Are these good for beginners trying to learn proper form or is there a different model better for beginners?

Developing a proper kick is not helped or necessarily hindered by the wearing of fins. Fins are worn, typically, to strengthen the leg muscles, not as a means to develop the proper form.

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

I'm a Triathlon Coach and spend a lot of time w/newbies who have no swimming skills...I always have them get a pair of these to use in all their workouts...

It is good to start as a beginner. If you are looking to make a deck, this can be useful as it provides a wide variety. However, if you are looking to improve a deck with powerful cards, you are not guaranteed what you want. I would recommend this if you are looking to increase your collection, or if you are a beginner duelist looking for affordable cards. This is also a very good deal in terms of price for how many cards you get.

If you want a lasting pair of power jumping stilts that you can use through your adult years, then I would recommend getting a pair of the 158-198lb model, but you will not be able to jump until your reach the minimum weight class, however, getting this model is ideal for learning how to walk on them quickly. This was great for me; I bought this pair of stilts when I weighted 115, and within a year of growing, I was a tiny bit less then the weight requirement. So if you want a better "stilt" experience, this is the one to go with, but if you want a better "spring" to do high jumps and adrenaline rushing flips, you should probably get a lower weight model.

Yes. I am a beginner and they were recommended. For quality,balance AND price in case I lose interest. I like them. I have smal hands so they feel good.

this machine is very good for beginners and there are many stitches for the advanced sewer and quilter as well. To help my daughter who is a beginner sewer to keep a straight line, we taped masking tape on the top. works great.

Before beginning any workout routine you want to clear it with your doctor. If you're cleared then this is the perfect workout. We lose muscle tone as we grow older and weights significantly help our bones and joints. A beginner should start with light weights or no weights. Form is most important when your're learning, but don't worry you'll still get a good workout. I would also say to be careful when doing lunges, this can hurt your knees and its always okay to perform an alternate exercise,which might now be shown on the DVDs. If you can exercise in front of mirror this will help you see your form. Good luck to you. Before beginning any workout routine you want to clear it with your doctor.

I would say I'm in decent shape and can use it pretty effectively. If you prefer quick short steps, you will stay at the top of the stepper, for longer (I think harder) steps, let yourself down a little farther each time by moving more slowly. I wouldn't call it gym quality, but I get a good workout especially for endurance if I do over 20 minutes at a time.

It is good for beginners. My 13 year old uses it and his only experience on a board prior was a penny board. He rides it around the neighborhood a lot and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or cracking.

I agree with Kent. With some practice, you'll be fine. I've owned a few of these over the years and these are as good as they get. Have fun!

If you are just taking up the game I would recommend them. If you are hitting less than 100 I would go with a regular set of clubs and have them fitted or go with a women's set (which I believe these are the same size as). My kids have used these for a couple of years and had a great time with them and they are about the same size. So in summary if you are just starting out or just want to have fun with the game then yes go for it, if you are more experienced or want to get serious, then I would go to your local shop and talk with them.

Yes it is a perfect practice tool for beginners. The height is adjustable and durable. Must add a weight to the base to keep it from falling over. That is not really a big deal. Just go to a sporting goods store and buy a 10 pound weight.

It would be tough for a beginner. More so if you have no sports or workout background. If you are just out of shape and trying to get back into shape then you can just start out slow and work harder as you become more fit. If you are in decent shape and new to workout videos then it will be a good challenge. I hope that helps:)

The Classic is really the way to go unless you have very little strength and endurance. It is actually easier to get into the rhythm to use properly. You can vary the intensity if you need to.

In my opinion, I think it is a good beginner / intermediate player acordeon. It has the right sounds to get you started

It would work well for a beginner but you still need to learn correct angles etc. it would be fine if you combined it with youtube videos. Maintaining a correct angle consistently takes practice. Don't forget the honing oil.

Hi, I only have experiencce with the "performance" model. Unfortunately I sold it six months later during a temporary money crunch. I can't advise you on your specific question, but I will say "Damn I wish I had it back!" It was effective in maintaining my form during a time I couldn't work out.
