I was just wondering that same thing myself before I got home from a meeting I had to go to tonight. Please help us……I want a good exercise video for our age and I also have some knee problems, arthritis in my legs (although it’s very manageable) and even have some foot problems. Thanks……
I know what you mean. I have sweated it out a thousand times and still am not seeing great results. So I have decided to try what makes me feel good. And I think I found it. YOGA! Now, don’t scream at me yet. I found a DVD that is for ME and MY BODY. it is called ‘yoga, for the body you have right now.’ The lady who does it is very overweight, but I have found the actual stretching of the yoga makes me feel wonderful! I am doing a few of the yoga positions as I go, but none of them are impossible with MY body and MY age. And there is no sweet little 20 year old dancer doing them and making feel like crap because I can’t lift by feet around my neck. Look on Amazon. That is where I found it. I also found Plus Size Pilates. I haven’t tried it yet…..will keep you posted if you are interested!
The problem with yoga (for me) is that they want you to sit on the floor, and I can’t because of my back. I happened to notice in the activities portion of the local paper, a class for chair yoga. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go that night. Have you ever heard of this? I’d appreciate it if you have some information on this. Glad you found something that works for you.
Thank you Shirlbenn for your advice. It is well appreciated. Yes, I am interested and would like 4 you 2 keep me posted. Have a great weekend !!!
If you have a YMCA close they provide some wonderful alternatives. They have SilverStreakers the over 50 group has Yoga stretch which can be done sitting and a couple of Aqua exercise programs. They have pilates and several other programs. Cost to join is reasonable. Check it out!
Thank you Bekah, I am interested in checking out what the YMCA has 2 offer. I like the fact that the cost 2 join is reasonable, especially in this economy. I will also inquire about senior discounts while I’m at it. Thanks 2 women such as yourself, I am sooooooooooo glad I found this website.
I have found a great site online ….”Mind Body and Spirit Fitness” I have started the low impact yoga for beginners, I feel great and not sore. Here is the link……
