Body Recall
Trinity Health System's Body Recall Program is a safe, tested program
of gentle exercise and movement developed for the living longer
population.
Where did Body Recall originate?
It was developed in 1978 by Dorothy Chrisman of the Berea College
Physical Education Department.
Who teaches the classes?
Only specially trained instructors who have attended classes
at Body Recall in Berea, KY, can teach the classes.
What can I expect to get from the class?
A gentle movement that will help circulation to all parts of
the body without threatening the heart. You will gain an increased
awareness of how your own particular body functions and a sense
of achievement as you begin to gain control over the body you
thought could never be called back to some of its former vitality
and flexibility.
And... FUN AND FELLOWSHIP
How long are the classes?
Each class lasts one hour. The classes meet three (3) times each
week, because that is the minimum amount of time you can spend
working on the body and expect to feel the benefits. The whole
course is ten (l0) weeks, making a total of thirty (30) lessons.
Is there a book that goes with the class?
Yes. The book, BODY RECALL; A PROGRAM: OF PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR
THE ADULT, by Dorothy Chrisman, 6th Edition, 1993, will be studied
in the classes.
Will I get tired, sweaty, or be exhausted from the classes?
No! BODY RECALL is a different approach to movement. You may
need to DO it to BELIEVE it!
What benefits have others reported from these classes?
"I can open the car door with fingers I thought had stiffened
forever"...age 72."I never feel obliged to do something
my body cautions against, but instead am respected for listening
to my own body"...age 39."The class has affected my
well being, attitude toward myself and my general health in a
very positive way"...age 68."Energy!...I didn't know
it was supposed to have this effect. Wow!"...age 66."It's
amazing how much I have gotten from the program!"...age 75."My
head turns without pain, I sleep without pain killers, I feel
a surge of energy"...age 66.
What do I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothes and shoes that are safe and good for
your feet. No special "exercise togs" are necessary.
