Title: Sit and be Fit

This video has the same format as the "Sit and be Fit" television program shown on PBS. This is not a cardiovascular workout, but a toning and stretching program which has proven to be extremely beneficial to older adults, people with chronic and/or physical limitations, and those who have been sedentary for a long period of time. Most of the 30-Minute Workout is done sitting in a chair, but there are some standing exercises. Total running time: Approximately 27 minutes.
