Written by physical therapists, Age Defying Fitness explains how to maintain your health, strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. Stop using your age as an excuse to be overweight or refrain from activities.
As we age, our bodies don’t always cooperate the way we wished they would. We lose muscle, gain weight, reduce our flexibility and our posture suffers. All of this can lead to injuries and poor quality of life, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is good news for baby boomers and beyond, according to Marilyn Moffit and Carole Lewis, authors of Age defying Fitness: Making the Most of Your Body for the Rest of Your Life. Changing your quality of life and level of mobility is as simple as moving more.
Fitness Assessment
Age Defying Fitness includes an extensive list of questions and actions to follow to see exactly where your fitness level is. You will test yourself in the areas of posture, strength, flexibility, balance and endurance.
The Benefits of the Fitness Plan
The exercise plan is made to work with you at whatever level you are currently at. By following the exercises outlined in Age Defying Fitness you’ll be able to reduce pain and have better movement. You’ll be able to stand straight and find it easier to balance yourself. Additionally, strength training is critical to preventing osteoporosis. It is never too late to change your lifestyle for the better and improve your health.
Resistance training has many benefits at any age, including weight loss, changing the shape of your body, strengthening your bones, preventing injury, giving you better range of motion, and a positive self-image.
Age Appropriate Exercise
Age Defying Fitness is a health and fitness book for the aging. The moves shown in the book are simple to follow along with, the models performing the exercises are baby boomers themselves and the advice is given from the view of overall health and preventing future damage to your body.
Age Defying Fitness is filled with tips, advice and plenty of space to record your results from the fitness assessments, including space to record your improvements as your progress over time. The book also comes with a free Theraband, making it even easier to get started and perform the exercises.
You don’t need an expensive gym membership, previous knowledge about resistance training or any fad diets to lose weight and strengthen your body. Age Defying Fitness and a positive attitude is all you need to better your health at any age.
