I am 83 and stopped going to my Silver Sneakers class at the local YMCA because of Covid. Then I found your TH-cam. I have been doing it many, many mornings over a lot of months. You may have made it in 2015, but many of us have been ushered out of our pandemic chairs because of you. I appreciate that it exercises all the different muscles. Sheila Scott 5-17-22
Finally! A wonderful workout. Since the Pandemic, I have neglected my exercise. Jolene, your workout made me feel so much better. I am 71 years old and am the caregiver for my husband. I want to stay strong. God bless you and thank you very much. Please keep up the wonderful and helpful work.
First of all, this is an excellent class & video. Secondly, why on earth would ANYONE give this video a thumbs down? Is it because it wasn't what you were searching for? Because the title of the video is Senior Fitness, and in addition to the instructor doing an excellent job, my gosh people, she's getting seniors to move, have fun, and add days & hopefully years to their life. To give this video even one thumbs down, when obviously this group is doing what was intended, is just ridiculous! Nice job Instructor Jolene! ;-)
Fantastic workout Jolene! The residents at our community LOVED your video and all of the different exercises you did. Would love to have more of your videos. THANK YOU!!
We are doing amazing things for our senior community with SS!!! If no one has told you today, YOU ARE A BLESSING!!! I am a SS instructor in my area.... with very little SS training but lots of Zumba training. Thank you for a great outline of the class. I hope some of our Seniors find videos like these and realize our classes are for everyone!!!! All fitness levels, all ages, all sizes, all abilities, in a chair, out of a chair.... you get the idea ;) GREAT JOB!!!
Greetings Jolene, About a year ago I started attending Silver Sneakers programs offered at the Rec Center of Miami University, in Ohio. Some days weren't good for getting to the classes. I turned to TH-cam. What a discovery! After 45 minutes with you I feel I've had a good exercise, with stretching and cardio and your smile. Oh, I don't want to forget the hot pink sneakers. One additional great advantage, you can join me in my travels. Thanks for putting this on TH-cam, all 45 minutes of the class.
I am a Health and Fitness Director and had to step in to teach a Senior Chair Yoga class and I was very much out of my element. I looked up TH-cam videos and watched yours for ideas/inspiration. I wanted to thank you so much because your warm up/choreography helped me complete the class with ease this morning. Keep up the great work!!!
This video has helped me so much! I can do it in my home at anytime. This has made all the difference in being able to regain strength, endurance and even improved my balance. Thank you!
fitbyfaith That is such a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much! I filmed this for my evaluation and made it public so my "reviewer" could see it. Then I forgot to take it down. But now so many people have watched it, I decided to leave it up and see if it could help others (people who need a gentle workout could do it at home) or other instructors could get ideas. :) Thank you so much!
Jolene Berke I have been teaching since 2008 and it has been such a rewarding experience. You hit every single point required by SS< you kept it flowing and your personality is great! Many videos I have seen on youtube put me to sleep! Keep up the great work!
I can't tell you how much your video has meant to me! I was in Silver Sneakers at our local Y, but the instructor left town and no one since then has had the SS training - just general fitness (for YOUNG people!). I'm so thrilled to find your video. Thank you!
Thanks you so much Jolene. I found your video today and it made my day! Just getting back in to exercise as a senior, this is encouraging. I am sending this link to my sister. Your instructions are fabulous. Some seniors can't get out and this is a great alternative. Uplifting music and great instructions. Thanks soooo much! Blessings and a great big hug! ☺😃😄
Yes you did an amazing job but that's not the kind of exercising that I want to do even though I am senior citizen I want weightlifting training to get in in shape. I need a diet and exercises that will help me lose weight that kind of size will do anything for me
I'm so happy I found this video! I'm training as a SS instructor and I've learned so much from watching you. Your instructions are so clear and comfortable, but even more, your personality is wonderfully friendly, warm and energetic. You have a very welcoming and encouraging quality to you! Great routine, too. Would love you to post more!
Frustrating at Y. Their SS classes are either too slow for me or I can't keep up:) was thrilled to find this, thinking there was nothing just in the middle. They are supposed to be starting a new program but they can't beat this. Maybe I'll introduce them to the way a class should be. Thank you so much for posting this for whatever the reason. God bless you. You are awesome!
I have used this silver sneakers video off and on fora long time and asking what other ones you might recommend for me. Thanks! Your videos are great ....easy to keep up with yoy!
