Stronger Senior: Core Fitness Chair Exercise DVD
Stronger Senior: Core Fitness Chair Exercise DVD
DVD - $16.99
The Stronger Seniors Core Fitness Chair Exercise Program is designed to help seniors and the mobility-challenged develop strength and flexibility, enhancing the ability to function in daily life.
Core Fitness is specially designed to strengthen your abdominals, lower back and pelvic floor muscles: those which support your spine and internal organs – the foundation of your body. Exercising the core is essential to good posture and balance. If you ignore these muscle groups, the risk of kyphosis, osteoporosis, and other chronic disease is increased.
By building a strong core foundation, your overall physical health and appearance is improved and will help you enjoy all of the physical activities that you look forward to: walking, biking, gardening, and the like. You will feel a tremendous difference in how you feel and how you see yourself.
Stronger Seniors Core Fitness Chair Exercise Program is based on the teachings of Joseph Pilates. Pilates incorporates exercises that train your body from the inside out. No other exercise program is as gentle to your body while providing a challenging workout. Modified for the chair by Stott™ Pilates Instructor Trainer Anne Pringle Burnell, this DVD is so safe that it is used in physical therapy facilities to rehabilitate injuries. If you are looking to better your overall health, Stronger Seniors Core Fitness Chair Exercise Program is an effective, well-paced exercise DVD.
The Older and Much Wiser Workout with Sue Grant is a gentle and safe workout that is perfect for beginners or those that have not been exercising regularly. All of the exercises are done either standing or sitting on a chair with no lying down on the floor.
This fun, well rounded workout includes the four vital components of fitness; easy-to-follow low impact aerobics; gentle stretching training; balance and gaze stabilization training; and a relaxing cool down and stretch. You may mix and match these different sections depending on how much time you have and how you are feeling each day.
In addition, you will see three different levels for each exercise, so you will be able to customize this workout to meet your particular needs. You will love the upbeat encouragement and helpful cues, and you will be amazed at how quickly you progress.
Sue Grant is a certified Master Instructor for FallProof, the internationally recognized Balance and Mobility training program, and is also certified by the American Council on Exercise and the Arthritis Foundation.
In addition she is proud to be a Fellow of Applied Functional Science with a Certificate in Fitness Instruction and Exercise Science from UC San Diego, specializing in both Personal Training and Group Fitness Instruction. She is a certified Older Adult Fitness Specialist.

Ann Smith: Stretching for Seniors DVD
A "Breakthrough" Video For People Over 50. Now you can stretch your way to greater strength, flexibility and vitality with this easy-to-follow video. Created by "Stretch Exercise" expert Ann Smith.
Fitness expert Michaela Roberson hosts this yoga-based exercise program designed to offer an integrated approach to health, weight loss, and muscle tone.
Power Aerobics: Aqua Fitness provides an intense workout that takes place with participants submerged in water, providing ideal support for elder practitioners or those with joint issues.

This DVD features the most important basic exercises for a complete body workout. Also featured on this DVD: Aquaerobics - the cardiovascularly demanding exercise.
