Summary: "Great workout for people with limitations or anybody!"

I bought this DVD because I've suffered from degenerative arthritis for 40 years and I'm only 56 years old. I already have compression in my spine and most of my joints are also affected. I want to be able to stay as active as I can for many years. I tried a couple of other DVD's and they were outdated and I just didn't care for them. I love Anne's approach to exercise and the music, atmosphere and her voice are very soothing. I would definitely purchase another DVD of Anne's because I like her style and she shows you alternatives if you can't do the typical exercise as it's shown. I have recommended this DVD to at least 6 people since I purchased mine and they love it too.

Summary: "Mom loves this!"

My 72 year old mother, who has a bad knee, hip, and back, absolutely loves this set of DVD workouts. Mom is able to do the exercises without fear of loosing her balance and falling. She thinks the trainer's voice is very soothing and looks forward to her daily exercise.

Summary: "Great Senior Exercise"

Didn't realize how out of shape I am. This was easy to follow, simple stretches but I was a bit sore the next day (out-of-shape). I felt great when I was finished and would easily recommend to a friend. No stress on joints and is just what I'm looking for at this time.

Summary: "Good DVD set"

I just finished watching this DVD set. Additionally, I tried doing a few of the exercises. Already I believe that this DVD workout set will be of great benefit to me. Since I am very, very out of shape (partly due to nutritional problems and partly due to months of bedrest), I will have to "work up" to doing a full DVD session. At present I have little to no stamina, and it is a struggle even to walk from one room in my home to another. Standing up for more than a minute and going up stairs are both very, very difficult for me. I am confident, however, that these exercises will help me regain strength and stamina. Since I have osteoarthritis in my knees, it is ideal that most of the exercises may be performed while sitting down. I find the pace of the video, the music, and Anne's personality and teaching very pleasant and helpful. The seniors featured in the DVDs are just great also. There were a couple of the exercises I tried that caused some discomfort due to my having rotator cuff injuries. However, when I felt the discomfort, I just quit and skipped that exercise. The other exercises seemed to be fine though, and I could feel those muscles working. It is also nice that there is very little additional equipment needed -- only a sturdy chair and a small hand weight. You can even substitute a soup can for the hand weight. Great DVDs!
