Certified instructor description: A mostly-seated workout led by a very caring instructor — PBS’s Mary Ann Wilson. These classic routines offer a great way for anyone to stretch and tone their entire body. The variety is super-motivating — each series features different movements accompanied by different instrumental music (e.g. Polka, Sousa marches, even Irish jigs). Mary Ann emphasizes proper form and safe technique (“only go as far as you can”). A nine-minute segment is done standing next to the chair, but she also shows sitting modifications. The workout ends with an optional set of seated exercises that use 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells. ©2006. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Sit and Be Fit: Season Eight

Excellent Review of previous videos

This video reviews many of MaryAnn's best exercises from her 8 previous videos. Excellent! I use it with a group of 5 ladies--ages 78-91 and they love it. We meet twice a week and we do EASY DOES IT, (another top-notch workout not too fast and great repetition of each move) one day a week and then MaryAnn's the other day. Wonderful balance--they are different! We are doing well with both these exercises, and they are each about 50 minutes long--just right! - posted by Marilyn on 3/4/2011

Better than those tried so far

I like this workout better than the other sit videos I have purchased and I find her voice more pleasing to listen to. I would like to have a faster paced workout by Mary Ann that is mostly standing for those of us who can get around pretty good. I now see that she has 11 more videos so I am going to check those out. This sit and be fit is pretty good but not exactly what I'm looking for. - posted by sarge on 10/8/2010

A thorough, fun, entertaining, doable workout!

Mary Ann is fun! She's spunky and I always have a smile on my face while getting fit to her wonderful cueing. This selection has strength training segments on it also. Definitely a winner! - posted by Karen on 7/1/2010

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.
