Stronger Senior: Core Fitness Chair Exercise DVD

Stronger Senior: Core Fitness Chair Exercise DVD

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.
