Importance of Exercise

Everyone knows that exercise is important at any age but it's critical when advanced aging sets in. Moving, stretching, and building muscle with the exercises in this book helped me feel better, be more confident, and stay safe. I liked the suggested warm-ups, stretches, and exercises with pictures that I can do at home for various body parts.

So much helpful information

I've just finished reading the first section, and am looking forward to starting the exercises. There is so much information clearly explained. I recommend this book to anyone recovering from an accident, fall, or medical condition that weakened them. It's easy and enjoyable to read.

I appreciated the call-outs with the arrows on the photos, which called special attention to posture/ things to do with the exercises.

The book features easy-to-follow exercises specifically designed for seniors, focusing on strength and balance. The author is a physical therapist with many years of working with seniors. She points out that aging shouldn’t be filled with worries about physical frailty. It is a time to discover what our bodies can do with the right care and attention.
