Geri-Fit: The First Workout with Weights for Older Adults

Whether or not the Geri-FitJ (oops, that's not the trademark symbol!) program is--as stated--the "first workout with weights for older adults," it's certainly not the first video to feature seniors using weights. Founder Francesca Gern leads a quartet of sexagenarians through a warm-up, floor exercises and chair exercises, using only a set of Geri-Fit bands (i.e., any exercise latex bands) and a pair of 2 lb. weights. While the instruction is fairly solid, the fluctuating color balance is a little distracting and the repetition of the Geri-Fit™ name borders on commercial harassment. Still, those without a solid senior exercise video incorporating weight training might want to consider this one. Optional. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
