Product Description

2015 EDITION DETAILS:

COPD /Asthma Session 1:

This 22 minute COPD workout features an exercise routine focused on
increasing lung strength and capacity. While the need to learn breathing
techniques may be obvious, exercise is just as vital a component to
living; failure to regularly exercise leads to even weaker levels of lung
strength! Suzanne Andrews, Occupational Therapy Practitioner with the
popular Functional Fitness Public Television series, guides you with
breathing and body exercise routines that combine efficiency with
simplicity of execution, leading to improved breathing. Suzanne also
includes an additional 10 minute energy conservation techniques to improve
your ability to cook, dress, play with your pet and more to help you stay
active and get more enjoyment out of life. Light hand weights are used or
substitute with soup cans.

BONUS! COPD / Asthma Session 2:

By focusing on progression of strengthening your breathing muscles through
a combination of medically proven leg strengthening and walking moves
integrated with arm strengthening and breathing exercises, COPD 2 helps
restore and maintain your quality of life. Filmed on a beautiful Florida
riverfront, this 36 minute bonus workout features guided pulmonary therapy
breaks to check your oxygen level and heart rate. Light hand weights are
used.

COPD is a lung disease that limits airflow and causes shortness of breath. Normally easy tasks such as walking to a car, having a shower, and performing household duties can make the simple task of breathing very difficult. If you or a loved one live with asthma, bronchitis or emphysema, this medically engineered DVD program can help you improve your mobility. Performing the routines on this DVD can improve your ability to breathe, increase your enjoyment to participate in daily activities, and release stress. Occupational Therapy Practitioner Suzanne Andrews instructs you with gentle therapeutic breathing and specially designed exercise techniques to help increase your lung capacity. Exercise is essential because the less active you are, the weaker your muscles get. Weak muscles need more oxygen and this causes a chain reaction of being short of breath. Suzanne guides you with easy to follow, yet effective, techniques to create stronger breathing muscles. You have a choice of performing the movements seated or standing. The DVD also contains special therapeutic energy conservation techniques to improve your ability to cook, dress, play with your pet and more to help you stay active and get more enjoyment out of life.
