Excellent for inactive person to begin again
Because of chronic health issues including charcot feet I cannot "go for a walk" as pressure on my feet, a fall, any little thing can result in bone fractures that do not heal properly. I have tried using gym equipment and taking classes for people with arthritis buthave always triggered bursitis or some other painful reaction/injury. I found with "SIT & BE FIT" that I had some mild muscle sorenessin a couple of spots it was nothing serious. I was also using a 3# hand weight the first time which I put aside for the time being. I amhappy with this video as I believe it will keep me from doing too much too soon resulting in injury. For now, it is where I am and it isa challenge.

What a great product and idea
She does a wonderful job making all the exercises easy to do, even if you are totally out of shape.And they are not boring because she changes the moves every few seconds. Excellent and highly recommended.

awful and worthless to me
This is garbage . First of all the hand and feet segments are with a large and small ball. Do you see a large and small ball on the cover to indicate this NO you do not. I dont have a large and small ball and do not intend to buy one. I specifically bought this as a chair exercise as indicated by the title "sit adn fit" and the picture of the women in a chair/ But thee she is doing standing stretches including lunge position stretches putting weight on bended knee. The whole reason for buying a chair excersise is to NOT put weight on my already aching knees. The quality is cheap There is really annoying I mean really annoying cheap music overdubbed. There is a supposed menu but once in a segment the only way out it to eject the disk and reload it. I lan to return this as a substandard product.

Very good activity, excellent encouragement.
God bless this woman. She has been lifting spirits of those fighting for mobility and increased strength for years. She's makes the workouts entirely do-able in a chair, but even a fit person who does not need so much chair activity, can get a sweat and a smile out out of this. Her voice and encouragement are pleasing - not annoying and hyper. This is a fine series of exercise dvd's, especially if you are restricted and a little down about it. She'll pick you right up. I am not a geriatric person, just disabled...and I find her to be appealing to all ages. p.s. double check, some workouts call for a few props - specific sized balls, light weights, and a long towel/band for lifting legs.
