Buy Stretching for Seniors at Amazon
I have arthritis, including in my back and neck. The moves she does would injure me if I tried them. Her pacing is way too fast; to really stretch you must hold the stretch and she just runs through it like a dance. The routine really is for a dancer, not a senior who has been sedentary which is how they advertise it. If you’re like me, try another video,like Keeping Fit in Your 50s.
I would never have taken up stretching until my wife purchased Stretching for Seniors. I think the stretches Ann portrays are ones that almost any poerson can do comfortably. The exercises also are very graceful and make you want to be graceful along with them. I do them every morning and don’t have the desire to find an excuse for not doing them everyday. I have never been a person who likes to exercise so Ann’s program is exactly what a person like me needs. I urge you to buy it. The only reason I didn’t give the DVD a five star rating is because I think that the material is organized in the wrong sequence. I think the insruction should have been first and the daily exercise routine second.
This 30 minute DVD is really only a 10 minute program. It is well suited for 17-year-old Olympic ice skaters and experienced ballet dancers.
