Feel Fit at Any Age with Margaret Richard.

Body Electric TV was the first televised fitness show to feature exercises using light resistance (weights) and performed to popular music. Then and now, Margaret’s message—and workouts—go beyond strength and tone. Her exercises offer a way for aging bodies to feel fit without stressing joints; an especially relevant message to the Baby Boomer generation.
