Certified instructor description: A totally non-threatening seniors program that covers every fitness element: aerobics, toning and balance. But you don’t have to do the entire workout. The DVD is designed to let you play the individual segments you want. The cardio is all low-impact and easy-to-follow. It ranges from simple mambos and step touches to gentle agility and sports exercises. The toning uses a chair and a resistance band to build strength and flexibility. The balance exercises focus on techniques that can be used in day-to-day activities. Sue Grant is a skilled, supportive instructor who emphasizes safe and effective form. Her exercisers are 60 and 80 years old. Requires a 5-foot resistance band. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Older and Much Wiser Workout
Really good, a little cutesy
The exercises in this DVD are excellent--I am 77 and decided to expand my video library beyond Leslie Sansone and Jane Fonda and this is a very good addition. However, the leader seems to have had a former career in children's television. She certainly tries not to be condescending, but her little flights of fancy ("Now you're in a BIG bubble!") are tiresome. It's too bad, because this is the only negative aspect of what are a series of very good workouts. - posted by Victoria on 4/27/2012

Great Workout for the less agile
It is a perfect workout, and combination of workouts, for older people and people with minor disabilities. Has 3 different levels and by adding or eliminating segments can lengthen or shorten workouts according to need. It includes everything from cardio to muscle building. Very well done and much appreciated! - posted by Cheryl on 3/20/2012

Older and Much Wiser Workout
Not to many workouts for seniors so I was very pleased w/this one especially w/the fact you can do as much as you need to especially in the beginning. It was fun and the instruction were really good. Glad I purchased this one. - posted by Janet on 2/10/2012

Sweet Workout
This workout has a lot of variety built in, which keeps it from becoming monotonous. I also like the "a la carte" options that allow you to tailor the workout to the time you have available. I find the challenge level to be just right for my exercise needs as a busy 55-year old teacher. Simply put, it does the trick for me. A definite keeper! - posted by Nora on 1/21/2012

Older & Much Better
Sue Grant's "Older and Much Wiser Workout" is the best of several "senior" workouts I've tried. We need the emphasis on stretching and balance -- as opposed to workouts that stress only low impact. I especially like the ease of moving from one segment to another, and the elimination of ads and messages that take up time. (I'm 77 and have been exercising regularly for 30+ years.) - posted by Mary Ann on 1/3/2012

Great exercises for older people
Use for group of women over 60. All are able to do most of the movements. Great disc for maintaining or regaining flexibility. - posted by Judee on 12/29/2011

Easy does it
I hate being in this category, but since I'm recovering (slowly) from chemo, I needed something gentle. This fits the bill. The instructor has an annoying voice, and she acts like she's talking to kindergarteners, but I do recommend this for people who need to do something easy at this point. - posted by Carol on 12/28/2011

Older and Much Wiser Workout
This video is very good....I will definitely use it! - posted by Linda on 11/10/2011

all in one workout
A nice change from other workouts I own. Every body part will be challenged. I am 60. - posted by cyndy on 9/29/2011

Another Good DVD
I enjoyed the first "Older & Wiser Workout" and this one proved to be a great deal of fun and a nice workout. There is no floor work and that is important to me as I have a knee injury which doesn't allow me to go the floor anymore. I really like the strength training segment, too. A nice basic workout. - posted by Cecilia on 8/18/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

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.
