Suggestions for those beginning rehab of their lifestyle

To prevent falls, get up and down from a chair quickly, walk briskly, recover from being thrown off balance,or even brake quickly in a car: you need muscle power.  Muscle power declines faster than muscle strength over time: and most significantly after the age of 60.  Good news: water resistance can be very effective. In a supervised setting, using oversized water resistance equipment on your hands, and feet, an older adult can enhance improve their muscle power, and have a better chance at staying independent . Muscle power exercises in the spa are also beneficial to the same goal.Contact Mary E Sanders at www.waterfit.com for more information
