Balance Basics and Beyond - with Carol Dickman
Format: DVD
Length: 53 minutes

BALANCE BASICS AND BEYOND consists of easy exercises to improve your balance. It is aimed at seniors and anyone - regardless of age - wishing to improve their balance. Carol joins two experienced teachers in the instruction of four classes - two one-on-one sessions and two group classes. Each ranges in time from 7 to 17 minutes, and all can be adjusted in degrees of difficulty. Viewers can practice their balance training with a different class daily, either in the privacy of their home or in a group setting outside the home. One segment is especially scripted for the blind and visually impaired. Also included are short motivational sequences and balancing tips. Shot entirely on location in Las Vegas, the program is fun, entertaining and effective.

"Good balance is essential at any age, and even more so as we get older. It's usually an indication that the mind/body connection is in good working order. I have known Carol Dickman for over a decade and can vouch for her expertise in the area of fitness. I feel very confident in recommending this balance video to all comers who seek a healthy life."

"Emergency room physicians can all testify to the high prevalence of fall related injuries in the older adult. Many factors contribute to this vulnerability but the results are the same: pain, disability, and loss of function. Carol Dickman's Balance Basics and Beyond offers the proactive health conscious individual a program designed to reduce this risk."
