FallProof! Certification weekend....

Ok, I'm down in beautiful (and exceptionally warm for January) Southern California to observe the practical exam for students who have completed the 6-month online FallProof course. Upon successful completion of the exam this weekend, these instructors will be certified to teach the most up-to-date, scientifically researched fall prevention techniques as part of their classes. And with that honor comes professional referrals to your specific location.
I am excited about meeting new people who are passionate about reducing the prevalence of falls through effective, professionally designed activities. Part of the routines are done while seated and part focuses on real-life, dynamic movement that challenges senses that affect your balance.
I already met Don Rapp, a Gerontologist, ACSM Personal Trainer and man who refers to himself as a "Balance Enhancement Specialist"! Do you believe it? Great minds think alike as he and I both refer to ourselves as Balance Enhancement Specialists! He is here to take the practical exam. Good luck, Don. Click here to check out his website.
As an instructor who teaches fall risk reduction classes for the City of Sacramento's 50+ Wellness program and an independently contracted senior fitness trainer, I am always wanting to expand my knowledge base and keep current on research and new techniques. Dr. Debra Rose is an icon in the fall prevention exercise world so to be here is quite an honor. Fall Prevention exercise doesn't get much better than this.
As the producer of an awesome fall risk reduction DVD series, Take 5 to Exercise, I am thrilled to see that my senior exercise video program is right on time. Take 5 to Exercise promotes consistent activity, improved range of motion (aka, flexibility), increased strength, practicing proper posture, and maintaining total body balance.
