Follow on Google News | Picture Yourself Fit: The Functional Fitness Series Delivers Optimal HealthRecommended by the top physicians in the country, Functional Fitness is the only line of DVD fitness instruction that is taught by an occupational therapy practitioner and focuses on function for baby boomers.
By: Healthwise Exercise The Functional Fitness package comes with eight discs, each targeting core health areas such as arthritis, brain power, asthma and bone strength, to name a few. Tailored for the mature body, Functional Fitness offers versatility--- Clients who follow Andrews’ health program sing its praises, from the grandmother who has found a new love of skiing with her grandchildren, to doctors who applaud the care and compassion Andrews has put into her work. Followers of Functional Fitness find that the daily exercise and breathing routines help them lose weight, reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure, increases bone density and helps improve short-term memory. Andrews, the instructor and creator of Functional Fitness, wants those using her collection to know that its never too late to begin a fitness regimen, although the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see results. Functional Fitness appeals not only to the veteran exerciser, but the novice or returning student as well. Andrews encourages those who been leading a sedentary lifestyle to kick start their healthy lifestyle as soon as possible. Because Functional Fitness allows the user to pace themselves, it’s the perfect option for someone who’s not sure where to begin their new regimen. Shattering the common fear that exercise will lead to injury, Andrews advises that people are more likely to suffer damage from being sedentary than they are from incorporating exercise into their regular routine. Regular exercise strengthens bones and muscles and pumps blood more efficiently to the heart, making the body less prone to accidents and better able to recover after injury. Dr. Paul D’Arezzo, author of the book “Functional Fitness: Look Younger, Stay Active Longer.” praises Andrews as a compassionate and dedicated instructor who gets results. "Suzanne, as a fellow medical professional, I appreciate the fact that you are an occupational therapy practitioner which implies a certain level of compassion and understanding that sometimes I think run of the mill instructors lack and how much small changes in strength and function can make a big difference in the quality of some people's lives. I have always felt that in an exercise program what people really want are things that help them to maintain function for as long as possible, to stay independent and to keep doing all the things they need and want to do for as long as possible. And thus, it seems, the biggest bang for the buck are exercises like yours that closely mimic and use muscle groups we need for everyday life." Dr. Mache Seibel, MD, Founder of HealthRock, describes Functional Fitness as accessible, cost-effective and universal and strongly believes that this series will make “an important difference in your life.” http://www.youtube.com/ Participants who are currently using the Functional Fitness methods have reported a renewed sense of energy, better focus and an overall feeling of well-being. They credit Andrew’s revolutionary program with allowing them to experience things they never thought possible. " Before Suzanne Andrews I could not or did not look forward to daily exercise. Now, just try to keep me away! I am proud of what I have accomplished thanks to Fat Burning and Arthritis DVD's. It is remarkable, that I actually look forward to exercise. For over forty years, I would say, "Oh what I would do, to become committed to exercise that I love. I wish I could get a blood transfusion from one of those people that wake up each morning and just can't wait to throw on clothes and go run or work out. That's all I ever wanted. Thanks to you I have it. I can do it in my living room just like you promised. Going to a gym (which I have never done in my life) is out of the question. I have always been a Mom and Grandma who plays though. I ride bikes, even snow skied down a mountain in the bright full moon in upstate NY this winter (all thanks to you). Trust me, had I not been working with you daily, I would never repeat NEVER tried to snow ski again. Thanks to you, I am going to do all the stuff with my four grandkids (and counting) that I did with my children. Whatever you are teaching on the air-waves....it crossed that barrier in my thick skull. For that....not only do I thank you, but all those who love me...they feel they know you and your cast. The grandkids are 2,3,6, and 7 years of age. They get right in there and do whatever you tell them to do too. I figure nothing is as contagious as a good example. To everyone, I send a Big Thank you. Thank you doesn't seem enough. Here is a good tidbit....My son went to UF in Gainesville. His true love has always been fire fighting and Paramedics. He called me yesterday, to make sure that I am keeping up with you! He said, if my foot was hurting too bad, he would send me a workout that I could do without pounding my foot. I told him, Thanks, but I have Suzanne, no matter what's wrong, short of being comatose, I can work with her!" Liz Di Pasquale, FL What’s Included 1.)
