Hello and welcome everyone! From time to time I want to update everyone on
my fitness classes. "Balance Your Life" class is in it's third year. Over 1100 men
and women have enrolled...avg. age 65. We use an exercise ball, resistance bands and for some, a folding chair. I have people from all walks of life, 7 use a walker and 3 are in wheel chairs. 7 are mentally and physically challenged...and they are the "stars" of the show. FUNCTIONAL BALANCE is the foundation of the program. No weights, no getting on the floor to do pushups and situps. I
never cease to be amazed at the progress the participants make from one class
to another. I have added reflex balls, soccer, tennis balls, dodgeball and standing on sponge mats with 2 feet and one foot and at the same time catch various size
balls. 50% of the exercises are designed to stimulate the brain. The brain MUST send the proper signal to the muscles in order to have functional balance. It is
rewarding for all of us to actually see and experience functional body movement.
Have a great and meaningful life everyone! Jimmy O
