Download or read book Navigating Fitness After 50 written by Debra Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baby boomers are creating a stir in the fitness industry as they seek to change the way we age. Looking around senior fitness classes they don't see themselves. Attending bootcamps they leave with their aching knees crying out for help. Author Debra Atkinson sorts through the maze of options available for physical activity and defines how to reach optimal results while preparing vulnerable exercisers to assess professionals.Debra Atkinson, the author, is a 30-year fitness professional (www.voiceforfitness.com) formerly a Senior Lecturer in Kinesiology at Iowa State University and an international fitness industry presenter and author whose experience - teaching, hiring and supervising fitness professionals - enabled her to identify the questions boomers should ask instead of those they do. For example:* Not, are you certified? But are you certified by one of these four top tier agencies?* Not, have you worked with any one my age, but have you worked with anyone with my ability level before?* Not, do you have a plan for me, but what is the plan and why will that work?Most over 50 exercisers fall into one of two categories. They have exercised their entire lives, possibly stopping and starting and now what used to work doesn't anymore. The rules have changed. On the other hand, there are those who never have exercised and they can't ignore the fact any more their health depends on it. But they are intimidated, uncomfortable and don't know where to begin.As Atkinson describes each phase of an optimal exercise program and the mass of recent research for successful aging in the "second half" readers will:* Develop a needs list tied to their status, wants and goals* Create a set of questions to find the right gym, group, or trainer* Turn skepticism into confidence when they know what to ask* Minimize risk of injury and frustration due to lack of results* Get the most out of the investment of exercise time and moneyReaders will have access to links providing examples of exercises for an interactive experience. While there are many books on the market that are focused on fitness for older adults, and many more will follow, this book is unique in it's focus on how to use the resources available and to know that the program or professional selected will be in alignment with safe and effective means to a goal.

Download or read book Mini Habits written by Stephen Guise and published by Selective Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2013-12-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Life-Changing Strategy of This Worldwide Bestseller in 17 Languages! Lasting Change For Early Quitters, Burnouts, The Unmotivated, And Everyone Else Too When I decided to start exercising consistently 10 years ago, this is what actually happened: I tried "getting motivated." It worked sometimes.I tried setting audacious big goals. I almost always failed them.I tried to make changes last. They didn't. Like most people who try to change and fail, I assumed that I was the problem. Then one afternoon--after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise--I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs. My suspicions were correct. Is There A Scientific Explanation For This? As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science--which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits--we've been doing it all wrong. You can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. Most popular strategies don't work well because they require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do--that you can achieve lasting change. What's A Mini Habit? A mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day; its "too small to fail" nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. You will have no choice but to believe in yourself when you're always moving forward. The barrier to the first step is so low that even depressed or "stuck" people can find early success and begin to reverse their lives right away. And if you think one push-up a day is too small to matter, I've got one heck of a story for you! Aim For The First Step They say when you aim for the moon, you'll land among the stars. Well, that doesn't make sense, as the moon is closer than the stars. I digress. The message is that you should aim very high and even if you fall short, you'll still get somewhere. I've found the opposite to be true in regards to productivity and healthy behaviors. When you aim for the moon, you won't do anything because it's too far away. But when you aim for the step in front of you, you might keep going and reach the moon. I've used the Mini Habits strategy to get into the best shape of my life, read 10x more books, and write 4x as many words. It started from requiring one push-up from myself every day. How ridiculous is that? Not so ridiculous when you consider the science of the brain, habits, and willpower. The Mini Habits system works because it's how our brains are designed to change. Note: This book isn't for eliminating bad habits (some principles could be useful for breaking habits). Mini Habits is a strategy to create permanent healthy habits in: exercise, writing, reading, thinking positively, meditating, drinking water, eating healthy foods, etc. Lasting change won't happen until you take that first step into a strategy that works. Give Mini Habits a try. You won't look back.

Download or read book Just Move written by James Owen and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This step-by-step guide, written by a best-selling author and former Wall Street titan, provides all the information--and inspiration--you need to feel better, reduce aches and pains, and push back against aging with a personalized fitness program that's right for you. Whatever your fitness goals or preferences, this book is designed to help you pursue the health program that works for you. An inspirational speaker, author, and former Wall Street rainmaker, Jim Owen was 70 when he decided he had to get fit. Years of a chair-bound lifestyle were taking their toll. Realizing that the old bodybuilding approach was no way to tackle the stiffness, weakness, and aches and pains that come with age, he set off on a journey of discovery and transformation. With help from the experts, he developed a common-sense, step-by-step program that can be tailored to any level of physical ability. Along the way he learned why cardio machines aren't enough, what it takes to be "functionally fit" for daily life, and how to stay motivated. Today, Owen is in better shape than he was at 25, and he is a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. He has proved that you don't have to be powerless in the face of advancing years: if you make a commitment to "just move," you can take charge of the aging process and make your coming years the best they can be. The book is divided into two sections, with the first providing fascinating information and the second showing step-by-step details of how to put the best fitness principles into practice.
