Coming of Age with Class
Jane Fonda's new DVD is a tribute to the benefits of exercise and a healthy diet. She started producing exercise videos since the early 80s and she is now in her early 70s and is still at it. Obviously from her appearance (lean and very trim) in this DVD, her exercise programs work.
This DVD targets the mature crowd, and is well paced for persons within their 60s and 70s (as well as persons who may be recovering from an accident). Her instructions are given with the care and attention that elders deserve. Her calm voice encourages the viewer along throughout all of the paces. You get the feeling that she is really concerned about your well-being.
This workout has been thoughtfully broken down into 2 levels, each about 25 minutes long so as not to over stress the body. Level 1, is pretty easy and serves as a sort of preparation/introductory level. While Level 2 is just a tad more challenging and optionally incorporates the use of hand weights in order to tone and sustain muscle mass while burning off the fat.
The workouts cover all the major muscle groups, and focuses on a safe, well-aligned, low-impact body workout that will generally improve your sense of well-being. Thanks Jane!
