The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
an introductory exercise routine designed for
those who are 55 years of age and older. The
fitness program's host is Tony Horton, a well
known fitness instructor and consultant who
has helped celebrities and elderly individuals
alike get into better shape.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program
is produced by Beachbody, a company that has
produced several successful at-home DVD/VHS-fitness programs that range from introductory
programs such as this one to high strength
and endurance fitness programs such as P90X, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, ChaLEAN Extreme and
Turbo Jam.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
targeted towards individuals that are age 55
and up. The intent of the fitness program is
to promote improvements in overall health
through low impact exercises designed to improve circulation, increase
joint range of motion, and improve
flexibility, balance and strength.
In addition, for individuals that would like to increase the level of difficulty, weighted gloves,
resistance bands or a pair of dumbbells can
be used.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
an introductory fitness program that is ideal
for older individuals who are
looking for a fitness program that is easy to
perform, requires little space,
and can be performed in the comfort of your
home.
In addition, the Tony and The Folks
fitness program is modestly priced and ideal for instructor-lead group settings.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
designed for those who are at least 55 years old. The fitness program is a low impact
exercise routine that is intended to provide individuals with daily exercise sessions to
help maintain overall bodily health as they
age. The Tony and The Folks fitness program
is not a comprehensive exercise routine and
is, more or less, an introductory fitness
workout.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program
includes one 30-minute exercise workout.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
designed to provide a combination of low
impact cardiovascular, stretching and
resistance exercises. The fitness program is
general in nature so it does not provide a
specific focus on any particular part of the
body. You will be introduced to a series of
warm-up and cool-down exercises that include
various stretches such as calf stretches and
arm stretches to help loosen your muscles,
ligaments, tendons and joints. The main
portion of the exercise routine will involve movements like in-place jogging, wall push-ups and lunges to provide your
cardiovascular and muscular systems with a
minor workout.
Additionally the Tony and The Folks
fitness program includes a tutorial by Tony
on why regular exercise for the elderly is
important. The educational speech touches on
the benefits of exercise and its relation to
maintaining and improving mental and physical
health as we age.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program
includes one 30-minute workout. The exercise
routine is DVD/VHS-based, so it can be
performed at home whenever you have time. The
fitness program is designed for individuals
that are 55-years-old and over, and are able
to perform low impact physical activity for
20 to 30 minutes per day. In addition, the
Tony and The Folks fitness program is
designed to complement a more complete, physically active lifestyle.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
not intended as a comprehensive fitness
program and is not intended to yield large
fitness gains. More specifically, the fitness
program is targeted towards the elderly
demographic and is designed to assist in the
reduction of bone loss via a low impact
workout, introduce exercise and physical
activity as a method to prevent weight loss
or gain, and help reduce the probability of
contracting a cardiovascular disease.
No special equipment is required to
perform the Tony and The Folks fitness
program. The exercise routine is DVD- or VHS-based, so a functional player is needed. A
moderate amount of space is necessary to
comfortably perform all of the exercises. A
pair of dumbbells, weighted gloves or
resistance bands may be purchased to improve
the benefits derived from the workout.
Doctor consultation is advised if you are
over 55 years of age and intend on starting
an exercise program. The workout routine is
a low impact, low intensity sequence of
movements that most individuals will be able
to perform without any problems. It might be
initially difficult for those who suffer from
hip problems, joint pain, lower back pain or stability problems.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
ideal for those who are relatively unaware of
the potential benefits of exercise,
particularly in reducing the risk of diseases
and problems that are prevalent within the
elderly community. The program is designed as
an introductory fitness program and is not
intended for those looking to lose a large
amount of weight or for those who want a comprehensive program.
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
a Beachbody product and benefits from the
company's solid customer service which
includes:
- 24/7 telephone support
- Email support
- Online live chat support
- Extensive FAQ area
- Online message board
The Tony and The Folks fitness program
costs one payment of $ 9.95 plus $ 1.95 for
shipping and handling. You will receive one
VHS/DVD-exercise workout that is
approximately 30 minutes in duration. While
an exercise program for the elderly can be
created by using information found via the
internet, the Tony and The Folks fitness
program is largely intended for individuals
that want to perform a fairly easy workout in the comfort of their own home, as a gift for an
elderly loved one, or as an exercise routine
that is used by retirement homes to raise
awareness on the benefits of exercise.
Summary
The Tony and The Folks fitness program is
an introductory exercise workout for those
who are 55 years of age or older. As one ages, the
risk of various problems and diseases such as
osteoporosis, arthritis, hip fractures,
obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular disease tend to increase.
Because of this, it is important to be
physically active and engage in a daily
exercise routine to assist in reducing the probability of realizing any of the risks.
To this end, the Tony and The Folks fitness
program assists in bringing forward an
increased awareness of the benefits
associated with regularly performing some
form of physical exercise.
