My sister bought this for our 80 year Mom since her doctor said that she has to start moving.... I did it with her and I love it!!! I grabbed a couple of hand weights and away we went.

I love it so much that I bought a copy for myself and I am only 45 yrs old and have been working with trainer for 6 months now. It is the perfect "couch potato" workout and I will do it while I am watching the news at night in addition to my other workout routines...

I feel that it has a well rounded set of stretches and exercises with a nice relaxing cooldown. All are performed from a seated position, which is what I was looking for.

Like another reviewer,I purchased this video for a parent. I did the video first to make sure it would be safe for her. Based on the cover,I was afraid that Sunshine might be a hyperperky, high-pitched cheerleader. She is not. Although she does perform every exercise without losing the smile that you see on the cover, she passively narrates the video and I find her voice quite soothing. There are visual cues to remind you to Breathe and a little sun displays when you are on the last exercise of a set (OK, admittedly a little hokey but I think it's useful for elderly or hearing impaired).

She does not offer modifications of any of the exercises (so the exerciser needs to be able to do this themselves), but she chooses simple, relatively easy exercises, so I think it was a good decision. For the purpose of this video I think offering modifications might make it choppy and potentially confusing for the target audience (older and/or rehab patients).

Slight criticism is that when she does the torso twists, I wish she would pause in the center (right, center, left, center) instead of going directly right and left but that is a modification I will discuss with my Mom.
