Time graph for Safe on Your Feet: Fall Prevention

A well-cued program entirely focused on two goals: fall prevention and fall recovery. Besides the traditional strength, balance and coordination exercises, it also focuses on “muscle memory.” Your muscles will learn to anticipate a possible problem (e.g. how a fall “feels” when it begins). And they’ll learn to prevent injury by quickly reacting to regain balance if a fall does start. The moves range from seated warm-ups to slow squats to balancing-on-one-leg routines (while holding onto a chair). Throughout, Cindy Kozacek’s cuing is straight-forward and supportive. 1 to 2 lb. dumbbells are optional. DVD includes a short "Safety Tips" segment. ©2005.

Safe on Your Feet: Fall Prevention

Good for seniors

I bought this for my overweight and deconditioned parents (63 & 66). This is a relatively easy, slow-paced, and short workout for them. My mom is able to get most of the simple choreography, but my dad has a difficult time in some sections. Their heart rates get elevated while doing this video, which is good for their cardiovascular system. For those with knee problems there are front and back lunges which my dad finds challenging and makes his knees ache. Overall good beginning video for those out of shape seniors who need to get started with exercising. - posted by Lea on 7/6/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.
