Summary: "Unboring exercise, only liimited space needed"

This "out of print" video is so good, I bought an (unopened yet) backup from Amazon in case my original breaks. I HATE to exercise and this is the only regimen I've ever been able to get myself to do. I've used it for many years. I'd say it's not for gym hounds but great for anyone else. It's only as taxing as you yourself decide to make it, you feel really good when you do it; also it isn't boring, and can be done in limited space-- about 5 or 6 feet. If you're old enough for AARP to start flooding your mailbox--or even older than THAT-- I heartily recommend this.

Summary: "Richard Simmons/Silver Foxes"

A great exercise tape for those of us with silver tresses! Not too stressful but enough to get the blood flowing and the heart pumping.

Summary: "Worth the money!"

If you are over 50 or just in poor physical condition, I'd highly recommend this video. It's divided into two sections: The first section is a low impact routine (and I do mean low!) that just gets everything moving. No complicated dance steps to learn, no jerky motions and no headbanging music. It goes at a very leisurely pace and there is no floorwork. The second section is a toning routine designed to strengthen various muscle groups.

Richard leads a group of senior celebrity parents through the program and each section is about 30 minutes long. The only equipment you need is a kitchen chair for the second section.

Again, if are physically limited but can walk, Richard Simmons Silver Foxes would be my first choice. Nicely done!

Summary: "The Dead Need Not Apply"

If you think this exercise for seniors requires you to be half dead, think again. Simmons takes several "celebrity-parents" seniors through a very low impact workout. You will "move" here to nice mellow music and workout in an attractive setting. The highlight is his encouragement to tone and become flexible during a sit-down regime.

Again, this is a low impact, but if one is conditioned, you can increase the activity. Excellent workout for seniors whether you are beginning or advanced. Take it at your own pace. .....MzRizz
