Certified instructor description: While the cover says “Sit and Be Fit,” you actually get both seated and standing exercises (often with a chair nearby for safety). Both workouts are designed to increase flexibility, build strength, improve balance and boost eye-hand coordination. The exercises are truly goal-specific. For example: a few seconds of standing on one leg as a balance move. Or following your moving finger for eye-hand coordination. It’s taught by PBS’s Mary Ann Wilson, an experienced seniors' instrutor. She’s calm and supportive, never condescending. Includes a short section on fall prevention in everyday activities. Quiet music. ©2010. Originally released as two separate videos in 2004 & 2006. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Sit and Be Fit: Balance & Fall Prevention Workouts

For older adults:

I am into my seventies, and with winter fast approaching, I need to pick up my fitness in order to navigate icy walkways. I have done the beginner workout, and watched the intermediary one. This tape is excellent for my age and goals. Mary Ann Wilson instructs in a caring and clear manner. She is focused, and I am already feeling the improvement in my movements and coordination. I am very pleased that there are two workouts on the DVD letting me move into a somewhat more challenging workout. But this isn't for fit adults. - posted by Janice on 11/18/2010

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

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.
