this dvd is terrible. and, it was not what i expected.when it says 'functional fitness, brain power', i expected that it was mental exercises for the brain, and i was excited with that prospect.when i first put in the dvd i saw what i considered a 'cheesecake pose'. it was cheesy, cheap, and amateur, with suzanne andrews wanting us to see her breast size rather than wanting us to improve our brains. this is followed by a 'morphed' image with what was apparently suzanne andrews 'in the old days' and then her after exercise. this intro seemed like someone created it who was just learning video-making, certainly not someone professional. this intro contributed nothing to the exercise video and should have been edited out. i actually took the dvd out in disgust.a few days later i thought, 'well, i have to give it a fair chance', so i went through the whole thing.calling the poorly made exercise video 'brain power' is just a gimmick of marketing. i can get many better made exercise videos and have them work just as well for my brain since any physical exercise which gets my heart pumping, helps the brain.in the introduction, suzanne andrews is giving us a 'pep talk'. it appears that she has practiced this many times with a producer saying 'you've got to be more lively and enthusiastic': so, she gives us lively and enthusiastic. it doesn't ring true, it is just someone *trying to be* lively and enthusiastic.the exercises are fine. i would rather take a walk. the whole thing kind of gave me the creeps.
