Step Party's Roadtrip

I had a wonderful opportunity this week to travel to East Georgia Health Care Center to speak at a Healthy Living Class. I was able to share some of my current research on the best type of exercises for different disease processes. Through my research, I found that progressive strength training has shown to be very beneficial for people with chronic diseases. Progressive strength training is where the participants advance to higher demand level at their own pace. It is recommended that the participants start out with 2 sets of 8 repetitions for all of the major muscle groups twice weekly. This alone has shown significant improvements in the overall health of individuals with cardiac disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases. I was able to design a program base on my research for these particular individuals. I designed a chair base routine using the resist a band. I demonstrated exercises for all the major muscle groups and I also gave options for progression. The participants in the healthy living class were amazed on how this workout with the resist a band could improve their health. They were also amazed that they had completed their first workout by the end of the class. I have decided that in addition to filming the Party 3 series, I will be filming "Progressive Party" for individuals with chronic diseases and/or individuals that are just starting out. I really enjoyed teaching this class and this road trip has revealed to me my purpose.
