Exercise For Your Heart - The Beat Goes On
Trillium's Cardiac Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre (CWRC) recently developed an exercise video for patients to use at home entitled 'Exercise For Your Heart - The Beat Goes On'. This resistance training exercise video is specifically designed for cardiac patients or seniors, but is applicable to anyone embarking on a new exercise routine. The video is safe, comprehensive and easy to follow. It features two options for resistance training - Free Weights (dumbbells) and Exercise Tubing.
The exercise video is just over 36 minutes in length and begins with a warm-up, two options for resistance training, and finishes with a cool-down, stretching out all muscles used in the video.
The idea for this video came right form the patients in the CWRC. Resistance training is vital and not always something patients feel comfortable doing at home on their own. This video allows patients to exercise in their home with the company of video instruction.
The feedback from
patients has been overwhelmingly positive.
To Purchase
The Exercise For Your Heart video can be purchased in both DVD and VHS format from Trillium for only $19.95.
Hospitals, Seniors' Homes and Community Centres have the opportunity to purchase this video and customize it for their own use with their logo and a brief introduction. Personalized casings are also available.
