I have arthritis, including in my back and neck. The moves she does would injure me if I tried them. Her pacing is way too fast; to really stretch you must hold the stretch and she just runs through it like a dance. The routine really is for a dancer, not a senior who has been sedentary which is how they advertise it. If you’re like me, try another video,like Keeping Fit in Your 50s.

I would never have taken up stretching until my wife purchased Stretching for Seniors. I think the stretches Ann portrays are ones that almost any poerson can do comfortably. The exercises also are very graceful and make you want to be graceful along with them. I do them every morning and don’t have the desire to find an excuse for not doing them everyday. I have never been a person who likes to exercise so Ann’s program is exactly what a person like me needs. I urge you to buy it. The only reason I didn’t give the DVD a five star rating is because I think that the material is organized in the wrong sequence. I think the insruction should have been first and the daily exercise routine second.

This 30 minute DVD is really only a 10 minute program. It is well suited for 17-year-old Olympic ice skaters and experienced ballet dancers.

I’m over 50, after reading an article in an airline magazine about Anne Smith, I thought I could benefit from stretching, I was expecting a progressive program to stretching. I assume that most seniors do not have much flexibility, so it would be very nice to have program that would introduce stretching in a very slow and progressive way. I was disappointed to find out that it is not the case, this DVD is not stretching for seniors but stretching for senior dancers or seniors that have been practicing some method to maintain flexibility. For the rest of us it can be even dangerous.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. This is useless. Ann Smith is not a good teacher. “Step-by-step — easy to follow”, NOT!!! I found a different exercise DVD to be excellent.

I’m going to coat-tail on what “Very Evolved” said… The way you connect to your audience is… Know who you are writing to. You need to pick a Target Audience and stick to them. You wouldn’t write to an audience of 14yr olds the same way you would write to an audience of 60yr olds.
