Certified instructor description: An easy-to-do mostly-muscle-toning program that’s entirely done sitting down. This video works your entire body with a gentle series of arm swings, leg lifts and even finger flexibility exercises. Most moves are fairly fast-paced so there is even some aerobic benefit. Ends with a very relaxing stretch and “guided meditation” segment. Soundtrack features a variety of songs — everything from Broadway tunes to a Yiddish melody. ©1995.

Sit and Be Fit: All Sitting Exercises

sitting exercises mainly for flexibility

I admit, I am probably not the target audience for this video. I am a relatively healthy and fit woman in my mid-thirties who just happens to be unable to do my usual walking workouts after a serious foot injury and surgery have caused me to be non-weight bearing. I was looking for something to help me keep my fitness level during my convalescence. This video helps a little, but it is really more for promoting flexibility. The middle section is pretty brisk, but otherwise there is no real cardio value, and I felt like I really didn't get much of an upper body workout at all; the video said we would be using a resistance band, but we never got to that, not sure why. So in conclusion, I think this is a very good video for those that may have reduced muscle function or flexibility, but not for someone like me who is temporarily unable to stand. As a side note, I picked this particular video because it was the only general topic one that did not come with a piece of equipment which I did not need. Can you please start offering vids with or without the complimentary equipment? Not everyone needs a resistance band with every DVD they buy. - posted by Jessica on 3/24/2010

Best I've found for fibro

This is one of the best exercise videos I have ever found, especially for people who have debilitating conditions. I developed fibromyalgia in 2003 and have been searching for one I could do. Walking videos tend to exhaust me so I finally gave them up. When I tried this for the first time, I was suprised at how thorough it is and yet it didn't weary me. Mary Ann has some of the most unique moves I've ever seen and it kept me so interested trying to keep up with her, the workout was over before I knew it. This is definitely a keeper and I would recommend it to anyone, but especially persons with debilitating conditions. - posted by Sharon on 7/8/2008

Don't Give Up

I had a stroke in Sept of '06. When the therapists I was working with told me we're sorry but there's nothing more we can do, I was so angered because it was very obvious that I needed more help. I found your program and 5 days a week I have my "11:00 appt." Since working out with Maryanne, I have improved tremendously. Thank You Victoria Feleo - posted by Victoria on 7/26/2007

great for stoke patients

My dad is disabled. He sits and complains he has NO circulation but does not have the strength to do 'normal' excercises. This tape is a gift from heaven. It a joy to hear him sing along and do his exercises. Drives us crazy because he is terrible singer...(love him anyway). Thank you for making such a great tape! - posted by Maria on 11/24/2004

Comments:

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.

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.

Stretch type

Athletic: Traditional sports-style, all-physical stretches. It is the least mind-body focused.

Yoga: Carefully designed poses that emphasize breath, concentration and mental awareness. It also includes the more flowing yoga style – Power Yoga.

Tai Chi: All-standing, very fluid poses (it looks like a person moving in slow-motion). The Chinese called Tai Chi "meditation in motion."

Specialty: Seated Exercises

Workouts especially created for anyone who prefers to work out while seated. They may include all three basic exercise types: aerobics, toning and stretch.
