Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you have a video tape that can be done seated for the whole program?
A: Yes, Exercise with Marguerite video has two 30-minute sessions that have all exercises done sitting in a chair. A exercise band is included for some resistance exercises to the legs and arms. Also an exercise guide with illustrations of the exercises is included. The Richard Simmons "Sit Tight" video is all performed in a chair as well but is more advanced.

Q: How does the Pedlar Exerciser stay in place?
A: It has non-skid tips to prevent it from slipping while in use.

Q: I have arthritic hands, which pool equipment could I use without hurting my hands?
A: The web gloves would be best if your hands are not deformed from the arthritis. You don't have to grip anything to use them. The hand buoys have large paddled handles so could work well too.

Q: Which video is the best for beginners or someone who hasn't exercised in awhile?
A: The Exercise with Marguerite Video is the best video for beginners or those that haven't exercised in awhile. All exercises are done seated and all the moves are done slowly. This video also includes an instructional manual and exercise band.

Q: What is your favorite video and why?
A: The Geri-Fit Video is our favorite. It is well done with proper form on all exercises. Pregnant women, beginners and those with bad backs should like this video as well. The video includes a warm-up, stretches, resistive exercises and a cool-down. This video along with walking, biking or swimming (endurance exercise) is a complete exercise program.
