A different kind of exercise book, far different than the repetitive, everyday workout guide, Movement with Meaning makes exercising fun and meaningful. Exercises are designed for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, combining gentle dance movements, simple yoga poses, and breathing exercises with music, poetry, sensory activities and reminiscence. Each exercise is carefully described, illustrated and accompanied by suggested themes and activities. RTs, OTs, PTs and activity directors will find this program invaluable for strengthening the skills of older adults while also providing entertaining activities. Author: Barbara Larsen. (224 pp)
