Full Backcover Description

The Older and Wiser Workout is a gentle, safe workout that is perfect for beginners and those that have not been exercising regularly. All of the exercises are done either standing or sitting on a chair. (No lying down on the floor.)

This fun, well rounded workout includes the three vital components of fitness: easy-to-follow low impact aerobics, gentle strength training and relaxing cool down and stretch.

You may mix & match these different sections depending on how much time you have and how you are feeling each day. In addition, you will see three different levels for each exercise, so you will be able to ‘customize’ this workout to meet your particular needs. You’ll love the upbeat encouragement and helpful cues, and you will be amazed at how quickly you progress!

This beautifully instructed DVD provides a much needed exercise resource for the older adult who is looking for a carefully developed and well-rounded home exercise program taught by an instructor who really understands the older adult population. – Dr. Debra Rose, founder of the FallProof Balance and Mobility Program

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.