I'm newly certified for SS Classic and I loved this video it was perfect and I saved it to use for practicing, Just need to get the songs written down so that I can use the same ones.
I am also training as a SS instructor and you are awesome! Your instructions are so clear, your personality is so friendly. This is one of the best exercise videos I've seen. Thank you for sharing.
I just did my SS training and am seeking out good videos for improving my knowledge and ability to lead my class. Yours is a terrific example. Thanks for posting it!
This is a great video I really enjoyed this. Now I think I can handle this. I don't really like work outs that rush through & expect you to just get it right away. This was perfect.
Love your video! You are a great instructor. Well done. Also one of the best I have seen on UTube. Keep it up! and keep posting! And yes the gentleman in the blue, just love him! Amen!
I am excited that I can easily do your you tube at home when I cannot attend my SS classes at the gym. I have watched other SS you tubes on my computer and none compare to yours. Very charming, just great!
This is wonderful! I just starting my SilverSneakers classes and this is a great workout. New things from what I observed at the gym with other instructors. Thank you for posting. You've given me wonderful ideas!
Was able to do most of this standing except weights on the knees and ball between the knees. Tried to march most of the time while standing. Worked great!
+Laurie Becker That is so cool, Laurie! I love that! Keep up the GREAT work! :) And as you feel stronger - do the whole class standing - maybe you can eliminate the chair all together and do the moves standing! That's a way to continue on in the workout but make it a bit harder. You can also (of course) use heavier dumbbells and resistance bands! :) Great job!
So smart, Pat! You can also "level up" by trying some moves without a chair, and of course keep getting heavier dumbbells, and stronger resistance bands! Yes, replacing the ball at the end with a weighted ball or dumbbells adds intensity as well! Great job! :)
. . . I love Silver Snickers in Stockton, CA. In addition to the good exercise, I have make good friends. Since the C-19 quarantine, S.S. is closed, and I miss it.
What a vido I Love it. I have been looking for something like this. I had a heart operation (Cabbage3) stents and now a pacemaker/ICD a year ago and now ready to do this. We have no silver sneakers around here so this is my God send. What I need is to know is what do I use for the weights, bands, and ball Where do I get them and what size are used. Thanking you in advance.
Hi Anna! You can pick up your bands and ball from this link: silversneakers.orders.com/store/catalog/01-07002233-Equipment And you can get dumbbells at any Target or Walmart. I'd start with the lightest / easiest band (yellow) and the lightest dumbbells (1, 2 or 3#) just to start with and then you can grow from there! Good luck! :)
I'm a SS user at my local Y. But it's at 11:30. Not good for me. Your video was great. If you ever do it again, it would be nice to see some younger seniors in your group. I admire everyone that is in the video. Keep up the good work
+Laurie Becker Just did a quick google search and typed in "low impact aerobics free online" and got several hits. I really like Fitness Blender. Here is an example of their workout: th-cam.com/video/AoZsTarI9uA/w-d-xo.html I think it looks doable! Just modify anytime you need it to be easier. :) Revelation Wellness is awesome! They have an online subscription program for $10/month and have a TON of variety. However, if you look up "Revelation Wellness Chair" on TH-cam you will find quite a few there for free! Here is a link I quickly looked up on TH-cam from Revelation Wellness Chair: th-cam.com/video/UTZODE16WPU/w-d-xo.html - GOOD LUCK! Let me know how it goes for you!
+Jasmine Jazzie J The YMCA where I work buys all the CD's. We just make sure they are actual Silver Sneakers CD's. You can google Silver Sneakers CDs and get a ton of hits on the internet. You can buy from many places. Just get CD's with BPM of around 124-128. My seniors love the oldies! Hope this helps!
Just found your video. Love it!!! Thanks so much! Is there anyway to get a copy of it? Too big a file to download even if I knew how. I am now teaching seniors of all abilities and this instruction is great. Love the clear cues and the encouraging comments!
+Cathy Andrew Hi Cathy! I'm so glad you love it. Right now I am not selling or making any DVD's. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know. I'd be happy to mail one if you covered the cost of shipping. So glad you can get some good ideas. Now YOU make a video for ME! :)
Yes, this is my only one! :) I made it for my annual "test" to ensure I am teaching correctly. My "reviewer" couldn't make it to see me live, so I did this video for her to review me! I stuck it on TH-cam and forgot about it and it's kind of taken on a life of it's own! Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Hi Pat! I just emailed our Y director and asked. I'm really not sure. It's just what I use when I teach there. It has a battery pack and the ear phones are connected to the battery pack with a cord. Some instructors use a mic belt, but I just clip the mic pack onto the back of my pants! So it looks wireless in the video, but it is connected with a cord to the battery pack! I'll get details and reply again! :)
@Pat Millhoff The Y I work for orders from AVNow. They are wireless microphones that are compatible with a SHURE battery pack. It is an E-MIC Advantage Headset.
