This is what I can say: Prone to exercise related injury, prior to SuperSlow it was rare that I would go two or three months without hurting myself. Mind you I was mostly self-trained and had much better results working with a trainer. Since beginning SuperSlow, my trainer McKerrin (www.mckerrinkellyfitness.com) has helped me make consistent gains, while avoiding injury. I've had a few flare ups, mostly lower back, but nothing we haven't been able to work through. My trainer has been awesome providing supplemental stretches to help correct imbalances that contribute to injury. My level of fitness has improved such that I am able to be much more active, doing things and keeping up a pace that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to. Also, a lifelong Tai Chi Chuan practitioner, SuperSlow feels like a perfect fit for me. There is obviously a correlation between the speed of the workout and my martial arts practice, but also there is an element of mindfulness that I absolutely appreciate. Finally, the most important element for me has been time. I started SuperSlow after getting accepted to an entertainment industry training program for Assistant Directors. Very few are selected for this program and the work load is incredibly demanding. Working 5 days a week, upwards of 16+ hours a day, there was very little time for a fitness routine. SuperSlow was my saving grace. One 30-45 min workout on Sundays helped keep me fit for the duration of my training. I don't know how I would have been able to work-out otherwise. SuperSlow really is a perfect fit for someone who has major time constraints! Well there you go. Hope that feedback helps anyone considering SuperSlow!

I now have my PT certification so I do know what I am doing, though I could have bitten off a bit more than I expected...also I was 63 at that time so probably needed to take it more slowly especially on the shoulders which are my weakness. So I was just wanting a bit more instruction (I had about 20 minutes previously) before delving into it again. I still really like the idea & the time saving.
