Active Aging Fall Prevention & Balance Workout

Presented by Lawrence Biscontini, MA & Bernadette O’Brien
Designed to accompany the SCW Active Aging Certification, this experience integrates cutting-edge research on fall-prevention and gait efficiency for Active Agers. Active Aging Movement Coaches (AAMCs) will learn dozens of skills and drills to incorporate with their participants to decrease future falls. The first half integrates dynamic gait patterns designed to strengthen the lower extremities during various gait skills. The second half integrates slower-paced skills and drills like “Leaning Tower,” designed to strengthen the adductors and help clients face their fear of falling. Join 85 year-young Bernadette O’Brien and Lawrence Biscontini for this practical application of cutting-edge movement. Note: As a stand-alone sequence, we recommend adding sections from the WarmUp and Balance & Flexibility Workouts in this series to form a complete experience.
