THANKS for Complete Manual to save people from falls.
From a person who has previously fell too many times With TBIS And MTBIs before this book. This is an awesome book With balance exercises that are practical Easy to do at any age either standing or sitting. I especially like the ' visualize ' portion of each exercise where by using simple imagined pictures And movements , the exercising can be completed in the correct form. Absolutely love this book recommend Of course. These practices can actually save people's lives, I'm serious about that because I know how dangerous it is to fall cause I've been blessed to survive some serious falls before ... And know others who have had falls that seriously hurt them and ruined the mobility they had ! please be careful out there folks ... finally think about using a cane Before you have to use something Or Are forced to use the wheelchair...... I thought it would never happened to me. But in a fraction of second, A fall Can change your complete life. Thank God for people who write and distribute books as this and for the health professionals who work with us seniors in pt or classes to help us be safer, live better, stay younger ....

I first came across this author last year and was very impressed with her chair exercises for seniors as Amanda creates gentle workouts without the need for lots of equipment that many people don’t own.
I thought I’d try the audio version this time and was equally impressed with Amanda’s skill level and the way she explains so clearly what needs to be achieved. She focuses on exercises which are standing, seated, or lying, to help with balance, posture, strength and flexibility. Even though I’m not a senior, I could feel the benefit when I did them with an older friend!
I can certainly see how this guidance would benefit anyone who is nervous about their declining skills and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to help keep a senior (or themselves) active. I liked the audio element too, as I didn’t need to keep consulting a book so it kept me moving more. A great idea.

Basic exercises
As a chair yoga instructor I had hoped to get some new ideas from this highly-rated book. Everything in the book is great, but most of the things are exercises that we already do. Nonetheless, the book will be a huge help to anyone wanting to work alone to improve balance.

best balance book
This book describes exercises that can actually be done by a person with serious balance problems. (Most books on balance require starting positions that cannot be done.)
