DVD Release Party - New Strength Training DVD

Saturday, December 15, 2007 2:00 - 3:30PM
Lifelong, 119 W. Court Street, Ithaca, NY

Although many claim to exercise, few older Americans participate in regular leisure-time physical activities. That will change with Stay Strong: Lift for Life, a newly released DVD featuring instructor Deborah Bosanko. Ms. Bosanko has been teaching exercises to seniors for more than ten years. This locally made and produced DVD features a 36-minute strength training routine that will keep seniors healthy and fit. Join Debbie and the cast of Stay Strong: Lift for Life at their DVD release party Saturday, December 15, 2 –3:30 pm at Lifelong. Refreshments, prizes and specially priced DVDs will be available.

This event is co-sponsored by Lifelong and CloseToHome Productions. For more information go to www.staystrongliftforlife.com or email info@staystrongliftforlife.com.

Filmed at Island Health and Fitness Club, Stay Strong: Lift for Life was designed with people age 65 and older in mind and shows people from Debbie's class, from Lifelong, as they demonstrate an easy-to-follow and effective exercise routine with chair exercises included. The DVD includes a short warm-up, upper body exercises, lower body exercises, and a brief cool down. This easy to use DVD features a 36-minute total body workout and stand-alone versions of the upper and lower body workouts.
