Recorded this programme recently... gentle exercises all done on a chair designed for the over 50s. Ha I thought I am not 50 yet and the lady who does the gentle exercise alongside the instructor looks to be in her 70s.. So I sat in my chair ... Pressed start and arrrgghhhh I couldn't even keep up with the the lady let alone the instructor. My leg is on the floor my elbows stuck under my armpit and I think I threw my neck out of the window halfway through... I refuse to give in I have set my self a target of twice a week and will see if I improve by Christmas

Staggers off looking for hot pack..

VG xx

Piggie hugs xxxxx

Nice one for giving it a go. I tried keeping up with the one on tv and gave up after a couple moves and settled down to A Place in the Sun (dreaming's still free isn't it?)

Good luck xx