I am a beginning SilverSneakers instructor and have enjoyed watching this video and absolutely love the music. Definitely gonna purchase this one, thanks!
I'm sure you did very well on your review......I have one coming up this week. Love your routines! I've heard my evaluator is a tough one (awk!). Hope all goes well. Any tips? :)Annie
+Ann B Thank you, Ann! The first few "reviews" I had, I made cue cards and put them on the wall in the back of the room. That way I wouldn't forget anything! :) Make sure you don't do anything contraindicated. I got docked my very first review, because I leaned down between my legs to pick up my ball (without thinking) instead of step, support, reach. This video I actually got docked because I didn't explain the perceived exertion chart at the beginning of the class. I DID explain it. Just off the video. And my "reviewer" didn't "see" that on the video, so she docked me. She also docked me because I left the dumbbell on their laps while we did triceps extensions. She said that was dangerous. So I switched how I teach that move. Those are all the helpful tips I have! :) Good luck! Mostly just relax and be YOU!
+Jolene Berke Thanks so much Jolene! I never thought of cards on wall! Excellent idea!!!! That is what I worry about -forgetting something important! Maybe they could just hold the other dumbbell on their lap with other hand and do the triceps each side????? I wonder how hard it is to "fail" lol...........I am usually cool as a cucumber until someone with a clip board is around! I remember that at my AFAA exam. I passed the practical with flying colors, but everytime the clip board was near, I started doubting myself and losing concentration. :)
+Ann B P.S. I also wondered about your ball between legs with your hand coordination part..........if they thought too many reps for legs (although the ball is fairly light work). I'm more used to younger people with less rules and regulations! lol
+Ann B I wish the other lady at the Y never told me that the reviewer was really tough! I keep thinking through everything and over analyzing. I hope I can come across cool and collected like you do! I am so glad you posted this and are willing to share your experience!!! Makes us Newbs have more to look at than the one master class they put up. :)
I don't sell DVD's. I am just a regular old person teaching classes at the Y! :) There might be a way to save this video onto your computer and then put it on a DVD. I bet there is a way. Ask any teenager or college student - haha! I bet they know how! Just did a quick google search and there are many links similar to this one: www.winxdvd.com/resource/youtube-to-dvd.htm Good luck! :)
I am 83 and stopped going to my Silver Sneakers class at the local YMCA because of Covid. Then I found your TH-cam. I have been doing it many, many mornings over a lot of months.

Thanks YMCA to help us very good health. We are 79 -82 years old. I hope to see you soon.
My favorite. You are awesome, Jolene. Passed your video on to all my friends and family.
Finally! A wonderful workout. Since the Pandemic, I have neglected my exercise. Jolene, your workout made me feel so much better. I am 71 years old and am the caregiver for my husband. I want to stay strong. God bless you and thank you very much. Please keep up the wonderful and helpful work.
This is the best silver sneakers video ! Fantastic if you want to work out at home. Thanks so much for posting this!

That is so great to hear! I'm sure you did great! :)
I am 57 years old, and have Fibromyalgia so exercise is difficult. THIS is perfect!! Thank you!
Excellent Video and presentation! Thank you so much for sharing.
Fantastic job!! I will be teaching for the first time next week. This helps me a great deal. Thank You.
By far the best silver sneakers workout ever!
I'm so glad you're camera was working, too! You did an excellent job! As a SS instructor, I was able to get some fresh ideas from you! Thank you!
I LOVE ❤️ this video and have watched it several times. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
This video has helped me so much! I can do it in my home at anytime. This has made all the difference in being able to regain strength, endurance and even improved my balance. Thank you!
During this pandemic you are saving me! Thank you for keeping me moving.
I’m a new instructor and love this video! Very helpful! Thank you for leaving it public!
I am a SS instructor too and this is one of the best videos I have seen to date. You did a fabulous job!
fitbyfaith That is such a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much! I filmed this for my evaluation and made it public so my "reviewer" could see it. Then I forgot to take it down.

