Exercise Videos
These videos can provide a "group" exercise experience for good health and fun! Some are brief and can be done once or repeated a few times; others are longer and can be done in entirety or cut for a shorter session. Most have music and are demonstrated both for those who can stand to exercise and those who must be seated. You may find additional videos on some of these sites, to change up the routine and keep participants interested. Note: Those who can exercise while standing should do so, in order to increase the impact and use those large muscles!
