Item #5532	$19.95	In-stock: Yes

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

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

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.
