Fantastic Book on Core Exercises for Seniors!

When I go to yoga classes, the teacher often takes one look at me as I walked into the room and announces to the class, "Today, we will focus on core poses!" LOL I am resistant (and always have been) of working my core. That said...............I love this book! The exercises are fairly easy to do (some extremely easy) and very effective. The illustrations are very good. I bought the spiral edition which makes it easy to lay the book flat as you follow the easy step-by-step instructions on the page on the right facing of each exercise--the illustrations of the exercise appears on the left page

Keep moving

I liked this book because it was very easy to follow, VERY effective. I bought my first book a good 9, 10 months ago or longer and after 3 months my husband went from a size 38 to a size 36. AMAZING!!! I did buy another one recently and pass it on to a good friend of mine who has a hard time with exercising. She has found it also extremely easy to follow and is attempting to get her husband to work out with her.It's something that couples can do together and have fun!

Easy to follow

I like this booklet very much. An easy exercises for seniors without straining your body. A big factor for me is I don't have to go out in bad weather and I do the exercises any time I want.

Love it

This book is just perfect for this 75 year old lady, especially because it is written by a certified Silver Sneakers fitness instructor. The print is a good size, there are colorful illustrations, the directions are clear and include modifications and tips to remember, plus other basic info about the core. I got the spiral bound and well worth every penney.

Well-done Book!

I teach chair yoga (although we do a lot of standing movements and poses), and I've incorporated some of these exercises into my routines. This is a well-done, well-thought out book. Excellent explanation of what muscles are being worked. Also notes modifications. Perfect illustrations and instructions. Would highly recommend even for personal use. I bought the spiral-bound copy. Easier to peruse.

Awesom

I love this book. I purchased the spiral book so I could flip through with ease. Very easy to understand and great pictures. I was able to start right away with the chair exercises and look forward to the standing exercises soon. Very happy with this purchase. I am 57 and in pretty good shape. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and sometimes I can’t do hard core exercises but want to keep my body going. These were nice and easy exercises that you can make harder by adding ankle or arm weights if you want. Easy to follow and understand.

I bought this for my grandmother so she can limber up a bit.I found this book to be very informative. There are plenty of illustrations to show each motion and exercise.
