Product Description
Back to Fitness, a one of a kind program. Back to Fitness is a comprehensive strengthening and stretching program designed by physicians for those with back pain as well as those who wish to maintain a healthy back. Back to Fitness was designed by a neurosurgeon, psychiatrist and two neuroscientists to allow individuals to achieve a healthy mind and body. Unlike exercise manuals, books or pamphlets, the individual can turn on the DVD and follow the experts through a unique program designed for the back and abdomen.
Over 60 million people in the USA suffer from back pain! Back to Fitness will provide them with an educational introduction, a warm-up, exercises and a cool-down made specifically for low back pain. This is not a yoga or aerobics tape; many of which are inappropriate for those with back pain. Back to Fitness is an innovative, easy-to-follow program designed by doctors. This is the DVD that can be easily utilized by those 60 million back pain sufferers.
The Back to Fitness program includes 4 chapters.
Chapter 1 Back Pain 101: In this segment, Dr. Todd and Dr. Di discuss back pain and back anatomy. They explain why the back is a problem for so many patients. They discuss common treatment options, and answer some frequently asked questions.
Chapter II Warm-up: a complete head to toe warm up.
Chapter III Back Stretching and Strengthening Program: a detailed program for stretching and strengthening the back and abdominal muscles. Each activity can be customized for beginner, intermediate, and advanced participants.
Chapter IV Cool down: Dr. Di leads a brief and relaxing cool down. |

Not Worth The Money by Luciana (Bellingham WA)  2 Stars
October 29, 2007
I have to agree with the reviewers who believe that this DVD is uninspiring and not well done. The presenters ARE amateurish and reading from an awkward script.
Counting would be good to prevent back misalignment. Except for the warm-up and cool-down, where the stretches aren't held nearly long enough, the entire workout consists of a hands-and-knees position, where the arms and shoulders get more of a workout than the back and leg muscles, and a lying-down series of pelvic tilts and mild crunches. Not bad exercises, but not enough variety, not enough repetitions, and, most importantly, no thorough explanation of how to optimally tighten the abdominal muscles.

I am so sorry I spend $26.99 on this DVD. It is a vaste of money and time. I feel like a got an amateur video with very poor exercises. The "Doctors" look fake.

Very amateurish by J. Rohe 1 Stars
December 17, 2006
I have several dvd's on yoga and exercises for back pain; this one was a BIG disappointment. It's almost embarrassingly amateurish and wasn't helpful in the least. I'm giving it to the thrift shop (though I hope no one pays more than a quarter for it). I received an e-mail ad for it from Amazon and it was rated five stars, so you can imagine my surprise!

Well Done! by A. Ballen (Honolulu, HI)  5 Stars
July 25, 2006
Great DVD program! The information presented by the two doctors (a neurosurgeon and a psychiatrist) were easy to understand and the program itself was simple to follow. I especially liked how the program offered different levels of fitness based on indiviual needs. I thought it was great the MDs not only provided pertinent information regarding back fitness but also participated in the actual program! This only reinforces how much they truely believe Back to Fitness can be beneficial for people who have back issues. Excellant DVD!

Nothing but the best by Mary Ann (New York, NY) 5 Stars
January 16, 2006
In everything they do, Dr. Diane and Dr. Todd seem to provide nothing but the best! Having know their work personally for years, I have never known them to produce anything less!
