Profile...
Dorothy Chrisman is the author and
developer of the nationally acclaimed adult exercise program, BODY
RECALL. At a time when adult exercise was limited to a tiny segment of
people, she designed a program that was inclusive and which has taken
adult fitness to new heights. Thousands of adults across the nation have
found her possible, pain-flee, risk-free, enjoyable approach to exercise
to be the means through which they can pursue an independent lifestyle.
Her publications and extensive travels to lead workshops and deliver
addresses have brought attention to positive exercise options for adults
and have brought recognition and honors to her as a national advocate
and leader for lifetime fitness. She has created training programs for
teachers seeking certification in BODY RECALL, and hundreds have developed
classes in their own communities. She has written a text, BODY RECALL:
A PROGRAM OF PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR THE ADULT, now in its 9th
edition, which serves as a foundation for students of BODY
RECALL. Through musically accompanied fitness pieces created by using
exercises from her text, student focus shifted from monitoring heart
rates, increasing repetitions and duration, and breaking a sweat, to
increased range of motion (joint mobility), balance, coordination,
strength and agility that could be incorporated into their every day
lives.
