Time graph for Exercise: A Video from the National Institute on Aging

By the U.S. Government’s National Institute on Aging — a division of the National Institutes of Health — it’s a well-presented, well-produced series of total-body muscle-toning routines. Designed to improve strength, balance and flexibility, you get easy-to-follow cuing, careful explanations and even some more-challenging options. No floorwork, all these moves are either seated or standing. 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells are required; 2 to 5 lb. ankle weights are optional. Quiet music. ©2000. Previously titled “50 Plus Exercise with Margaret Richard”. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Exercise: A Video from the National Institute on Aging

Best Weight Training Video for Active Age 50 People

I like this video the best for age 50 individuals who are active and wish to complete a good weight resistance program. It's the DVD I buy for others as a gift! - posted by Patricia on 10/14/2007

*The star rating system began in April 2007. Reviews posted before then do not have stars.

I bought this workout for rehab after an injury. This workout would be much more fun if it had some interesting music. There's some light instrumental music during the warm up and cool down, but virtually nothing in between and Margaret teaches at such a slow, deliberate pace that some interesting music would have helped a great deal. The exercises were fine, but I doubt I'll reach for this one very often because I found it pretty boring. - posted by Tammy on 4/22/2005

Not just for Seniors

This is a great video for people like me who are getting stiffer, as time goes by, because of arthritis. However, the pace does get a little slow once you've worked with it more than 5 times.I still refer to it when I want an easier routine after a hard day. Worth the price. - posted by Lucia on 4/14/2002

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.
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).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.
