Back-to-basics aerobics followed by an effective series of non-floorwork toning. You’ll always see exactly the right level for you because every exercise is shown at three intensities (e.g. a calf raise on one leg or two; a squat holding the back of a chair or not). The cardio features simple combos — familiar, fun moves like kicks, knee lifts, jazz squares and step-touches (often with complementary arm motions). The toning — seated and standing — focuses on building the muscles used in everyday activities. It includes a wide variety of proven classics. Sue Grant, a friendly, low-key instructor, focuses on safety and proper form. Swing music with a modern feel. Requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells. ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Older & Wiser Workout

I'd like to revise my earlier video

I took this video to our exercise class again this morning and we all agreed that it would be less hectic if we cut down on the aerobic portion, which is 23 minutes long. The remaining two sections are a lot less difficult and really offer a great workout. I would give the video four stars rather than the two I had formerly given it. - posted by Isabel Cutler on 8/13/2009

Great workout for cardio, weights, and stretching

This has been a great workout for me. I am 67 and am in good shape but have degenerative disc disease in my cervical and lumbar spine. I have no problem doing any of the exercises. I like the cardio, weights, and stretching exercises that she does. I would love if she would do another video that would be a little more challenging in all areas because I have been doing this video for a long time and would like to advance. - posted by Ronnie on 7/7/2009

Should have paid attention to "For Active Older Adults"...

My first senior workout video was Craig Marcacci's Senior Fitness "Easy Does It!". My exercise group loved it. The pacing was wonderful and we really felt we had gotten a good workout. Having enjoyed that one so much I decided to order another one so we could alternate and have a bit more cardio work. We are in our sixties and seventies and found this one a bit too fast and hectic. It was hard to follow the patterns and some of the legwork actually got painful. We are still going to use it on a part-time basis, but for seniors in our age group who are not particularly active, I wouldn't recommend this one. - posted by Isabel Cutler on 4/14/2009

Best ever workout

After much trial and error, I finally found the perfect workout DVD. I can't say enough about this workout and Sue Grant, the instructor. Safe and easy to follow aerobics and the sitting or standing ONLY (no floor exercises-yay!!) toning segment is excellent for women and the problem spots that come with age. I have fibromyalgia and using the modifications, this is just great for me. I hope Sue comes out with more workouts like this. - posted by Sharon on 10/7/2008

Great for beggining or "beginning again"

I have started working out again after being ill for several months. This program is an excellent way to start slowly as I build to greater intensity. Sue Grant is upbeat and conveys a genuine caring for older exercisers. Her cueing and explanation of movements are excellent - better than any other instructor in my extensive collection of workout videos! - posted by Nelda on 7/27/2008

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).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

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.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Seniors

Workouts especially designed for older exercisers (e.g. featuring seniors participants or older music styles). They may include all three basic exercise types: aerobics, toning and stretch.
