that it's because your back is WEAK that it hurts, not from overuse, just incorrect use. You will never get better if you never stretch or exercise daily with careful awareness of what you are doing, not going too far & knowing different days you will be able to go more advanced & other days you will not be able to do as well as you had & that's ok.
Of course, for anyone with an injury from a car accident, your pain is not chronic, but it can get better with stretching & exercising. There are a lot more ways to stretch then what was shown here, I wish there were more.
I was surprised she showed how to do crunches. Making the abs stronger is important, but there are better ways to strengthen your abs without using your neck like that.
After the exercises, there is even a lengthy meditation/stress reduction tutorial.
I have never had a backache for more then a few hours or a day in which case I immediately stretch, but then again, I have been doing yoga for many years.
I agree this DVD reminded me of old VHS lectures in it's style, but it was clear & does have the option of 5.1 dolby.

Be careful if you have had surgery.......2005-11-14

I bought this DVD based on the review from the person who claimed to have had miracles after 5 back surgeries and being in traction. My word .. if that does not inpsire you, what would? Sadly, I followed the recommendations to do the exercises daily for 4 - 6 weeks, and two weeks into it, the numbness in my leg that had resulted from a herniated disk and botched physiotherapy has gotten really bad. Clearly, something I did in the exercise routine has exacerbated it. I would be very careful especially if you have had surgery or a herniation. This DVD may be good for people who are sedentary but generally healthy and want to strengthen their abs.

stop back pain now.......2005-03-01

Excellent video, rented it and will now buy it. I hadrheumatoid arthritis for over 18 years and had over 5 surgeries including L5 laminectomy in 94 and then fusion in 2001,herniated neck and was on traction for 1 month because of back injury on L2 back in 85. The excercises are gentle and makes you feel relaxed. Highly recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!.......2004-07-03

This is a great learning tool for people with back problems. I have herniated discs in both my neck and lower back from an accident. I had difficulty walking and moving my neck. After 11 months of specialists trying different things from drugs, P.T. to steriod injections, I picked up this tape...I had just started seeing a neurologist, who reviewed the exercises and approved them...suggesting I start SLOWLY and also suggesting that I enroll in a water aerobics class. I can now do things I used to do, that I couldn't even think about doing after the accident. Note: it is very important that you do the exercises in the order given on the tape...I found that it was a progressive type exercise/strengthening program; and, if I did it in a different order, I did seem to hurt more afterwards. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate this (along with H2O aerobics) which helped me deal with my injuries. Also note: it won't give you instant relief...I did the program along with H2O aerobics for 2 years...before I could get back to a somewhat "normal lifestyle" I did see improvement little by little throughout that time...but, there is NO "quick fix". When you have a back injury, it's up to you to strengthen the muscles to support the spine and discs. It's not a cure....but, doing the exercises does help strengthen the muscles around the discs which provides some pain relief and gives you more mobility. This tape also includes a section about how to do everyday tasks differently, to prevent "flare ups." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Cheaply made and unprofessional.......2007-06-27

This video looks like someone filmed it against a green screen in their living room. The instructor speaks in this weak, self-concious voice, throwing in a cheesy "You've got it!" or "Fantastic" now and then. The real problem, though, is that the instructor goes so fast through the poses that there is no real benefit from doing them, unless you pause the DVD every minute or so and stretch at your own pace. It's a stretch (no pun intended) to call this yoga.

Perfect for Back Pain Relief!.......2007-02-05

I ordered this DVD because I have chronic back problems and frequent back pain. There are three segments on this DVD: one for the neck and upper back, one for the lower back, and another for overall back relaxation.
Each of the segments does, in fact, relax and help strengthen the back as promised. The yoga practices offered on this DVD helped to alleviate my aches and pains; at the beginning of the practice, I would be tight and in pain, and by the end I would feel very relieved at my my pain's disappearance. Nancy Wile has an encouraging and lighthearted teaching style which makes even beginners like me feel at ease and successful. She suggests modifications for those who cannot quite achieve certain poses, as well. Her voice is soothing, and she explains each pose thoroughly. I recommend this DVD without reservation to anyone who has back pain and is looking for a quick fix that feels great! Three cheers for "Yoga To Go's Back To Health!"

Got this for my sister.......2007-01-19

I gave this to my sister. She has a back problem and I was hoping it would help keep her loose and comfortable. She hasn't sent me any overwhelming praise about it, so I guess it's ok so far.

Description

If you're envying the six-pack abs on Jillian Michaels, trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," look no further than her Shape-Up Backside exercise DVD for an intense high-impact workout. Michaels keeps your body moving (though she herself skips out on half the exercises) with hammer curls, oblique raises, step ups, planks, and a move called The Superman destined to tone your back, biceps glutes, hamstrings and abs. There's a lower-level option, but Michaels likes to "kick your butt," as she says, to get you to feel the burn. Shape-Up Backside's DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. It requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells, which may make it difficult for beginners. But if you give it a try, even in the comfort of your living room you'll think you're in a gym -- trainer yelling in your ear and all. -- Ellen A. Kim Shape Up Backside: "Welcome to The Back in Action. The idea behind this workout is that we're going to work the entire backside of your body. Your back, your biceps, your glutes, yur hamstrings, and of course, as always, your abs. We will be keeping it very aerobic throughout our resistance training because we want to burn off fat and that is the best way to do it. The reason we're working our back and our biceps together is they have the same function. They are both pull muscles. You want to work them on the same day. And the reason behind incorporating glues and hamstrings is so we can work upper and lower body at the same time and really elevate the heart rate and burn off that fat. The only muscle group that we will be incorporating in every workout is the abs. The abs can tolerate a workout everyday without too much fatigure. Ok guys, let's get started." Jillian Michaels

Customer Reviews:

Didn't get any kicks out of this workout.......2007-07-02

I wouldn't call this workout "kickbox." It's more of a bootcamp class with some kickbox stuff thrown in. It's pretty boring and the music is lousy. The instructor is a bit full of herself and she doesn't give any sort of safety or form advice. If you want a great workout with a great instructor try Silk Manning. I wish he made more than one video. Plus Kathy Smith's videos are always great.

Highly Disappointed.......2007-07-02

Love the show "Biggest Loser", but could barely stand to watch her DVD. Waste of money. She hardly does any of the exercises and spends more time flirting with the guys than the workout itself. Huge disppointment.

Short workout, but packs a punch........2007-06-23

I like this workout led by Jillian. It is short, but works up a sweat. The entire workout length itself is around 24 or 25 minutes long consisting of 21 minutes of cardio followed by a 3 to 4 minute cool down. The good thing about this workout is that it is very easy to follow along with. There are no combinations or dance type routines to learn. It is as simple as doing 30 jumping jacks, then 10 leg kicks on the left, then 10 leg kicks on the right, etc., counting as you go. Jillian does have a bit of a drill sergeant persona and comes across as tough. For example, she makes everyone drop and do push ups when one of the girls asks "is that it?" when she think the workout is over, but that just seems to be her style. Good overall short workout.

Awesome workout.......2007-06-12

I love these workouts! She really keeps your heart-rate going and gives you a great workout! If you're looking to lose weight, or just keep in shape, these are for you! I've been working out for years, and got hooked on tae-bo, but I really love the weight-oriented workouts that Jillian provides. I absolutely recommend them!

Best money ever spent on health & fitness.......2007-06-11

This has got to be the best money I've ever spent on a health/fitness item! Jillian Michaels is truly inspirational for people with a strong goal in mind and this set of DVD's is definitely helping me on my way to achieving that goal!
