“Take 5 To Exercise is not intended to address cardiovascular fitness but rather, to provide a fall prevention regimen for elders who need gentle exercise. The workouts 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. Additionally, Kelly Ward comes through as a genuine and very caring person and trainer.

“I have more energy after doing these exercises”, Laura S., age 90.

“I feel great after I Take 5 to Exercise.  I know I just started, but I feel stronger and more balanced.  These exercises work.  This is not just chair exercise but Fall Prevention movements”. Thelma M., age 82, prior stroke patient.

"Your exercises are great for ANYONE!  Everyone can benefit from these exercises", Mable, age 100.

“I love these exercises because Kelly keeps us moving”,

"Where were you 10 years ago?", Bonnie, age 78

"I love Take 5 for Flexibility!~  I have spinal stenosis and all the exercises make me feel good.  I do these exercises everyday.  Thank you, Kelly!"

"This program saved my life.  I have learned so much about my body and how to move properly in order to reduce the risk of fall.  Thank you."

"I love these exercises!  I follow along and talk to you as you instruct me to do the exercises.  I love the scenery, too!"

"This program is the best thing ever.  I am so grateful to be part of this life-changing balance and mobility training program.  I didn't realize how much there was to know about falls until I met you.  Thank you for saving my life!"

 “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.” 

“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.”
