COPD /Asthma Session 1:



This 22 minute COPD workout features an exercise routine focused on

increasing lung strength and capacity. While the need to learn breathing

techniques may be obvious, exercise is just as vital a component to

living; failure to regularly exercise leads to even weaker levels of lung

strength! Suzanne Andrews, Occupational Therapy Practitioner with the

popular Functional Fitness Public Television series, guides you with

breathing and body exercise routines that combine efficiency with

simplicity of execution, leading to improved breathing. Suzanne also

includes an additional 10 minute energy conservation techniques to improve

your ability to cook, dress, play with your pet and more to help you stay

active and get more enjoyment out of life. Light hand weights are used or

substitute with soup cans.



BONUS! COPD / Asthma Session 2:



By focusing on progression of strengthening your breathing muscles through

a combination of medically proven leg strengthening and walking moves

integrated with arm strengthening and breathing exercises, COPD 2 helps

restore and maintain your quality of life. Filmed on a beautiful Florida

riverfront, this 36 minute bonus workout features guided pulmonary therapy

breaks to check your oxygen level and heart rate. Light hand weights are

used.



COPD is a lung disease that limits airflow and causes shortness of breath. Normally easy tasks such as walking to a car, having a shower, and performing household duties can make the simple task of breathing very difficult. If you or a loved one live with asthma, bronchitis or emphysema, this medically engineered DVD program can help you improve your mobility. Performing the routines on this DVD can improve your ability to breathe, increase your enjoyment to participate in daily activities, and release stress. Occupational Therapy Practitioner Suzanne Andrews instructs you with gentle therapeutic breathing and specially designed exercise techniques to help increase your lung capacity. Exercise is essential because the less active you are, the weaker your muscles get. Weak muscles need more oxygen and this causes a chain reaction of being short of breath. Suzanne guides you with easy to follow, yet effective, techniques to create stronger breathing muscles. You have a choice of performing the movements seated or standing. The DVD also contains special therapeutic energy conservation techniques to improve your ability to cook, dress, play with your pet and more to help you stay active and get more enjoyment out of life.

Ordered by wife. I have severe asthma, polymyalgia rhuematica. (form of arthritis). It was easier to sit and not move because of pain. Of course, you then have more and bigger problems with walking, standing and you are just plain weak- sitting all day your muscles get weak very fast when not in use. I was crying because I couldn't even get out of a chair let alone walk a few feet with feeling like my legs would give out and the pain...I can't tell you how much I hurt. The doctor told me to start exercising and to take it slow. I was physically fit until age 70. When I was diagnose with PMR and asthma. I had to look for senior exercise as I'm 74 and can't bounce around anymore. I bought this exercise program because of the ratings. It s wonderful. Use this 5 to 6 days week. Alternating discs. I feel great. I can now get out of the chair with no assistance and walk further than I have in a long time. I almost feel like myself again. I recommend this to everyone 60 years and above (50's too) no need to jump around for exercise. Ann Pringle Burnell is awesome in leading the exercise. I have been using this for two weeks. What a difference in the way i feel and move. You get a total body workout sitting in a chair. I was so weak and now I'm getting stronger by the day. Do not hesitate to get "Stronger Seniors". My husband and friends notice the difference in the way I'm moving. I LOVE THIS EXERCISE PROGRAM. DO NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE THIS.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this unit play in the loop mode
Answer:	Thank you for reaching out! Yes this unit will play videos on repeat.
Question:	will this playback DVD +rw media
Answer:	yes, it has played everything I have thrown at it, very versatile.
Question:	dose this player remember where it stops
Answer:	Don't you just love all the conflicting answers to this simple question? So I'm going to assume using good faith that everyone is answering truthfully. Then logically that means there are several variations of the Panasonic DVD Player DVD-S700 where this function does not work on one variation (let's say maybe the black version) and it does on the white version. How else can you explain that I just received the black version and there's no way this resume function works using any of the straightforward or convoluted instruction provided in the manual, in the answers below, or instructions found by googling. Sorry folks, if you want the safe answer, it is no this does not resume where you left off after stopping (not pausing since that would be a "dah") the episode. Just as an aside, I've owned many dvd players over the years, and this is the first one I've encountered where this function doesn't work.
Question:	Why not get a BluRay player that upscales regular DVDs? Wouldn't that be far more versatile
Answer:	I'm getting this over a modern Blu-ray player for a number of reasons. A. This device can be easily unlocked to play any region DVD's, a region free Blu-ray player costs around $200. B. I want a dedicated DVD player that is made strictly for that purpose as I have a huge DVD collection and not many Blu-ray's, for many Blu-ray players, the DVD aspect is somewhat of an afterthought and not the purpose of the machine, you will notice in reading Blu-ray player reviews, people often complain about their players not playing older dvd's getting error messages with DVD's ect., it is a different technology and an "add on " for a Blu-ray player. C. Modern Blu-ray players try to do too much, they have all this technology and bells and whistles, there are a lot more things to go wrong in them, freeze up and fry the machines, ect., they also are constantly getting on the internet and updating software and that can make the machine more prone to go bad too with one bad line of code or a virus. My Sony Blu-ray player jumped on the internet and reported me to Sony because it thought the disk I was watching was a bootleg, my player actually tattled on me while whatching a movie and the machine froze and I got a notice in my email from Sony accusing me of pirating. In any event for me anyway, there are a number of reasons I would choose a good basic player for $50 and not have all the bells, whistles and headaches. Here's another interesting article related to modern Blu-ray players, apparently they only work as long as they keep updating copyrights, and the company can decide at any given time not to update older machines, and you will never be able to watch newer disks once this happens. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/09/26/call-kurtis-why-your-samsung-blu-ray-player-may-not-play-your-movies/
