I got a few good tips that make it worth the purchase so I give it four stars for a beginner. If you listen to what she is telling you while strecthing you may improve your technique. Definitely for beginners and not the work out video I was hoping for.

I purchased this video to help me overcome “runner’s knee” pain. It is too early to know how beneficial this video will be. I notice some progress, the exercises make a lot of sense and are easy to follow. Chantall is a knowledgable and cheerful instructor. What I do not like is the commercial and introduction at the beginning of the video. This may be interesting the very first time but becomes a nuisance when you want to replay the video just for the exercises. There should be an option to go straight to the exercises.

I would actually give this DVD more than 5 stars. Excellent DVD with valuable instruction. There are a number of important muscles relating to the knee and Chantal has exercises for them. This made a positive difference with my ITBS which is now better. I will continue using this DVD every few days. This was the best purchase I made. Chantal Donnely is a physical therapist and sharing exercises to keep knees healthy!

I loved this video and found it to be extremely helpful. The explanation of the muscles and how they work (and how they can cause pain when not working correctly) was extremely beneficial to me. I am so glad they included this. However, you do not have to watch the informational part every time — you can easily watch only the excercise/stretching bits in any order you choose by going to the bonus features. In fact, I love it that you can select which excercises and in which order, this is one feature that puts this video far ahead of any other excercise video for me. The bonus features is also where the 7-minute workout can be found, as well as the self-massage section and balance section (although, frankly, I was disappointed at how simple and basic those last one was).
The ads bother me as well, and I really resent that they have these ads at the beginning of this video; however, I didn’t seem to have a problem skipping over them.

I blew out both knees in high school, had a total of 5 operations from age 16 to 18, and am now 49. I love to hike and bike, but it doesn’t take much for my knees to ache — especially when walking downhill or down stairs.
I’ve been doing the exercises for three weeks now, and really notice a difference. I’m also having less of a problem with plantar faciitis, which has plagued me for the past 6 months.
If you go to the extra features, you can just string together the exercises without the full description of why you’re doing them. I do the exercises about 5 times a week — I try to alternate between the full set and the 7-minute set.
I’ve also loaned the DVD to two friends who have had knee replacements, and after trying it once, both ordered their own copy.
