Download or read book Senior Fitness for Men Over 60 Exercises and Workout Routines for Looking 10 Years Younger and Feeling Stronger Than Ever written by Jacob Maxwell and published by Illustrated & Large Print. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop Playing It by Ear As I type this, we're on the first week of 2019 and I imagine that all gyms around the world are probably as packed as they will be for the year. Unfortunately, many of us won't last more than a few weeks and these gyms will empty out as quickly as they filled up. You see, most fitness information available either online or on print is catered towards a younger population that doesn't know what chronic back pain feels like. Therefore, most senior citizens have to "play it by ear" when it comes to exercise routines and, consequently, end up with unreasonable expectations and improper planning. This leads to loss of motivation and certain desertion. This is why I brought it upon myself to write Senior Fitness. With this book, I hope to provide to you with workouts for any level of physical fitness. You will be able to gauge your physical ability with a physical test, follow tailored workout routines, and customize these workouts to your needs. So, it doesn't matter if you haven't held a dumbbell in decades or if you're eating a Big Mac as you read this, you will find value in this book. If you're ready to get back into shape, then click the 'add to cart' button and get your copy of this book today.

Download or read book Middlesex written by Jeffrey Eugenides and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning eight decades and chronicling the wild ride of a Greek-American family through the vicissitudes of the twentieth century, Jeffrey Eugenides’ witty, exuberant novel on one level tells a traditional story about three generations of a fantastic, absurd, lovable immigrant family -- blessed and cursed with generous doses of tragedy and high comedy. But there’s a provocative twist. Cal, the narrator -- also Callie -- is a hermaphrodite. And the explanation for this takes us spooling back in time, through a breathtaking review of the twentieth century, to 1922, when the Turks sacked Smyrna and Callie’s grandparents fled for their lives. Back to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic mutation, set our narrator’s life in motion. Middlesex is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire. It’s a brilliant exploration of divided people, divided families, divided cities and nations -- the connected halves that make up ourselves and our world.
