Sit and Be Fit: Neuro Rehab Workout

Great Neuro Workout

I have motor neuropathy so moving isn't the easiest thing for me to do. This video was challenging in ways that I didn't expect. Simple moves such as turning one's arms to the side while breathing in- these don't sound taxing until I try to do them. It's very well specified to Neuro disorders and illnesses. Mary has done her homework well on what moves are needed. The standing portion was scary for me so I would absolutely recommend having a spotter (just like Mary says in the video). I tried to 'tough it out' and almost ended up on the floor. After doing the workout several times, the standing portion became easier. The finger exercises are wonderful and feel good. Mary does call for the use of a golf ball. No one I know golfs so I substituted a kitty jingle ball and that worked fine. There is a towel required for a section as well. The most interesting segment, for me, was on facial expressions. It was fun to do and fun to watch Mary try not to laugh as she enjoyed leading the workout. It makes me smile every time I do them. After a few weeks of doing the workouts I notice that I am emoting more in my facial expressions and when I'm not- I can tell and reschool my features. The segment on pelvic floor muscles is challenging and very helpful. I scoffed at the idea of needing these exercises and now I know how invaluable they are. Worth the ten minutes it takes. The overall workout is not quite as exuberant as the regular SABF programs on PBS. It's more laid back and I think that's a good choice. It's difficult to keep up with fast movements when one is dealing with a Neurological issue. I only felt discouraged once or twice, normally during the finger exercises and standing exercises. When I do get down, I remember what Mary says in the first five minutes of the DVD: 'Neurons fire whether we can do the movement or not, so keep trying and eventually you might be able to do them'. So I keep trying and definitely feel better thanks to this workout. - posted by Jen on 4/21/2011

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).

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.
