I love Richard Simmons! I think his workouts are so much fun, he almost always has good music and a diverse group of exercisers. This workout was fun, easy, and fit what I was looking for. I spend too much time sitting at my desk in my office and I thought this could be fun to do at my desk in between working, beading, online. A few years ago when I had injured my ankle I purchased all of the Chair Dancing workouts and they were fun, easy to do with an injury, and easy to do during the day without having to change into workout clothes, put shoes on, or go down to the basement to exercise in our fitness room. I was also able to convince my mom to do some of them with me and she seemed to enjoy them as well.
Sit Tight is more intense than Chair Dancing, it is non-stop, has both arm and leg movements, good vocal music, and is just plain fun. Richard is very encouraging and there are people in wheelchairs and people of all shapes, sizes, and ages doing the workout. I'm so glad I nabbed this when Mary had it, I figured the DVD would soon be OOP (out of print) and hard to find and I see she no longer carries it, nor does Amazon. If you can find it and like these type of workouts, I highly recommend it! All of the sitting workouts are great for when you have an injury or aren't up to intense exercise - some movement is better than none! Although I wouldn't recommend it for seniors unless they are in pretty good shape - it really is non-stop dancey movements with little cueing. The Chair Dancing workouts are more suitable for seniors in my opinion.
I also did:
I liked this one, it is a step up in intensity from the Leslie Sansone walking workouts, has better music, is filmed outdoors which I love, and has three levels.
