Certified instructor description: A well-cued program entirely focused on two goals: fall prevention and fall recovery. Besides the traditional strength, balance and coordination exercises, it also focuses on “muscle memory.” Your muscles will learn to anticipate a possible problem (e.g. how a fall “feels” when it begins). And they’ll learn to prevent injury by quickly reacting to regain balance if a fall does start. The moves range from seated warm-ups to slow squats to balancing-on-one-leg routines (while holding onto a chair). Throughout, Cindy Kozacek’s cuing is straight-forward and supportive. 1 to 2 lb. dumbbells are optional. DVD includes a short "Safety Tips" segment. ©2005.

Safe on Your Feet: Fall Prevention

Safe on Your Feet
This is a great video for older adults. Also very good in the group mode at my mobile home park clubhouse. Cindy has 3 levels of exercises so everyone is able to go at their pace. I highly recommend this video especially if you are home-bound. On a scale of 10 I would rate this video a nine. - posted by Merry on 3/22/2012

Very helpful since I've been having trouble with balance. It's too soon to see if it's helping with strength yet, but think it will in time. - posted by Loretta on 2/16/2012

Good for older adults
I use this video with3 of my 80-90 yr. old friends that come to my home twice a week--their main concern is falling and balance, this seems to help them and they like it. Some moves are faster than they would like, but other than that, it's a great exercise for seniors. - posted by Marilyn on 2/4/2011

I am 81 years old and I prefer a slower paced program. - posted by Lois on 2/3/2011

good workout, everyone can work at their own rate there are 3 different levels going at the same time so you can follow the one thats best for you. - posted by Barbara on 12/23/2010
good for seniors
Although I don't consider myself a senior (I'm in my mid-50s), I bought this video because within the past year two friends who are my age suffered falls that resulted in broken shoulders. I am mostly sedentary, I know my balance isn't what it used to be, and I figured this would help. What I learned is that I'm in better shape than I thought--exercises were not very challenging, but very useful in helping me figure out what I need to do to improve my balance and strengthen my lower body. I really liked the instructor and found this to be an excellent video in terms of delivering what's advertised--useful instruction for seniors and strengthening exercises to improve balance and help prevent falls. - posted by Jane on 5/26/2010
Good for seniors
I bought this for my overweight and deconditioned parents (63 & 66). This is a relatively easy, slow-paced, and short workout for them. My mom is able to get most of the simple choreography, but my dad has a difficult time in some sections. Their heart rates get elevated while doing this video, which is good for their cardiovascular system. For those with knee problems there are front and back lunges which my dad finds challenging and makes his knees ache. Overall good beginning video for those out of shape seniors who need to get started with exercising. - posted by Lea on 7/6/2008
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
