Aerorobics - Exercises to help prevent |
 
 |
Twenty years ago, Glenda Baum (MCSP, SRP, MSc), a well established Chartered Physiotherapist, devised “Aquarobics”, the system of keep fit, exercise-to-music in water. The system became so popular that the word “aquarobics” is now a generic term included in the dictionary! Glenda has now developed a new system of exercise to carry out while flying, without disturbing other passengers. Designed to prevent swelling and swollen ankles, and more importantly life-threatening deep-vein-thrombosis, these exercises also reduce general aches, tension and stiffness of "Economy Class Syndrome". Exercise is particularly important if flying while pregnant to reduce health risks.(The exercises are equally useful on long car, bus or train journeys.)
"Aerorobics" as this system is called is described in detail in Glenda's popular “Little Book of Healthy Flying”, published by Arrow Books in July 2001. However it is generally accepted that the effectiveness of exercise is maximised when carried out with an instructor and ideally to music. This is where Glenda’s husband, Professor Harold Baum (BSc, PhD, FRSC, FIBiol, FKC), Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry and Visiting Professor in Immunology at King’s College London, comes in. Harold is famous in his own right for setting unlikely subjects to music - his “Biochemists’ Songbook”, (metabolic pathways set to traditional melodies), is a renowned international best-seller, and his “Biorhythms I & II”, (O-Level General and Human Biology set to original music), have been widely featured on radio and TV. He has been described as “the world’s leading exponent of the biological ballad”!
Harold has now converted all the Aerorobic exercises as clear, instructional (but entertaining) lyrics, and had them set to music. We are proud to announce that the album, “Songs for Healthy Flying”, is now available for purchase on this site as a CD or cassette tape. Whilst enjoyable in their own right, the songs are primarily designed to conduct listeners through the exercise in the right way and at the right pace. The Little Book and Songs CD-Rom or cassette can be purchased together as a package here. Home
