This evidence-based program was developed through research conducted with the Sanford Center for Aging, University of Nevada. Participants exercised in the water and improved their daily activities on land. Those who remain active in the program continue to report better living on land. Over 50 exercises designed by Mary E. Sanders, Ph.D., FACSM, Cathy Maloney-Hills, a registered Physical Therapist and Mary Curry, a WaterFit® Trainer and ASCM® certified instructor are presented. This DVD is designed to accompany the text: Golden Waves®, Functional Water Training for Health.
