Margaret Richard's Exercise: National Institute on Aging

No Nonsense, But No Fun
I've got nothing against government agencies doing exercise videos, and the exercises in this are fine, but it is unrelentingly monotonous. Thirty reps at one sitting can seem like an eternity and could be pretty tiring for a beginner. I can't think of any particular group--or exercise level--I would recommend this for. - posted by Victoria on 4/27/2012
Exercise for Seniors from the Nat'l Institue of Aging
I did do this exercise and I think she was very good w/instructions and I think she did not over do it or under do it and I will continue to exercise w/this dvd at least twice a week. I would have like them to have some soft music but it was ok. - posted by Janet on 2/10/2012
Love Modifiers
Have turned 65 and started with the Firm, looking for workouts that I can modify UP on harder days. This works for that purpose. You can add weights, increase repetitions and hoist it up to still be a good workout with a pace that lets you set the tone for where you want to be. - posted by kathy on 12/29/2011
video from the national institute of aging
sent it to my sister in California since she always has an excuse not to exercise esp. toning. Now she can do it in her office or at home whenever she has 10 or 15 minute breaks..it is convenient..and easy to remember. I do my leg toning while waiting for my subway ride..hey..it's a no brainer and I am 68 yrs old. - posted by Florence NYC on 11/25/2011
A good addition to the routine.
This routine is well-balanced, well-paced, and uncomplicated. Communication is clear, with a minimum of irritating mannerisms or irritating music. Instructor is pleasant, firm, and encouraging. Strength and toning benefit is quickly felt. Plus, there are a few points in weight lifting where her technique feels clearly superior to other instructors I've worked with. Recommended. - posted by Judith on 11/17/2011
Good workout
Slow, deliberate movements plus two sets of 15 reps equals a surprisingly good workout. - posted by Linda on 10/20/2011
An Excellent Video
This video is great for beginners or slightly more advanced users. The instructions for proper form are easily understood and clearly demonstrated. Suggestions are given for each exercise on how to make adaptions for various fitness levels. - posted by Julie on 9/29/2011
Exercise on Aging
I used this video with a class I am leading at an Active Adult Community. We needed a change from our existing videos, and this was a great challenge. It was easy to follow, but the slow method of using the weights made it a "step up" from what they were currently doing. - posted by Judy on 9/15/2011
total body workout
This tape is good for overall fitness especially for those over 50. - posted by judy on 6/9/2011

I was very pleased with your service, including the professionalism of the person(s) on the phone. I have recommended your company to others, as I plan to research it myself as needed. Thanks for the opportunity. - posted by Joan M Drapp on 5/19/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
