The Sr.Fit is an excellent program that provide fitness professionals valuable information regarding many aspects of exercise program design for seniors. I liked the way the information was presented in the manual by the author, Tammy Peterson. In addition, the manual provide access to additional resources that can be applied to senior exercise programs. I also liked the companion DVDs featuring Wayne Westcott lecturing about exercise program design for seniors as well as the CD ROM with FAQ regarding important aspects of senior exercise fitness programs! As part of my learning journey, it was a great investment.
