Age-Defying Fitness
Making the Most of Your Body for
the Rest of Your Life
Book
By Marilyn Moffat and Carole B. Lewis
There is no doubt that our bodies
change with age, as the baby boomer generation is now learning firsthand. But
many of the problems attributed to inevitable age-related changes are in fact
not inevitable and are often lifestyle induced and reversible.
In this new book, Marilyn Moffat
and Carole B. Lewis show how to overcome the aches, stiffness, and unsteadiness
in your muscles and joints. Using their simple, self-administered tests, you
will assess your level of physical performance in these five critical domains:
posture, balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance. The authors help you
develop a personal profile, according to the results of these tests.
Easy-to-follow strengthening and stretching exercises, based on the latest
clinical research, are included along with a Thera-Band ® resistive exercise
band for use in some exercises.
More than a simple how-to book, Age-Defying
Fitness encourages you to take responsibility for your physical
well-being, and offers an easy everyday approach to achieving better health.
