Product Description
-------------------
Ordered by wife. I have severe asthma, polymyalgia rhuematica.
(form of ). It was easier to sit and not move because of
pain. Of course, you then have more and bigger problems with
walking, standing and you are just plain weak- sitting all day
your muscles get weak very fast when not in use. I was crying
because I couldn't even get out of a chair let alone walk a few
feet with feeling like my legs would give out and the pain...I
can't tell you how much I hurt. The doctor told me to start
exercising and to take it slow. I was physically fit until age
70. When I was diagnose with PMR and asthma. I had to look for
senior exercise as I'm 74 and can't bounce around anymore. I
bought this exercise program because of the ratings. It s
wonderful. Use this 5 to 6 days week. Alternating discs. I feel
great. I can now get out of the chair with no assistance and walk
further than I have in a long time. I almost feel like myself
again. I recommend this to everyone 60 years and above (50's too)
no need to jump around for exercise. Ann Pringle Burnell is
awesome in leading the exercise. I have been using this for two
weeks. What a difference in the way i feel and move. You get a
total body workout sitting in a chair. I was so weak and now I'm
getting stronger by the day. Do not hesitate to get "Stronger
Seniors". My husband and friends notice the difference in the way
I'm moving. I LOVE THIS EXERCISE PROGRAM. DO NOT HESITATE TO
PURCHASE THIS.
