You really can do it!
Brenda Dyckrath, U.S. Aerobics Champion.
Anyone can exercise to feel healthier and have more energy.
Remember, it's all in your attitude.
You can make your body work for you.
Certified Educator for the Aerobic and Fitness Association
of America.
You don't have to build your muscles to be in great shape.
Building a healthy heart, controlling your weight,
and feeling good about yourself are so much more important.
Now, fitness made fun and easy for you.
Occasionally, we all need motivation to get started
and keep up with an exercise program.
That's what I'm here for.
So let's work together towards better health and fitness.
Hi, I'm Brenda Dyckrath.
Just by putting in this tape and getting ready to exercise
with us, you're already one step closer
to reaching your fitness goals.
And I'm excited to be a part of your fitness program.
People exercise for different reasons.
To lose weight, to firm up, to feel energetic and more capable
of coping with everyday stress.
All of these are very good reasons for starting
and sticking to a fitness program.
Because I've competed for aerobic titles and awards
and have chosen exercise as a profession,
it has become necessary to train my muscles
with advanced technology to develop a competitive edge.
That kind of advanced conditioning
is not going to be a part of this program.
This is my Low Impact Workout, designed
to improve health and fitness for beginners of all ages.
If a particular movement in the workout seems too strenuous,
don't be afraid to modify it and work at your own pace
for a while.
You'll be able to join us in that movement
sooner than you can imagine.
On the other hand, if this workout doesn't
seem strenuous enough, you can work a little harder
by adding wrist and ankle weights
during the aerobic section and heavier weights
during the body shaping segment.
Remember, the goal is to exercise regularly
and challenge yourself, but not to the point of being in pain
or feeling discouraged.
If it's been a while since you've exercised,
please take the next few moments to go over
some very important guidelines.
First, always check with your doctor
before this or any other exercise program.
For best results, follow this routine three times a week,
giving yourself at least a 36-hour rest in between.
Find time for exercising that best fits
into your personal fitness schedule
so you won't be tempted to skip a few days
because you're too busy.
Locate a space big enough to work in.
An area 15 by 15 will do just fine.
It's important to wear clothing that will allow you
to move freely and comfortably and to wear shoes
that provide firm but flexible support.
Don't eat for at least one hour before your workout,
and be sure to drink plenty of water
before and after exercising.
And here's a beauty tip.
Give your face a good cleansing before your workout.
This will allow your pores to have a chance to breathe.
Before starting, gather what you'll need, a mat, a towel,
water, and weights if you plan on using them.
A body ball and ankle weights aren't necessary
for beginners, however, you definitely will notice
a greater improvement in your arms, buttocks, and thighs
in a shorter period of time if you work out
with wrist and ankle weights.
These weights, along with some of the other products
that we're using, can be purchased
through Home Shopping Club mail order.
You'll find details in the product insert
included with this tape.
Our workout will include a four minute warmup,
20 minutes of calorie burning,
energizing low impact aerobics, exercises to tone
and firm the upper and lower body,
and a five minute cool down.
During the program, I'll remind you to check your heart rate
by locating your pulse on the wrist or the right side
of your neck like this.
When I say go, I want you to count the number of beats
until I say stop.
Multiply that number by 10 to establish your heart rate.
Then check this chart for your age and target range.
If you're below it, you can push a little harder.
Above it, slow down a little.
If at any time you feel pain, faintness, or dizziness,
stop and call your doctor.
Before we get started, I'd like to show you
a few of the movements we'll be using
in the aerobics section of this tape,
as well as introduce our workout partners.
They're ages 15 to 65.
We're gonna have fun with these ladies.
I'd like you to meet Debbie Reynolds.
At age 40, Debbie has found that exercising
helps her maintain the stamina she needs
to keep up with her six children.
Ages seven to 17, they are.
Even more important, certain exercises
have helped strengthen her back after surgery.
Debbie, please join me to start demonstrating
some of our moves.
All right, let's take it to a champion stretch.
Hands in the air, up, and good.
Bring it down.
Reach again as high as you can.
Circle down, bring your feet together.
Pull down, press up, and hustle.
Good.
This time with the knee up, and knee up.
March it in place.
Thanks, Debbie.
Next, Lonnie Jones is a 34-year-old mother of two
and is three months pregnant.
She's a firm believer in the importance of exercising
before, during, and after having children.
Of course, all women are different,
so you should always get your doctor's consent
before exercising during pregnancy.
Lonnie, come on over and join us in our next two moves.

Let's meet one other very special girl, Francie Harvey.
At age 15, she has been doing aerobics
for almost eight years, and you know what, it's paying off.

weights during every other workout to obtain the maximum benefit. You ready, hands up, they're

with a body ball, you definitely can benefit from weight workout.
Debbie and Grace will now join me for the lower body sculpturing section, Debbie and
I are wearing one pound ankle weights each, now Grace won't be wearing the one pound weights
in this section, and you don't have to when you begin working out, but remember, listen
to your body, and when you're ready, you better get these one pound ankle weights on your
ankles, because you know what, you can tone up so much quicker, in your thighs, and in
your buttocks, when you are wearing these, and exercising with them, now you put these
on very simply, you put it around your ankle, you simply slip the Velcro through, and when
you slip it through, you pull it around, not too tight, but not too loose, that seems pretty
easy, now let's try the workout, let's go for it, alright, elbows are all the way down
on the floor, you wanna make sure your back is nice and flat, as flat as possible, and
your foot has got to be flexed, no cheating, take it all the way up, lift and lower, 8
