Summary: "Great Instructor"

I purchased this DVD set for our senior building - we are a mix of independent living seniors and assisted living seniors and our exercise participants have a wide range of strength and abilities. I am very impressed with the sessions. Our residents find Anne very easy to follow and understand. While the workouts leave them feeling like they've just exerted themselves, they haven't expressed that the exercises are too difficult or strenuous on them.

Our residents are used to exercising for 30 minutes at a stretch so I think the 45 and 50 minute timeframes are a bit of an adjustment - and perhaps a little long - for them, but they're able to complete the whole workout just the same. I also was slightly disappointed to learn that there are standing exercises at the end of the strengthening DVD; I was under the impression that the whole workout was done from a seated position. Some of the standing exercises seem to be somewhat difficult for someone with poor balance.

Overall, I think Anne Pringle Burnell does a fabulous job with her Stonger Seniors series and would recommend this series to anyone!

Summary: "Great workout for people with limitations or anybody!"

I bought this DVD because I've suffered from degenerative arthritis for 40 years and I'm only 56 years old. I already have compression in my spine and most of my joints are also affected. I want to be able to stay as active as I can for many years. I tried a couple of other DVD's and they were outdated and I just didn't care for them. I love Anne's approach to exercise and the music, atmosphere and her voice are very soothing. I would definitely purchase another DVD of Anne's because I like her style and she shows you alternatives if you can't do the typical exercise as it's shown. I have recommended this DVD to at least 6 people since I purchased mine and they love it too.

Summary: "Mom loves this!"

My 72 year old mother, who has a bad knee, hip, and back, absolutely loves this set of DVD workouts. Mom is able to do the exercises without fear of loosing her balance and falling. She thinks the trainer's voice is very soothing and looks forward to her daily exercise.

Summary: "Great Senior Exercise"

Didn't realize how out of shape I am. This was easy to follow, simple stretches but I was a bit sore the next day (out-of-shape). I felt great when I was finished and would easily recommend to a friend. No stress on joints and is just what I'm looking for at this time.
