to provide a fall prevention regimen for elders who need gentle

are characterized by sound training technique that complies with SFA
guidelines. Ward and her senior exercise participants perform their
seated routines in appealing outdoor settings. She provides viewers
with well-informed explanations of her training procedures.

“Very nice program and user friendly. I think this program would
be best used in our facility as a preventative course. I really like
the time taken to discuss breathing, posture and safety in the
introductions, seniors performing the exercises to show 'it can be
done' and the inset picture of you appearing in the corner of the
screen reinforcing important information is a very nice touch.
Thanks!”…John C., Physical Therapist, Northern California Veterans Administration.
“Wow, Kelly. My wife (a physical therapist at Mercy San
Juan hospital) and I watched 2 videos last night and loved them. They
are very, very good. I will buy a set from my aunt in Maine for
Christmas. I would say that you have something really good here (I
could almost see it on an infomercial, to be honest) and to keep
pressing ahead with the dream of getting it out there”… Travis Smith, Owner and Physical Therapist, Sac Spine.
“Staff really liked the DVD. You delivered your information very professionally and looked great-They really liked the natural setting of the background and the older exercise persons. The intro was easy to follow and just the right length of time.”
Anne I-O, Area 4 Agency on Aging.
“The presentation was clear, easy to follow and the exercises are
fun--- Demonstrating that someone in a wheelchair
could exercise is good! I think this is a good program for a person at
home or a small group setting at a senior center, nutrition site or
senior housing activity.”
Will T., Area 4 Agency on Aging.
