Strength training is very important as we age.  Strong muscles keep our bodies in balance, protect our organs, and prevent us from falling and other age-related injuries.  Strength training helps to build bone density, reducing the risks of osteoporosis and broken bones. Our muscles remember what it’s like to be strong, hence the term “muscle memory.”  As we age, we need only sharpen that memory.  The exercises in this program will do just that.  Join host Karen Holden as she guides viewers through simple, gentle, yet effective exercises for builder a stronger, healthier body.

Routine Approx. 38 Minutes

QiGong (pronounced "chee gong" and alternatively spelled as "qigong," "qi gong," or "chi kung") is sometimes called “the new yoga” - but the practice dates back thousands of years to ancient China.

The word “qi” (or “chi”) means “life force” or "vital energy of the body," and “gong” means accomplishment or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Qi Gong is specifically designed to cultivate the body's vital energy, using it to heal and strengthen every system throughout the body. Thus, qi gong means “cultivating energy,” and it involves working with energy to strengthen and cleanse the body. Using these Qi Gong DVDs, CDs, and videos will improve your relaxation, reduce pain, and improve your health.
