I was going to post this same question. My mother is about 80 pounds overweight, with some pain issues, mostly with her foot and back. She is 62 years old and has never been into fitness. She is sloooowly revamping her diet, mostly trying to watch portion control, minimize salt and sugar, and easing off her sugary drinks. I recently purchased Leslie Sanson's 7 Day Calorie Burn, as it has five short walks and two strength programs on it. It's a compilation dvd consisting of the following program:
- 1 Mile Get Started
- 2 Mile Fitness Walk
- Walk Away Your Stress
- Heart Healthy Walk
- Upper Body Fitness
- Lower Body Fitness
- The Evening Mile
I don't have a lot of Leslie workouts, but do you think this would be a good place to start? She probably would have to modify the lower body routine, as she has problems getting up and down from the floor.
