    Hi everyone. I borrowed Jane’s book “Prime Time” from the library, and it has inspired me to do more exercise. I walk a lot, as I don’t drive, but feel that I need more constructive exercise, such as strengthening, toning and muscle building. I have just ordered 3 of Jane’s newest dvd’s aimed at “boomers”, and as I am over 50, I fall into that category. I always thought that weight training was for youngsters, but Jane has shown me that it is very beneficial for us over 50’s.

    • Hi, Sally-read your comment. I’m in the boomers group, too. Which of the videos were aimed at strengthening and toning? Plan on doing original workout and alternating with another JF one that uses weights. The descriptions don’t give much info. Any suggestions?

    • Hi Carol – it’s good to hear from you. I have only tried Jane’s Am/Pm Yoga dvd so far – the “strength am” part that uses weights. I enjoyed doing it. She incorporates weights in two other dvd’s “Prime Time Fit & Strong” and “Prime Time Walk Out Trim Tone & Flex” – I’ve only played these through to see what’s involved, but they look good, and easy to follow. I haven’t done her original workout, but have heard it works. I would recommend getting a copy of Jane’s book “Prime Time” and doing the exercises on pages 96 & 97 “Key 3: A Three-Step Exercise Program” – these exercises are supposed to use 80-85% of the body’s muscles. I found them to be very good. Let me know how you get on 🙂
