Certified instructor description: Includes four workouts on one DVD plus a ball and pump. Created for older exercisers, these easy-to-follow programs will strengthen your muscles and keep you fit (they must work; Margaret is 61 years old and she’s in great shape). It comes with the only equipment you need — a 6½-inch inflatable ball. The ball is used to position your body or add resistance (e.g. squeezing it between your knees). The workouts target every major muscle group with one to four exercises — proven classics like crunches, hamstring curls and chest presses. They’re all gently paced with easy transitions and lots of optional modifications. Margaret is an experienced pro — her cuing is clear and totally non-intimidating. Filmed in a peaceful outdoor garden. No music, just Margaret’s quiet voice. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Margaret Richard's Fight Age with Strength

Margaret Richard fan
I've been exercising with her since the 80's I think. Since she comes on PBS too early for the new, older me these days I decided to buy a couple of her videos. They're easy but not too easy, and I like her relaxed, calm demeanor. - posted by Adan on 11/1/2010
Margaret Rocks!!
I started doing Margaret's Body Electric workouts 14 yrs ago and shes never disappointed me. This video is no exception. As an older exerciser I love how easy Margaret makes it to follow along with the moves, and her instruction on form is easy to understand. Plus its a great workout!! Thank you Margaret!! - posted by Sandi on 6/17/2010
has floor work
I bought this tape for my 86 y.o. very active mother. She regularly uses another tape with Margaret Richard. But she decided to return this tape as all routines involve floorwork. Otherwise she thought the tape was wonderful as the instructor is always very clear and motivating. - posted by diane on 6/3/2010 [note from Collage] We thought we were clear on the floorwork element (the graphs do show that three workouts include floor toning).
A FABULOUS WAY TO KEEP THE AGING BODY YOUNG AND FLEXIBLE!
It's good to be enjoying another Margaret Richard workout routine! I've been following her for years ever since before my youngest was born - over 26 years ago and always saw results with Margaret's exercises. This time we're both a little older and I'm excited to use her new DVD to keep me physically limber and toned. - posted by Terri on 5/6/2010
A good work-out, but.......
This is a well-designed, comprehensive work-out by a knowledgeable instructor. Unfortunately, it's way too slow, too wordy, and bores me. Would be nice if she had a tutorial first, then moved more smoothly through the work-out. - posted by Robin on 4/14/2010
for the young at heart
I'm so glad that Margaret made this video for those of us who are over 60. I babysit my grandson and its hard to get exercise in the schedule. But, along with the other video from Margaret I building my strength up and feeling great again. - posted by Beverly on 4/5/2010
Great for beginners!
I really love Margaret Richards' workouts. This one is very nice for those ones who are beginners or need to slow down the pace due to health problems. I hope Collage Video can offer more DVD's of Margaret Richards in the near future. - posted by Vivian on 4/2/2010
My favorite of 2009
I have almost all of Margaret's workouts, but this one is different because she does not use weights. Instead, it's a "squeeze" type workout that goes beautifully with my other barre workouts. I wear light ankle weights and squeeze soft weighted balls (3-8 lbs) or a Pilates ring when I want to increase the resistance. I used this workout exclusively over the summer with my outdoor walking and thought my legs were very strong and shapely. Out of all the workouts I bought in 2009, this was my favorite by far, and I'm an intermediate/advanced exerciser. If you like Callanetics (as I do), try this. - posted by Beth on 2/20/2010
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.
