As I write this in 2008, I have had MS for 45 years. After an especially rough decade from age 45 - 55, I thought I might explore the making of a video that people could use at home, based on what I had done to help me manage, mature and to stay in control of my MS. I made Gentle Fitness from that life experience .. and from my love of teaching. Making Gentle Fitness has been an amazing journey. The time, expense and commitment for a project of this kind was more intense than I could have ever imagined! Having been able to complete a program with the integrity and life of this video-turned-DVD has kept me going, long after I thought I couldn't! I have heartfelt gratefulness to more people than could possibly be named in this space. At the close of Gentle Fitness I am proud to be able to list each "participant" and each "Advisory Board professional". There is a powerful final segment to the program called Meet the Participants. It should be seen be everyone who is healing, or who is a healer.People from the four corners of the globe have told me in their phone calls, e-mails, and letters that Gentle Fitness gives them dignity, calm, and comfort. They tell me, in wonderful unique ways, how the movements and stretches help them feel better! And they just know they've done something smart, something good for themselves ... because they sense it!
Gentle Fitness is not perky or peppy. Neither is it patronizing. It uses the wisdom of the ancient healing arts of Yoga and T'ai Chi. The body mechanics are cued for maximum health benefits and for safety. Using state-of-the-art exercise kinesiology and exercise physiology, the program leads viewers through 113 whole mind / whole body movements and stretches to:
The program is used by people in over 40 countries! Thousands of people use Gentle Fitness year after year - many have worn out their original videos and have gratefully purchased the better technology of the DVD. People in their own homes just keep using it. What better testimony? A video that sits on the bookshelf does no good. They really do use it. Groups at community, senior and hospital wellness centers have had Gentle Fitness on their schedules - without pause - for 10 years and more. There is magic in the wonderful people who are in the program with me. The easy-to-follow movements and stretches flow one to the next. Viewers enjoy the smiles of all, the music, the beauty of the graphics and the many inspirational panels that tick along through the 90-minute program - these are some of the qualities that will keep your patients using and benefiting from the Gentle Fitness DVD.
