I have had this set forever and count it as one of my best fitness purchases out of the many, many items I have picked up over the years. The original box contained a pair of 3 lb. padded dumbbells, a stretching strap, a CD with music and walking cues that you can use to moderate your pace while walking outdoors, on a treadmill or on an elliptical, and a VHS tape with a short toning workout and a short stretch.The three pound dumbbells from the set are actually very comfortable to hold and the 20 minute toning workout on the VHS tape is perfection for me. I have osteoporosis and there are moves that I am not supposed to do which means a lot of workouts have to be modified. Not so with this one! There is no forward flexion, no sit-ups, no crunches. Lots of basic moves that hit even major muscle group and you're done. The instructor is fabulous - good form pointers, no corny, dated jokes, no idle chit chat.This tape is the only reason I still have a VHS player in my house. I don't know what I will do when one or the other breaks!
