Library Journal Review

Clothing catalog browsers will recognize the striking and seemingly ageless face of Cindy Joseph on the cover of Keeping Fit in Your 50s. In this long-overdue series Joseph partners with certified exercise physiologist Robyn Stuhr to address the changing needs of middle-aged women. The focus is on a total-body workout designed for women adjusting to normal body changes, laced with practical information and potent words of support. The components aerobics, strength training, and flexibility training are addressed on three discs designed to be viewed alone or as a total-body workout. Unlike other fitness videos that rush into a warm-up and subsequent exercise routine, Keeping Fit in Your 50s supports the regimes with a comprehensive overview of changing body basics, workout tips, and keeping-fit fundamentals. The series exudes inspirational motivation and a reminder that aptly states, "looking your best isn't about looking younger." A must-have for all public libraries.
