I can run up the stairs again - something that I was not able to do for years! Thank you!
Product Description
Don't get older, get stronger in this medically-approved strength training workout DVD for older adults, the handicapped and senior citizens. This DVD is perfect if you are an older adult age 55 or over. Or, if you have an elderly parent or grandparent that is losing strength and flexibility because of aging, or has arthritis or osteoporosis, or in a nursing home or assisted living center, this would make an ideal gift.
Geri-Fit® - the First Workout with Weights for Older Adults, was developed with the help of noted geriatrician, Dr. Martin J. Gorbien. This video features fitness expert Francesca Gern and four of her students ranging in age from 50 to 72.
Geri-Fit® is a 45-minute strength training workout that increases strength in the elderly aiding in independence and improved arthritic conditions. This DVD requires just a set of 2-pound (each) dumbbells and a stretch band or towel. The exercises may be performed seated in a chair, if needed. So, if you are disabled, handicapped, or confined to a wheelchair, this workout can still be performed.
