Request a book at your library:
I love libraries! Did you know that my books are available at the Ottawa Public Library? If you live in another city, you can request that they purchase a book. This blog explains how to do it. And if you'd like to request they purchase one of my books, you can find details you'll need for your request by following the book links on my Amazon Author Page.
WHAT'S NEW:
Audiobook alert! Balance Exercises for Fall Prevention is now available as an audiobook (that's the link to access it). If you've downloaded the audio version, you can visit the audiobook page with exercise illustrations here (password required).

My tenth book, Chair Exercises for Fall Prevention, is now available. The exercises in this book improve balance, increase muscle and bone strength, liberate joints throughout your body, and boost your confidence. And best of all, you can stay in your chair to complete every single exercise.

Free online workouts for seniors!
I created four 30-minute exercise videos for the Ottawa Public Library. You can access the videos on their YouTube channel 1. Standing Mobility Workout 2. Standing Strength Workout 3. Seated Workout 4. Lying Down Workout |
The online courses, 3 Days to Better Balance and Balance 2.0, are now unlocked and available for free.
These mini courses will help you improve body awareness and coordination, strengthen your brain-body connection, and learn how to use your feet more - taking off your shoes and getting those feet activated! The exercises and tips are designed to improve muscle strength, joint flexibility, and body awareness. All of these components are critical to maintaining good balance as you age. |
My mission is one of health promotion. I want to help you add more movement, both exercise and non-exercise activity, to your busy life so you can feel better and enjoy life. Are you too busy to go to a gym to workout? Perhaps you're uncomfortable working out in a public setting. I make fitness more accessible to you. My first book, Move More, Your Life Depends On It: Practical Tips to Add More Movement to Your Day, offers common sense solutions to help you add non-exercise activity to your busy life. My second book, Balance and Your Body: How Exercise Can Help You Avoid a Fall, is geared to seniors who want to maintain their independence and prevent falls. If you're a professional sitter, and you spend too many hours in a seated position every day, my third book, Your Job Is Killing You: A User's Guide to Sneaking Exercise Into Your Work Day, is for you.
