Thanks, Judy! Cheers to better fall prevention, reaction time and improving on 4 of 5 types of aging! Much love, Erika

Thank you Erika! I always learn so much for your fantastic videos.

Oh, Patricia! Thanks for the comment and feedback. I was just back at PA and shot another Active Aging mat class, incorporating these strategies! Much love, Erika

Enjoyed this! I was a bit frightened for the fall-and-catch part though. Spotting or some other safety precaution with seniors...? I've worked this kind of scene and you just have to be aware of the "what if's” and prepare accordingly! ?? good focus on a very important issue!! Thanks!

Erika, I do not agree with your tutorial teaching of aging clients, it all depends on how their hips are and knees, actually if they do have those problems you can injure them and worser their problems. I would recommend however to check with their doc. before they do the Bosu ball exercise. thank you. blanche.

Thank you, Tessa and Blanche for the feedback. Blanche, I agree with you. In fact, I mention that this is a heterogeneous group of people, meaning no one person (especially as Active Agers) are the same and we will see many issues, surgeries and/or contraindicated situations. These are general recommendations from ACE and International Council on Active Aging, but should certainly be tailored to the person you are working with. Much love, Erika

Such clear descriptions. So needed as pilates-buffs cross over the line past 55

Cynthia Thank you so much, Cynthia! This is my passion and much more to come on this in the future. Much love, Erika

Could you please share the Shoenfelder link on strengthening the QL and anterior tibialis? I can’t seem to find it. I may be spelling his name wrong…😳