fitbyfaith and the man in the blue shorts and shirt with white beard is so fun to watch :)
fitbyfaith Everyone comments on him! He is a real character! Drives 45 minutes to get to my class! Love him! :)
Jolene Berke I have been teaching since 2008 and it has been such a rewarding experience. You hit every single point required by SS< you kept it flowing and your personality is great! Many videos I have seen on youtube put me to sleep! Keep up the great work!
Absolutely love this video!! Will definitely use it regularly.

Thank you for those kind words! I am happy you're getting some benefits from it! I do love teaching it and love the people I get to work out with!
You are doing a great job! Looks like a lot of fun. Wish you were in the Phoenix area. Keep up the great work in motivating the seniors!
been looking for something to do when I cant make class on certain days Love the instructor and format. Best SS exercise viddeo Better than the SS DVD
Thanks you so much Jolene. I found your video today and it made my day! Just getting back in to exercise as a senior, this is encouraging. I am sending this link to my sister. Your instructions are fabulous. Some seniors can't get out and this is a great alternative. Uplifting music and great instructions. Thanks soooo much! Blessings and a great big hug! ☺😃😄
I just started with this video and I love the way Jolene does the workout, something I could really get into... thank you
I am a Extend (UK)Instructor and I loved your video, certainly one of the best on here x
+Anita Hill Thank you so much for the kind words!
You are a wonderful instructor! Great interaction with your students and excellent cueing. Thank you for sharing.
Yes you did an amazing job but that's not the kind of exercising that I want to do even though I am senior citizen I want weightlifting training to get in in shape. I need a diet and exercises that will help me lose weight that kind of size will do anything for me
Won't do anything for me but you are a amazing instructor.

This is great. Thanks.

Excellent tie in to adl's and spontaneous sync to music...I hope you're still instructing Jolene!
I have used this silver sneakers video off and on fora long time and asking what other ones you might recommend for me. Thanks! Your videos are great ....easy to keep up with yoy!
Loved it! Thanks for sharing your amazing job!
Jolene, so glad I found you again!! I love this video! thank you
Great instructions for anyone to follow, this will be my go to when I can't make it to class , Thank you !!
I'm newly certified for SS Classic and I loved this video it was perfect and I saved it to use for practicing, Just need to get the songs written down so that I can use the same ones.
It's a Silver Sneakers branded CD, I believe. Google Silver Sneakers CD and you should be able to find this exact one! Good luck!
I am also training as a SS instructor and you are awesome! Your instructions are so clear, your personality is so friendly. This is one of the best exercise videos I've seen. Thank you for sharing.
+T Wms Thank you so much! Good luck with your training! When you love what you do....it shows! :)
Great video!! I'm going to steal a few of your moves. 😉
Can tell you love your students, and they love you. Great job - inspiring :)
I just wanted to thank you for this video. It had helped me get through this pandemic much healthier than when I started. Great overall workout.
Thanks. Going to try them all. Love the variety!
One of the best SS instructors I've seen! Nice job!
+Aaron Bolek Thank you, Aaron! This is my passion. I love seniors!
I just did my SS training and am seeking out good videos for improving my knowledge and ability to lead my class. Yours is a terrific example. Thanks for posting it!
You're welcome! Thank you!
You are my hero. Just starting my instruction, and your video helped me so much. I want yo be like you when I grow up. Ha ha I am 59😂
I love this video thank you for sharing!!!
This is a great video I really enjoyed this. Now I think I can handle this. I don't really like work outs that rush through & expect you to just get it right away. This was perfect.
Love your video! You are a great instructor. Well done. Also one of the best I have seen on UTube. Keep it up! and keep posting! And yes the gentleman in the blue, just love him! Amen!
+Lynn Becker Thank you so much! How kind! :) I love to teach seniors!
Great class. Glad I found you
Ok thanks and you did great one of the best videos Ive seen so far
+Jasmine Jazzie J That is so kind of you! Thank you very much!
I am excited that I can easily do your you tube at home when I cannot attend my SS classes at the gym. I have watched other SS you tubes on my computer and none compare to yours. Very charming, just great!
This is wonderful! I just starting my SilverSneakers classes and this is a great workout. New things from what I observed at the gym with other instructors. Thank you for posting. You've given me wonderful ideas!
+M Gregory Thank you! I love to teach seniors! So much fun!
I teach Silver Sneakers Classic 3 - 5 times a week. Great video - thanks - always love some new ideas!
+Liz Ridley Thanks, Liz! I love to teach this demographic! My favorite!
