Great for improving flexibility
Both of the workouts on this DVD are suitable for the 50+ age group.I like doing these with my husband when I get home from work. I do a more vigorous workout in the morning but he doesn’t do any workout in the morning. He is a remodeling contractor and is active throughout the day. He has good upper and lower body strength but his flexibility is not so good and he is beginning to suffer from arthritis. This causes aches and pains. These workouts are doable for him. He feels better afterwards.The anti-aging workout is the easier of the two and consists mainly of gentle stretches. It begins with a standing routine and ends with a floor routine. I believe the joint integrity is all standing. It involves more movement. You use a ball, a lemon and a stretchy band. We substituted a pillow for the ball and a tennis ball for the lemon.This is a great DVD for PM, preventative maintenance, to keep from suffering from the aches and pains of arthritis by retaining your flexibility.

Every helpful
Very helpful and easy to follow. It does help to relieve stiffness. I ordered this because I use her / water arthritis video which is remarkable. Not disappointed at all. I am 66 years old with severe arthritis in my back and sholders. I fell spook much better doing this. I will use the inside one more when the weather is cooler and I am not able to use the pool.

Narration & Music a distraction from Exercises
Music and narration is annoying - you really have to turn sound down. It also takes too much time to work through the "menu" to get to where you want. Functional Fitness: Arthritis with Suzanne Andrews I'm younger than the "target audience" and fairly techno savvy, can't imagine an older person trying to get through this. As for it having constructive exercises, it would help someone who still has some range of motion and mobility.

Excellent workout. Excellent display of how-tos
Excellent workout. Excellent display of how-tos. Excellent menu options, even to do the entire workout to music only. A must-have water workout video!!

Great if you need a good stretch
Ive just done this for the first time. It lasted about 30 mins and goes through the body from top to toe giving you a good allover stretch. It is slow and quite relaxing to do, and I must say I felt better for it.
