Simple aerobics followed by basic toning and a great stretch. Both programs are designed to burn fat and strengthen your heart while also increasing strength and flexibility. The cardio segments are exceptionally varied. They range from traditional marches, mambos and step-touches to cute sequences like "symphony" and "gardening" (bending over like you're pulling weeds). The toning sections combine seniors-specific body-sculpting with gentle balance exercises (often using a chair for stability and reassurance). It all ends with an extended series of deep, relaxing stretches. Note: The second workout is nearly identical to the first; it just has a few additional aerobic exercises. Also: the same warm-up, cooldown and some of the cardio moves are re-used in Sue's intermediate-level [6436] Older, Wiser and Wonderful DVD.} Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2013.
