Created and led by a “baby boomer,” it's an easy-to-follow series of back-to-the-basics exercises (no fancy Latin choreography, no heavy-bass music). But it is effective — the aerobics will definitely burn fat; the toning will definitely sculpt your body. Sue Grant is joined by two other boomers; each one demonstrating the moves at a different level (e.g. you can choose a basic “plank on the knees” or challenge yourself with a “hip rotation plank”). The always-low-impact cardio features familiar favorites like grapevines, kicks, step-touches and Charlestons. The toning includes classics like squats, bicep curls and push-ups. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2008.
