Is this appropriate for people in their 70's?

No. This is absolutely not a good workout for older folks -- there is a lot of jumping around that's occuring, and it's very strenuous. The stress that this workout will place on your joints and bones is something that I would NEVER suggest an older person undertake. I'll go even further and state that you would probably risk permanent injury to yourself if you were to undertake this exercise at an advanced age.

it depends on your fitness level. also if you have any back problems or joint issues I would say no! It is a good workout; really good. however, teenager to 40ish unless you are in tip top shape. (my opinion) leslie sansone (walking for abs) has a good workout that is also challenging with 1 minute intervals of jogging. great for your abs and total body. also fast results- guaranteed results within 10 workouts- tried and tested. I switch because of my adhd lol. for more challenge (but less difficult than shuan t's insanity), beach body has a great workout dvd called fat blaster that is as effective as insanity without the pesky frog jumps lol. good luck! it depends on your fitness level. also if you have any back problems or joint issues I would say no!

Well it's pretty intense and there is some jumping. If you have issues with your knees or hip I wouldn't advise you try. But one can also do the routine with a little less vigor, and of course stop or slow down. It will definitely give one a cardio & core work out.

I would recommend only parts of the Insanity Check workout to people in their 70's. After a few weeks of using this workout, I found that my ankles weren't up to the challenge of the jumping exercises, and began to hurt. So I modified the exercises without the jumping, but continuing with the pace, and found that this worked for me. A person definitely needs to be in moderate health to even begin this workout.

Yup. The game is good for adults. I wouldn't suggest it before age 10 or so, as simple as the rules are, reading comprehension is a must. Particularly good for folks who don't know each other well yet.

Oh for sure. I'm in my 40's and I loved it! It brings back the days when you were in school with a projector. Kids loved it! They still play with it and it's been a year now. I guess it just depends if you child enjoys to draw and color. I would say yes!

What do you mean, older gal? ;>) Seriously, I am 65 and it seems to be working for me. Good luck!

Yes. I think it would be very good. I bought it for my 50 year old husband. It has everything for a beginner.

since you are 24 this is the best time to start taking care of your skin. this could be good for you. for me it didn't work. because i;am in my late 60. i think that this item is really for younger women. hope that it works for you

Not at all. My grandchildren ages 2 - 7 have all enjoyed it. Just make sure that your "people" fit in properly and easily. We have a mix of them so everyone fits except the Dad.

the forum you are using poses questions to the Amazon community - ie, other regular old consumers who have purchased this item. I don't think it is the right forum for your type of question.

True...but for an occasional treat...for someone who has a healthy lifestyle it's OK. I'm nearly 60 and have great heart/cholesterol levels. Lifestyle is the key, not one product.

Yes. You are correct. Amazon asked me to answer it since I had bought it. As a courtesy to you, I indicated I could not answer. By this you know that your question was posed to at least one buyer. Perhaps you know better how to respond. At 70, I'm still learning and am all ears for your response.

I cannot tell you whether to buy it or not. We found it to be sufficient for an active 80 year old male. At first he had a hard time with it dialing while he was talking to someone. Other than that for his purpose it seems to work fine.

I love my squeezebox and my duet, but I cannot recommend them for a 78 year old. Now, I am 61, so no young tech hot shot, but it takesfrequent tweaks to keep these products working. There are 6 presets to make it easier for her, but even these require some finesse.It might be possible to try an auxillary antenna attached to her radio.

Yes. I think it's fine. I am in my early 60's and I could get through it first time. But a month later I sustained a serious skull fracture in a fall which causes me to have dizzy spells so I couldn't continue Zumba. For anyone reasonably fit its fine and it will get you breathing hard for sure. I stated easy and took pause breaks during the work out to catch my breath, it didn't take but a few times when I really didn't need to pause. It's a fun work out.

Most definitely. I bought this specifically to play with my own 20s-30something friends, and we really enjoy it.

Yes it is very appropriate. Matter of fact appropriate for all ages. I use it myself to stay tuned up for my softball league.

Yes, it is really nice for that age, they can keep everything in place because there are many little things that came with this product, I hope this help!! byeee :)

Yes. It is nice, but really for younger children. An 11 year-old could handle something closer to the real thing.
