(9 customer reviews)

Exercise is essential for older populations, offering a multitude of benefits that contribute to overall health and well-being. You could even say it’s crucial to the years ahead

Remember, it’s never too late to start an exercise program and to start getting the benefits. The Sling Method provides a multi-stage exercise plan, which works on all aspects of healthy movement from head to toe. Focusing on posture, joint stability, muscular strength, bending down, reaching up, cross-body movements, balance, core musculature, and total-body co-ordination. Stay active, stay healthy!

:

  1. Reduced Risk of Functional Limitations: Regular physical activity can lower the risk of moderate or severe functional limitations in mid-life and older adults. It helps maintain mobility, independence, and the ability to perform daily tasks.
  2. Slowing Muscle and Bone Loss: As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass and bone density. Exercise helps slow down this loss, preserving strength and bone health. It also reduces the risk of fractures, such as hip or wrist fractures.
  3. Improved Flexibility and Balance: Exercise enhances flexibility, tones muscles, and improves balance. These benefits are crucial for preventing falls and maintaining stability, especially as we age.
  4. Positive Impact on Mental Health: Engaging in physical activity has been shown to improve mental health and well-being among older adults. It can alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, leading to a better quality of life.
  5. Enhanced Cardiovascular Fitness: Regular exercise supports heart health, lowers blood pressure, and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels. It reduces the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
  6. Social Engagement: Group exercise classes or outdoor activities provide opportunities for social interaction, reducing feelings of loneliness and promoting a sense of community.
  7. Better Sleep and Cognitive Function: Exercise positively impacts sleep quality and cognitive function. It keeps the mind sharp and alert, contributing to overall vitality.

Working out with resistance bands is a great way to exercise for the following reasons:

  • Recruit the 'stabilizer' muscles, which support larger muscles and joints when we move, and help reduce the risk of injury.
  • Enhance strength training by mimicking gym equipment like free weights and cable machines.
  • Portable and simple to use, offering an easy alternative to weights.
  • Can be used anywhere and everywhere without a gym.
  • Can be used outdoors in the fresh air. Use a chain link fence, bleachers or even a tree to attach your resistance bands to.
  • Non-intimidating.
  • Improve mobility by providing resistance in multiple directions.
  • Increase coordination by benefiting form and balance.
  • Offer a very budget-friendly option.

    I have known Paul and TSM for some time as I have used his techniques before. I therefore purchased his new book as I have reached the age where these techniques would be really helpful. I have definitely benefitted from this course and would recommend it to anyone. The exercises are fun to do and help to keep you mobile which is very important in later life. I have already noticed the improvements in my balance and understand the connections and how to balance.

    Finding this a superb challenge to my body and my brain. Quite impressive how challenging and varied the program is with just some resistance bands. It seems i overestimated how much my balance was improving doing the gym and Pilates workouts i’d been doing.
    Extremely impressed with Paul’s ability to teach over a video, he is skillful with breaking it all down for us older folks. Making progress and feeling the benefits after just a few weeks.

    I’ve just bought this course for 3 of my buddies after i got it myself 2 months ago. Totally loving it. Showed my buddy a few of the moves and he couldn’t believe how bad he was at them even though he is a regular at Planet Fitness. So now he has it and i even got my wife to get on board Slinging along with Paul. I echo what others have said already, i already feel the difference in my posture and my back pain has almost completely gone, which is why i’m sharing it with my tennis buddies! Thanks Paul

    If i could give it 10 stars i totally would! Been at it for 3 months and lost 34lbs with the Nutrition Essentials ebook too and i’m even surprised i have put on some muscle using bands. I never would have thought some elastic bands would make me grow muscle but it does! I have improved my balance too, can stand on one leg for 30 seconds now and put my socks on standing on one leg. Telling all my old man friends too now!

    Yup, i got it a month ago because my friend Mario showed me some of his new tricks and what a deal with the equipment set too! I do combine this with some gym sessions, but this stuff hits in places that i never felt before, crazy how not lifting and instead using bands makes me sore.

    Positives after for me
    1. do it at home on my off gym days.
    2. My abs are getting a huge workout.
    3. i’m learning things i didn’t know (big bonus for me).
    4. Nothing more to pay after getting my torque bar made $8 total.
    5. I’m a 55 year old with a lot of injuries in the past, so the MFR videos have really helped my back pain!

    Negatives = so far, none! So that’s actually a positive! ha

    Win win.

    Exactly what i wanted, a full body resistance band workout that really challenges me in every way possible. Where have you been for the last 20 years. Couldv’e done with this in my 30s!! My favorite part so far is the exercises with the ankle attachment, my booty was shaking!

    When I started to read Paul’s book I expected more of the same. More of what is generally served up to the public and accepted. What I read however was an eye opener. An approach which makes so much sense. It isn’t difficult to follow either, and, due to its obvious logic, as I read I wondered why everyone isn’t doing it this way. It simply makes sense. It also helps that the video tutorials are made in such a way that they are easy to follow too. Rome wasn’t built in a day so I have been disciplined, but equally I have noticed an improvement in my hip pain more quickly than I expected. I am looking forward to the next session. Thank you Paul, it’s been a game changer.

    I hate to admit it but i am now officially old. At 62 i realized that lifting weights really was not helping me and i have been in pain since i was 45 with on and off PT visits and masseuse bi-weekly. It wasn’t really doing much as i was still lifting and just stagnant. I got the Sling for Older Populations (aaargh can’t believe i said that) and i feel 20 years younger. I followed the self massage MFR videos and they have been life changing. My masseuse never got into the areas i am getting into now and the relief i feel is worth 10x what i paid for the program! Total bargain when you consider everything ive gotten so far and am only on the beginners video. 10********** as 5 just is not enough! Thanks Paul