I think this video is great. She is easy to follow and it is a good exercise! I use this when i cannot get to a SS session!
would you be so kind as to share your songs/singers with me - I LOVE your class and how the music fits it so well! You're awesome!
Silver Sneakers Volume 4! :) www.amazon.com/SilverSneakers-Vol-Muscle-Mixes-Music/dp/B000WOYS2U
I've used your video so many times to teach my classes - you are truly amazing! Would you please consider adding more videos?
Was able to do most of this standing except weights on the knees and ball between the knees. Tried to march most of the time while standing. Worked great!
+Laurie Becker Excellent job! Way to level up! Proud of you! :)
great video workout for seniors. thank you
Thank you, this was my first time doing your class😉
Fantastic class thank you ❤
DOES THE Y PROVIDE WEIGHTS FOR USE?
Thank you so much. I have 40 in a big class and we run big fans. No one can hear.
The Y I work for orders from AVNow. They are wireless microphones that are compatible with a SHURE battery pack. It is an E-MIC Advantage Headset.
I am teaching silversneakers and felt this video was incredible. You are dynamic
Thank you so much! :)
Love the ball coordination near the end!
+Nancy Wilhelm Thank you, Nancy! I love putting patterns in for them to remember! So good for exercising their brains in addition to their bodies! :)
You are wonderful! :) thanks for sharing
I exercise with you 3-4 times a week. All my friends know what I mean when I say I'm exercising withe Jolene. I love it!
+Laurie Becker That is so cool, Laurie! I love that! Keep up the GREAT work! :) And as you feel stronger - do the whole class standing - maybe you can eliminate the chair all together and do the moves standing! That's a way to continue on in the workout but make it a bit harder. You can also (of course) use heavier dumbbells and resistance bands! :) Great job!
I love this work out because we pause often for water. And I replace the ball at
the end with a five pound weight for a better workout!
So smart, Pat! You can also "level up" by trying some moves without a chair, and of course keep getting heavier dumbbells, and stronger resistance bands! Yes, replacing the ball at the end with a weighted ball or dumbbells adds intensity as well! Great job! :)
Great class! What size weights are those? and where can I find that band and ball?
Loved the senior workout , check out Adams 2 minute fitness series for seniors @
Thanks for the info. Your workout is very good.
. . . I love Silver Snickers in Stockton, CA. In addition to the good exercise, I have make good friends. Since the C-19 quarantine, S.S. is closed, and I miss it.
How often should this workout be done? Every day or every other day?
I would say every other day! Maybe MWF! :)
great video. I also teach. I use much of your ideas. very nice...
Have you made Amy other videos?
very good job!!! Thanxs for sharing
I LOVE THIS. I JUST WISH THERE WAS CLOSED CAPTION BECAUSE I AM HARD OF HEARING.
Grate!!!! ❤️
What a vido I Love it. I have been looking for something like this. I had a heart operation (Cabbage3) stents and now a pacemaker/ICD a year ago and now ready to do this. We have no silver sneakers around here so this is my God send. What I need is to know is what do I use for the weights, bands, and ball Where do I get them and what size are used. Thanking you in advance.
Hi Anna! You can pick up your bands and ball from this link: silversneakers.orders.com/store/catalog/01-07002233-Equipment And you can get dumbbells at any Target or Walmart. I'd start with the lightest / easiest band (yellow) and the lightest dumbbells (1, 2 or 3#) just to start with and then you can grow from there! Good luck! :)
This is a very good workout
I'm a SS user at my local Y. But it's at 11:30. Not good for me. Your video was great. If you ever do it again, it would be nice to see some younger seniors in your group. I admire everyone that is in the video. Keep up the good work
ssreltd111 is
Wonderful video
😀 Thanks for the encouragement. Need to do more that doesn't involve impact. Any suggestions?
+Laurie Becker Just did a quick google search and typed in "low impact aerobics free online" and got several hits. I really like Fitness Blender. Here is an example of their workout: th-cam.com/video/AoZsTarI9uA/w-d-xo.html I think it looks doable! Just modify anytime you need it to be easier. :) Revelation Wellness is awesome! They have an online subscription program for $10/month and have a TON of variety. However, if you look up "Revelation Wellness Chair" on TH-cam you will find quite a few there for free! Here is a link I quickly looked up on TH-cam from Revelation Wellness Chair: th-cam.com/video/UTZODE16WPU/w-d-xo.html - GOOD LUCK! Let me know how it goes for you!
