Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Excellent video loaded with a variety of balance and strengthening segments. I bought this for my fairly active 75 year old mother. As a physical therapist, I wanted to preview the dvd for correct technique and cueing. I was very pleased with the great cueing and careful instruction on correct form and body positioning in each of the sections. This dvd is great for seniors of all ability levels. Jane has incorporated seated strengthening and core work, to stationary balance, to dynamic balance activities demonstrated with and without a chair for upper extremity support. Tai Chi is a great way to improve balance and in often used by therapy professionals to improve the balance of their clients. Jane "teaches" the 8 basic tai chi movements, then has a section to practice the movements, before using the movements in the full body practice. Pleased to see a well done video for this population. I have often seen videos that don't use correct form and can lead to injury. Janes cueing is very clear to help the participant with correct technique. The beautiful outdoor setting is relaxing. Falls are the leading cause of injury in seniors. I highly recommend this video to improve balance and strength, resulting in improved overall mobility and decreasing risk for falls.
