Certified instructor description: Four very gentle stretch and tone workouts by PBS’s Mary Ann Wilson. They’re designed to increase flexibility, improve balance, increase joint mobility and build strength. To maximize variety and motivation, each program is a little different. These all-seated moves range from simple body rotations and finger exercises to easy variations of classic toning routines (e.g. isometric core exercises or dumbbell bicep curls). Mary Ann’s cuing is always clear and supportive, never condescending. Soundtrack includes classical music, marches and Swing tunes. The DVD comes with a resistance band. A few exercises also use 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells and a golf ball-size ball. ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Sit and Be Fit: Season Ten

I can't believe it worked!

I need to exercise to keep glucose level at a reasonable number. I am type II Diabetic. Because of problems with my left knee, I couldn't do my Leslie Sansone DVD's. I am unemployed and don't want surgery. My medical insurance has their nurse call every month. She commented that it seemed to her that my balance was being affected - I had to wear a knee brace all the time. Why didn't I try a Sit and Be Fit DVD? I knew of them, but had never tried. And Lo and behold if it didn't take the pain - Like a pinching pain - away. I guess I have babied my left side so much my muscles weren't doing anything. The DVD is easy to do. Even if you get messed up on one side, you just keep moving that leg, knee, foot, or whatever part is being exercised at the moment. I am taking it slow to get back to my regular DVD's. But I was able to one 30 minute DVD for the first time in two years. Now I am getting ready to try again. I really am impressed with Mary Ann Wilson. Now I want more of her DVD's. Thank you Collage Video for being there for us. Keep me on your list!! - posted by KAREN on 2/17/2012

Easy and fun

I bought this workout for my mother who is elderly and has recently injured her back. Before her injury she was lifting weights at a gym. The workout seems too easy for her really, but it has given her confidence and I think she will continue to use it until she is able to return to her previous routine. - posted by Margaret on 12/30/2011

Truly Helps

I've been disabled for 16 years and in pain constantly. Since I started doing these workouts my pain level has come down and I have been able to move a little more easily, it truly does help. I haven't been at it for very long, but I have high hopes for further improvements. You have to start off at a slow and easy pace so you don't hurt yourself, but be patient, it truly helps. Thank You!!! - posted by napabigjim on 12/12/2011

Needs to be in HD

Love Mary Ann Wilson and her positive attitude. See her on PBS often. The issues are with the production. These videos were made for the old format. On my HD screen, the images are fuzzy and the sound is not clear. Please remaster these in High Definition. - posted by Deborah on 8/4/2011

Good video for older folks

My husband and I purchased this video for his parents. They are in their 70's and 80's. They have used the video for about a month now. They both really enjoy it and are happy there is a video out there that gives older people a good sensible workout. Thank you! - posted by Sandy on 10/14/2010

Easy To Follow But Boring.

We found this video to be very boring. Would not purchase more of this series. - posted by Cindy on 5/28/2010

A good first step to greater mobility

Just did my first session from this video. Have a lot of arthritis, but know I have to do something to maintain/increase my mobility. The CD gave me more of a workout than I'd expected. I was quite pleased. Very clear and easy to follow. - posted by Joan on 5/6/2010

Mary Ann is awesome

I gave a Mary Ann Sit and be Fit DVD to a neighbor recovering from a stroke and it has worked wonders for her. My neighbor says it's not just the chair exercises and stretches that do the trick - it's Mary Ann's quiet encouragement that makes exercise seem doable for mobility-challenged folk. Highly recommended! - posted by Susan W. on 1/30/2010

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).

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.

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.