Which music did you use? Liked the video. Thanks.
April Morrison Hi April! I used a CD that comes from Silver Sneakers, Volume 4. Here's a link www.fitnessav.com/Silver-Sneakers-4-p/mm-ss4.htm
I do have a question I'm buying the muscle mix music but would like to have more music if you have any you could share with me that be great.
+Jasmine Jazzie J The YMCA where I work buys all the CD's. We just make sure they are actual Silver Sneakers CD's. You can google Silver Sneakers CDs and get a ton of hits on the internet. You can buy from many places. Just get CD's with BPM of around 124-128. My seniors love the oldies! Hope this helps!
Yes it does thank you!
I'm a line dance instructor how does one become a senior fitness instructor for Silver Sneakers? I' in Metairie, La
Sarah, here you go... www.silversneakers.com/partners/instructors/ ;-)
Love this class. Good pace & great music. Any chance you can post the playlist? I hear a lot of Frank Sinatra but cannot always identify the songs

your are so Special , Thanks
Is this the only workout video you have made? I love this one, but am always looking to expand my horizons!
Yes, this is my only one! :) I made it for my annual "test" to ensure I am teaching correctly. My "reviewer" couldn't make it to see me live, so I did this video for her to review me! I stuck it on TH-cam and forgot about it and it's kind of taken on a life of it's own! Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Please don’t ever remove it from uTube! I would be lost without it!
you are really terrific - !
I don't know if you ever still look at this but I would love to know what headset you use. Thanks. Pat in Ohio.
Hi Pat! I just emailed our Y director and asked. I'm really not sure. It's just what I use when I teach there. It has a battery pack and the ear phones are connected to the battery pack with a cord.

Could you please tell me what music you used here? Thanks.
+MrBigkhersak I used a CD that comes from Silver Sneakers, Volume 4. Here's a link www.fitnessav.com/Silver-Sneakers-4-p/mm-ss4.htm
+Jolene Berke Thanks a lot Jolene.
Hey Jolene! Where did you get the music in this video? I like it!

+Jolene Berke Thanks, Jolene. I am a new SS instructor. I have watched parts of this video at least 10 times! Thanks for the help!!
I'm sure you did very well on your review......I have one coming up this week. Love your routines! I've heard my evaluator is a tough one (awk!). Hope all goes well. Any tips? :)Annie
+Ann B Thank you, Ann! The first few "reviews" I had, I made cue cards and put them on the wall in the back of the room. That way I wouldn't forget anything! :) Make sure you don't do anything contraindicated. I got docked my very first review, because I leaned down between my legs to pick up my ball (without thinking) instead of step, support, reach. This video I actually got docked because I didn't explain the perceived exertion chart at the beginning of the class. I DID explain it. Just off the video. And my "reviewer" didn't "see" that on the video, so she docked me. She also docked me because I left the dumbbell on their laps while we did triceps extensions. She said that was dangerous. So I switched how I teach that move. Those are all the helpful tips I have! :) Good luck! Mostly just relax and be YOU!
+Jolene Berke Thanks so much Jolene! I never thought of cards on wall! Excellent idea!!!! That is what I worry about -forgetting something important! Maybe they could just hold the other dumbbell on their lap with other hand and do the triceps each side????? I wonder how hard it is to "fail" lol...........I am usually cool as a cucumber until someone with a clip board is around! I remember that at my AFAA exam. I passed the practical with flying colors, but everytime the clip board was near, I started doubting myself and losing concentration. :)
+Ann B P.S. I also wondered about your ball between legs with your hand coordination part..........if they thought too many reps for legs (although the ball is fairly light work). I'm more used to younger people with less rules and regulations! lol
+Ann B I wish the other lady at the Y never told me that the reviewer was really tough! I keep thinking through everything and over analyzing. I hope I can come across cool and collected like you do! I am so glad you posted this and are willing to share your experience!!! Makes us Newbs have more to look at than the one master class they put up. :)
I like it.
Intelligently thought out, but I miss the balance exercises, and they are the most important for older people.👍
how can I get a dvd of your workout?
I don't sell DVD's. I am just a regular old person teaching classes at the Y! :) There might be a way to save this video onto your computer and then put it on a DVD. I bet there is a way. Ask any teenager or college student - haha! I bet they know how! Just did a quick google search and there are many links similar to this one: www.winxdvd.com/resource/youtube-to-dvd.htm Good luck! :)
I hope you never take down this wonderful video!
