This is a great workout for the mobility impaired-- the exercises are done at a good pace, slow enough to follow, but fast enough to make you work. All the exercises are performed sitting. There are some leg exercises, but those unable to move their legs at all could skip those and replay the upper body exercises.
It's also a very flexible workout: the DVD is divided into a 20 minute exercise section, preceded by a five min warmup & a five min cool down. This provides a nice, fast half-hour for those in a hurry. But parts can easily be replayed for a longer workout; I usually do the 20 minute exercise section twice. You can also rewind to do additional reps of particular exercises, use heavier or lighter dumbbells, or do some of the exercises while seated on a balance ball. Sunshine uses dumbbells mainly for the upper-body exercises in the first half of the exercise section; for more exertion, I place my dumbbells longways along my thighs to do the leg exercises in the second half as well.
The sunny beach setting for the tape is great. The music is also upbeat, generic and cheerful. The music could possibly start to get old after several uses; but at that point you would be familiar enough with the routine that you could mute the sound and play your own music if you wanted. All in all, a great way to help stay fit for people with mobility impairments, at a really great price.
Note: It also comes in a VHS format if you don't have a dvd player.

I am significantly overweight and trying hard to change that, but the limits of my body prohibit me from standing still for long periods of time. This excludes me from doing many extended, standing routines with dumbbells.
The tape's order is:
1) Warm-up calisthenics
2) About 8 minutes of actual lifting with dumbbells. The fact that this is a seniors and rehab video does not make it necessarily "easy." I used two two-pound dumbbells also bought from Amazon and it definitely causes you to feel the burn. Valeo HW2 2-Pound Neoprene Hand Weights
Obviously any weight dumbbells appropriate for your strength level should be chosen.
3) Calisthenics on the legs. This is sometimes challenging, but not exhausting and definitely helpful.
4) Cool-down calisthenics.
5) Relaxation with affirmations and beautiful imagery.
Sunshine is an encouraging instructor who doesn't offer unnecessary chatter. I highly recommend this video for anyone looking to safely strengthen their body and better tone their arms and legs.

Take one old lady, very stiff, much too heavy weight-wise, with breathing problems.
It's not pretty when I want to exercise. Loose, comfortable clothing a MUST.
First, I have to wake up! Giant cups of coffee anyone? Whoops... almost forgot to let the dogs out! Then, I have to pry my eyes open... and shuffle to the chair. Moaning and groaning, I reach down beside the chair for those dumb dumbbells ... I use the pretty pink 1 lb. ones... to avoid strain.
Next, I locate the cell phone, the kindle and the computer and check their charges and plug in when necessary. Of course that's all right beside my chair! I believe in efficiency!
Finally... after a final petting of the dogs and a shifting around... lightly stretching my arms and toes and ankles... very lightly I might add... I look for the remote. Ah... there it is! I'm leaving this exercise DVD in the DVD player all the time.
Whoa.... slow down... I can't go that fast! Okay, okay... I'll do it. Whoops... are my arms jiggling again? Wiggle, wiggle. Groan and moan.
It's not pretty, but actually using the DVD on a fairly consistent basis is helping me with self-esteem issues too... after all, I am working to improve my body and health! And it is honestly helping me.
I highly recommend this DVD... and I promise I'm not seen anywhere on it! <grin>
Seniors / Elderly Sitting Lightweight / Dumbbells Exercises for Strength, Rehab & Physical Therapy. This Seniors Light weights dumbbells fitness DVD is Good also for Easy Osteoporosis Exercises, Diabetes Exercises, Arthritis Exercises, Alzheimer's Exerc...
Oh, yes... I almost forgot... the instructions are fairly easy to follow... and you can customize your exercise to suit your physical self.
I also recommend getting some of those stretchy exercise bands... you know... the ones that come in colors? Like 3 Exercise Bands (Low, Medium, Heavy) and Door Anchor You can remain seated and step on one end and GENTLY pull. Remember this is supposed to be Lightweight exercise... pain isn't allowed!
The good news is that you can buy the dvd, some light weights and some exercise bands all from the comfort of your chair by shopping online at Amazon! And it can all be delivered directly to your door... avoiding that pesky extra exercise of walking into the store and back.
Good luck with your exercise plan... mine is working great!
