From a Joyful, Determined Woman

"In the condo-retirement home to my joy I found the Betty Switkes tape playing five days a week. I never missed a playing. After three months I notice that I had developed a range of motion in my neck that I hadnšt had for years. In spite of my daily exercise and careful diet I had a heart attack and congestive heart failure. It was several months before I could get back to my chair exercises.

I sent for my own tapeSand started back into the exercises slowly. In less than a year I was doing the exercises again. One day I realized I had my hands together behind my back. I had done it naturally after my shoulders had been frozen for years. I found my abdominal muscles were stronger and my urinary muscles were being strengthened. DI also stand more nearly straight and no longer follow my chin when walking down the hall.

I send my thanks to Betty Switkes." Dora Scheidecker, Beaverton, OR. 78 years.

From an Educator

"Just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed recommending your videos and how helpful they have been in our Diabetes Education program. As a nurse educator, it is my job to try to improve lifestyle and to encourage activity do weight-bearing activities. Showing them your video gives them an alternative that is both fun and within their ability to do. I now can show your video and say, "See, anyone can do exercise." I also plan on getting your Gentle Exercise video for my uncle for a Christmas present (he has diabetes and due to complications and he is unable to walk). Thank you for helping to make my job easier!" Phyllis Mahalo, Diabetes Educator, Kapi'olani Medical Center, Pali Momi, Hawaii
