This set of DVD's covers every motion range and agility group setting. They play just like an exercises show or video with a leader in the forefront and several participants flanked left and right behind. Some are set to music and can run independent of the AD or Assistant participation. All the DVDs can be used to guide the AD and Assistants in learning and leading there own versions of any of the program like a DIY video. Probably the last exercise programming your facility will need!

 

hope this helps, thanks, Pennie

Get a MOVE on!

 

Challenge higher functioning older adults to get fit and stay active!

 

There's nothing like a Latin beat to make people want to get moving. This invigorating routine incorporates the energy of Latin music into a workout challenging enough to provide an exercise option for the higher functioning folks in your group. Benefits include improved posture, balance, strength, flexibility, heart & lung function and overall body awareness. If you are ready for Get a Move On, you are ready to turn the fun on!.

 

Have FUN...Get FIT!

 

Get folks excited about fitness with this invigorating workout routine suited for all levels of mobility!

 

Have Fun, Get Fit! focuses on low to moderate intensity exercises and includes a bonus muscle workout and steps to put together an effective plan to create greater physical function in your group. Your group will be clapping and stomping and breaking a sweat all while improving strength and flexibility. This routine is demonstrated at various intensities in an effort to accommodate the needs of low, mid, and high-functioning participants. Instruction is provided throughout for proper posture, breathing, and technique for a safe and effective workout.

 

Have a BALL!

 

As the title suggests, exercise doesn't have to be a chore – you can increase physical functioning in your group and have fun doing it!

 

All you need to get started are inexpensive inflatable balls (we like the brightly colored beach variety) and you are on your way to increasing mobility, balance, and strength in your group. Learn how to get optimum results by throwing and bouncing the ball around with a dose of stompin', clappin', hooting', and hollerin' added in the spirit of putting the fun into function!

 

These exercises, when performed consistently, serve to increase overall body awareness - empowering participants to improve posture and lung function, enhance strength and flexibility and achieve better balance. This DVD focuses on low to moderate intensity exercises and has a bonus balance-related segment designed to bring participants to a better understanding of what affects our balance and what we can do to improve it! These exercises are done sitting and standing with motivations for lower mobility participants.

 

CHAIR YOGA

 

Increase flexibility and create greater physical and mental awareness!

 

Chair Yoga is an excellent way to encourage physical improvement for all levels of ability. The exercises move at a casual pace and are subtle and undemanding enough to be practiced by those with impaired mobility. Don't be fooled by the ease of these exercises, though; they can increase flexibility and improve mobility in higher functioning seniors as well!

 

This 35 minute mind and body exercise routine will benefit posture, flexibility and mobility, range-of-motion in and around major joints and enhanced core strength and body awareness of participants. The experience has proven for many to be an effective opportunity to relax and become rejuvenated, while learning to understand and integrate the concept of balancing the energy between body and mind.

 

CHAIR PILATES

 

Exercise doesn't have to be stressful and exhausting. Increase fitness participation using Pilates, a calming and low impact exercise discipline.

 

Rather than rushing participants through a jarring, fast-paced exercise routine, leaving them tired and unsettled, introduce them to Pilates, which focuses on breathing and body alignment and effective movement rather than repetitive movement. Participants will get a workout and feel rejuvenated.

 

Chair Pilates is a 35 minute DVD mind and body exercise production that emphasizes core strength. The array of benefits associated with performance of Pilates include improved posture and alignment, greater flexibility and mobility, increased range-of-motion in and around major joints as well as enhanced body awareness.

 

Proper posture and effective breathing patterns are reinforced throughout the work out along with emphasis on harmony of mind, body, and breath. These exercises are performed in a chair to the tune of calming, peaceful Pilates-style music, and are appropriate for anyone regardless of age or capability

 

8-form EZ Tai Chi

 

Tai Chi is a mind and body discipline. The 8-form EZ Tai Chi is one of the very simplest. It can be performed in a chair or in a standing position, needs no equipment, is done in as little as 3-5 minutes and is appropriate for any age and/or capability.

 

Tai Chi serves to improve balance, flexibility, and mobility, to reduce pain and discomfort associated with arthritis and to increase range-of-motion in and around major joints. It also aids in enhancing overall body awareness and balancing the energy between the mind and the body.

 

The routine, which consists of 8 forms, or movement sequences, is performed three times to cater to beginners and advanced students alike. The first section demonstrates each of the 8 forms, the second section is a slow paced walk through of each of the forms with narration, and the third section shows the 8 forms performed at the proper pace. Each section is demonstrated standing and sitting simultaneously, making it an excellent resource for those leading groups with varied levels mental and physical functioning.

 

Music in MOTION

 

It's easy to encourage fitness using this fun routine with a funky country flair!

 

Although this fun and functional workout does not leave the seat, it serves well to get almost anyone moving! Benefits include improved heart and lung function, increased strength, flexibility and overall body awareness. This particular title was designed to suit the needs of those who do not have the ability to come up to a standing position to exercise. Be aware that this does not suggest it cannot be an effective workout for others as well!
