In AFTER FIFTY FITNESS GUIDE, Bonnie specifically tailors her proven trigger point Myotherapy pain relief and corrective exercise techniques to the needs of senior Americans. Prudden sees the over-50 crowd as "the last fit Americans.

They are the last to walk to school no matter what the weather," Prudden explains. Their bodies can be reclaimed and with the help of trigger point Myotherapy made more comfortable and efficient. Bonnie Pruden's After Fifty Fitness Guide, filled with photographs, charts, and drawing, will help you discover ways to keep fit, supple, and strong with over 100 completely illustrated exercises, from warm-ups, stretches, and strenuous exercises for the already fit, to "Bed Ballet" for the convalescent and stretches and bends that can be done in a chair or with a walker. "Most people think of a walker as a bridge from bed to crutches. I think of it as an inexpensive piece of exercise equipment." You'll also learn how to get rid of muscle-related pain using Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy pain erasure techniques. Improve the quality of your life through work, play and good relationships, boundless joy and...above all...exercise every day.

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 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.

The worst advice an older person ever gets is, Take it easy. Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health - and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.
