"I accidentally came to discover the Sit and Be Fit exercise program and it has proved to be one of the best things that has happened for my health and well-being. I have been struggling with a debilitating neck and shoulder injury for the past three years and after just a month-and-a-half of doing the Sit and Be Fit exercises I have regained almost my full range of motion in my right arm. I have also found that the rest of my body is getting stronger and more flexible and that my posture has really improved. And, all those small but annoying aches and pains are virtually gone." --Mauilea P.

"I discovered your show 2 years ago. I want to tell you YOU ARE WONDERFUL. Your demeanor, your hair, your cheerful smile every day. The exercises are just right for me. Your constant admonitions to go only to your own range of motion so we don't feel bad if we can't go as high as you. I love your show and it is helping me to stay healthy and mobile. I tell all my friends about it. You are doing a wonderful public service for us old and retired people who can't get out much. May God bless you. Keep up the good work." --Mrs. Dorothy P.

Tai Chi boosts your health and immunity with gentle exercise, deep breathing and increased bone density.

Relieve Your Joint Pain and Feel Better. Relax and stay healthy. Deep breathing relieves your stress, calming your mind and body on a cellular level, and immediately boosts your immune response.

Learn Tai Chi movements to relieve pain in your joints and increase your range of motion and stamina. Joint pain causes you to move less to avoid the irritation. But moving less means that soon you lose your range of motion, which makes you more likely to get hurt or sick. Joint pain also makes you weaker and more likely to injure yourself from normal daily tasks. If you’re new to Tai Chi, this is an excellent introduction to its moves and its inner experience.

Master teacher David-Dorian Ross will guide you to the health benefits of Tai Chi, without any routines or sequences to learn or memorize. TaijiFit programs use an easy format designed for you to simply follow along without worrying about getting anything right. Just mimic what you see, and don’t even worry about which direction you’re facing. By using this short program just a few times per week, your joint health will gradually improve, and you’ll feel stronger and more balanced.

America's favorite fitness expert, Denise Austin, gets kids in shape with an energetic workout using elements of dance, hip-hop, sports drills, yoga and stretching in a 20-minute workout that is uniquely made for kids to keep moving, have fun, and stay healthy.

With the goal to get kids moving, fitness expert Denise Austin leads preteens in a 20-minute total body workout incorporating elements of dance, hip-hop, sports drills, and yoga. It begins with a six-minute warm up of stretches and lunges, followed by seven minutes of cardio-funk, kick-boxing, and traditional aerobics. The program ends with a strengthening segment of push-ups, abdominal exercises, and beginning yoga. Effervescent Austin provides adequate verbal coaching to a dozen kids who perform the moves. This moderately fast-paced program assumes its participants are fairly fit at the onset and in only a few cases offers reduced levels of participation for varying abilities. No equipment is necessary and minimal space is required in this energetic option for general youth fitness. Dont miss the DVDs bonus episode, "Family Fit," a 20-minute workout designed for families to do together. It follows the same format as the "Fit Kids" routine, with the addition of a few exercises that require partnering for resistance training. One segment employs a basketball (or similar sized ball) which is the only equipment necessary. "Quality fitness, doing it together," is Austins peppy mantra, which results in a corny but clever way to get families off the couch. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson
