"A perfect 10. Creatively and gently includes mechanisms that stretch commonly shortened muscles (quads, gastrocs and hamstrings) and strengthens abdominals and spinal musculature..."

“The self-massage is part of our pain reduction and relaxation program.”
“Good, gentle workout. I agree with what other reviewers have said. She is an excellent leader. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow. Although you see the participants in the class she is leading, and learn a bit about them afterward, she does not engage them in conversation during the program. I appreciate that. I have one DVD that would probably be very good were it not for all the time the leader spends engaging the participants in time-consuming chatter.”

Wonderful for Mobility-Limited Folks... The exercises and movements restore calm, peace, rejuvenation, wellness, and flexibility from a sitting or supported standing position. Easy, slow, and fun movements demonstrated by a positive person with an all-star differently abled class. Enjoyable! Restorative. I recommend it highly for those who live their lives from a sitting or resting-often position. It'll recharge your batteries.

I have MS, and I have found Gentle Fitness to offer a very effective routine to help me with the exercise portion of my wellness program. Catherine has also had MS for many years, and in her video, she features a class of students with all kinds of physical disabilities. Gentle fitness, 80% sitting, is great for strength, flexibility, and balance. It will help your spirits rise, and it just plain feels good! I highly recommend Gentle Fitness.

"Your directions are clear and so empowering. The enjoyment you and the others show, the non-fatiguing frequent changes, and the easy flow from one movement to the next - all make your video fun."

"T'ai Chi and Yoga were hard to follow. Gentle Fitness looked too easy, but we found it uses everything! And it feels so wonderful. My husband and I love it!"

"Since a car accident, it's been hard for me to face exercise, knowing how limited I am and being afraid I'll injure myself. I cried—from relief - the first time I watched GF. Now I feel relaxed and positive each time I turn it on. You and those people exercising with you are so motivating and welcoming."

"You've inspired me to exercise! I have MS and use a cane. Because I work full time I didn't think I would have time or energy to exercise during the week. After I complete Gentle Fitness, my leg muscles are less stiff, and my gait is improved. As a bonus, I get to work earlier because it's easier to shower and dress - I've got more energy, flexibility, and better balance!"

"Morning & evening I can count on your smile and those wonderfully relaxing movements. You lift me up every time."

This workout met my expectations. It is gentle enough for me to accomplish with RA and Lupus.
