Just an 80 -plus -year- old grandmother who is keeping her mind active by posting some simple blogs from time to time. This gives me something to do that is somewhat creative each day. I have to remember how to take a few photos and once taken how to add them to my blog. Feedback is welcome. Photos by me unless otherwise noted.

Firm & Burn with Jane Fonda
I go to the gym fairly regularly, but when Marcia and I were out shopping the other day, I suggested we look for the Jane Fonda low impact exercise videos that are designed for seniors. I bought the Firm & Burn and Marcia bought the Trim Tone & Flex. We figure we will switch back and forth with these from time to time. I began yesterday with the Firm & Burn, and I think I'm going to like it. This will be something I can do at home on days I don't get to the gym, and it will introduce a little variety into my exercise regime. It's actually a lot like dancing.
The entire routine (warm up, doo-wop, Latin, old school funk and cool down) takes about 40 minutes. Although I can't do the whole routine yet, I like the way there is a warm up and then you can choose which routines you want to do. There is a live band to provide the music, and it is definitely a low impact workout.
The DVD includes a meditation segment, which I find quite relaxing.

Fonda and I are the same age. If I work with these videos, can I become as fit as she? : )
