This review is from: Seniors Exercise DVD: Senior / Elderly Easy Pilates Exercises DVD. Easy PILATES Exercises for Strength, Rehab & Physical Therapy. This Seniors Fitness DVD is Good also for Easy Osteoporosis Exercises, Diabetes Exercises, Arthritis Exercises, Alzheimer's Exercises DVD. Sunshine is a Certified AARP Trainer by ACE, The American Council on Exercise. (DVD)

This is a simple, easy, exercise DVD for seniors. The DVD has simple easy sitting exercises that are easy to do, and the 2nd part has lower body exercises that are done standing while holding a chair.
After using this DVD for just a few weeks I have gained more strength, flexibility and joint mobility. Filmed on the Beach, Sunshine is always smiling, showing proper form and the exercises are easy for me to follow. The pace is slow & relaxed.
If you want a simple easy exercise DVD that will keep you fit --this is it! I can honestly say that this is the best exercise DVD for seniors & the elderly.It has a warm up, a cool down stretching segment and a relaxation segment with breathing exercises. After I finish this simple easy seniors exercise workout, I am energized and feel that my Health has improved a lot.
This is the Best Exercise DVD for anyone that wants to do simple easy weightless Pilate's and Isometric exercises. I highly recommend this Exercise DVD to all Seniors & Elderly.

Nice program. My mom has alzheimers and so she gets confused real easy. This program is not so fast that it overwhelms her. She may not do each exercise correctly but she trys AND she enjoys it. I aslo use the program with her and it is a pretty good workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its Great Easy Exercise DVD, April 7, 2006

I bought this Easy Exercises-Isometrics, Pilates, & Stretching with Sunshine DVD and it's Great! It's the first Exercise Video that I've found that I can follow along with. If I try to keep up with the faster paced videos, I can only do half of an exercise or miss some of the exercises and you can injure yourself.

I'm not a senior, but I have back problems now and then and I can't bend myself like a pretzel. I've been using your video for 2 months now and I'm able to do every exercise.

I like the positive comments and affirmations and always look forward to using this DVD which makes my workout a positive experience!
