    It looks insane but hell, she's slim, looks healthy, and clearly gives not a single fuck about what people think of it, and is enjoying herself. I'll stick to tai chi for myself, but respect to this lady :)

    It's easy to make fun of this lady but she is in great shape and is only encouraging people to do things that are good for them.
    How often can you say that about anything? Good on her. 👍

    I took my 95-year-old grandmother to the doctor today. The doctor offered her stretching exercises and physical therapy to which she exclaimed “NO”. Then he showed her this video and she got up and started dancing with her, granny’s livin to 105 now!

    I'm a therapist, and The #1 difficulty in my patients being motivated to being active is compliance and sustainability. Many have good intentions but don't start or keep it up. So one thing that seems to work really well is to just suggest that they dance. 2-3 songs throughout the day is about 8-12 minutes of activity. Blood is flowing, heart rate is up and put joints are moving in all sorts of directions - unlike a lot pf daily tasks that are a forward-backward motion. and people will choose music they like. Endorphins go up, pain goes down. Good for this lady for making it her own.

  • @Terrordacturne
    @Terrordacturne 9 років тому +995

    At first I started to laugh at the idea of Prancercise, but, because regular fitness routines and exercise just didn't cut it for me, I found my laughter fading into a serious fit of contemplation.
    "What if I actually tried this?" I thought to myself. "Maybe this really does work, I mean, she looks so happy while working out."
    So, the following morning I was out in the park. There was still dew on the grass and trees, and the mist in the air was thick and moist, but I pranced on. My feet took over, as I listened to the beats coming from the royalty free guitar track in my ears. I knew, then and there, that I was on a path to better fitness, and FINALLY enjoying my work out! Thank you Prancercise, and thank you Joanna, for making me a Prancerciser!

    I love it . After having a stroke and having to relearn how to walk , talk and use my arms in a very unhealthy setting and being very limited in how I can work out I have decided that finding a way to workout in a way that makes you happy and does not hurt you then go for it . And love that she is in better shape than most the people I see at a gym in addition to having a great personality .

  • @lindsayron6345
    @lindsayron6345 10 років тому +80

    This has been bothering me:
    It's too bad people feel the need to mock this woman.
    she is passionate about her dream of helping others through Prancercise, and her trotting, walking, galloping or boxing doesn't hurt anybody.
    I will admit to laughing a little bit, but I would never publicly mock her like various tv programs are doing - its a form of bullying. at least this lady is MOVING, which is more than can be said for all those sedentary overweight Americans who don't move.
    I guess it's easy to laugh at someone who's trying to do something with themselves, when the majority of people just sit inside at the computer/tv and hide from their potential.
    Good on you Joanne, I totally respect your spirit, drive, intentions and commitment. Don't let the small minded folks give you any pause. Your ability to shake off other's opinions is commendable! In that respect, I hope I'm like you one day. You are a beautiful soul Joanna, go kick some a*s out there!

    The people on here making fun of her, the naysayers, the skeptics, have no idea what your talking about and I guarantee not one you people know the first thing about proper workout routines and proper dieting. I scoffed at this too. In the beginning. About 2 years ago I was having a hell of a time getting back in shape after a skydiving incident, I tried everything and none of it worked. Desperate, I fired up the computer and began frantically searching for any exercises to get back in shape, til I stumbled onto this gem. You see, I only had 9 days til I started Navy SEAL training, I was a mess. I'm happy to report that because of this program BUDS was a breeze! Nobody could keep up with me. The instructors were so impressed I was immediately made an instructor, and to this day I still run this grueling regimen teaching prancersize to new seal trainees. This is the real reason most guys fail. Hell week is now this (obviously cut down from a week to 41/2 hours. Too many casualties, )

    Apart from the inappropriately tight fitting leggings, this is a great video and I love the music.
