Exercise: A Video from the National Institute on Aging
Love Modifiers
Have turned 65 and started with the Firm, looking for workouts that I can modify UP on harder days. This works for that purpose. You can add weights, increase repetitions and hoist it up to still be a good workout with a pace that lets you set the tone for where you want to be. - posted by kathy on 12/29/2011

video from the national institute of aging
sent it to my sister in California since she always has an excuse not to exercise esp. toning. Now she can do it in her office or at home whenever she has 10 or 15 minute breaks..it is convenient..and easy to remember. I do my leg toning while waiting for my subway ride..hey..it's a no brainer and I am 68 yrs old. - posted by Florence NYC on 11/25/2011

A good addition to the routine.
This routine is well-balanced, well-paced, and uncomplicated. Communication is clear, with a minimum of irritating mannerisms or irritating music. Instructor is pleasant, firm, and encouraging. Strength and toning benefit is quickly felt. Plus, there are a few points in weight lifting where her technique feels clearly superior to other instructors I've worked with. Recommended. - posted by Judith on 11/17/2011

Good workout
Slow, deliberate movements plus two sets of 15 reps equals a surprisingly good workout. - posted by Linda on 10/20/2011

An Excellent Video
This video is great for beginners or slightly more advanced users. The instructions for proper form are easily understood and clearly demonstrated. Suggestions are given for each exercise on how to make adaptions for various fitness levels. - posted by Julie on 9/29/2011

Exercise on Aging
I used this video with a class I am leading at an Active Adult Community. We needed a change from our existing videos, and this was a great challenge. It was easy to follow, but the slow method of using the weights made it a "step up" from what they were currently doing. - posted by Judy on 9/15/2011

total body workout
This tape is good for overall fitness especially for those over 50. - posted by judy on 6/9/2011

Nat'l Institute on Aging Video
I was very pleased with your service, including the professionalism of the person(s) on the phone. I have recommended your company to others, as I plan to research it myself as needed. Thanks for the opportunity. - posted by Joan M Drapp on 5/19/2011

Video from the National Institute on Aging
Very well done with clear instruction and helpful comments to motivate me. I am 70 years old and am regular about exercise - both aerobic and strength training - and have used your videos for years. I recently updated my collection to focus more on gentler exercise and lower weight strength training due to my age. - posted by Eileen on 5/13/2011

Exercise for Older Folks
This is a pretty good, weight lifting workout for older folks. It's my opinion that they use a little too heavy a weight for most people who are starting out with the video, but it's well-cued and definitely a challenge for those of us over 55. - posted by Pat W on 4/7/2011

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
