Sit and Be Fit: Season 9 with Mary Ann Wilson

A mostly seated series of stretch, toning, circulation and flexibility exercises. It’s led by PBS’s Mary Ann Wilson, a kind and very gentle instructor. Each segment is just 2 to 4 minutes long so it’s easy to do small portions at time. The first program begins with seated circulation exercises followed by stretches and standing leg exercises (you also get a seated variation). It ends with total-body guided-relaxation featuring tranquil outdoor scenery. The second program uses two balls for flexibility and joint exercises (e.g. rolling the ball beneath your feet as you’re seated).

Requires two balls, about 2-inch and 6-inch in diameter.

The Sit and Be Fit Season Nine Workout features some of Mary Ann’s favorite routines from the #900 public television series. These exercises are designed to improve core strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, circulation and reaction time. A variety of light-hearted music combined with fun rehabilitative movements make this a good middle-of-the-road full body workout for anyone. Bonus material includes exercises using a 1 inch and 10 inch ball (balls not included). This program is sure to life your spirits and put a smile on your face.
