Anatomy of Exercise for 50+
by
I give this book 4 stars. This book is very clearly written with exercises for this age level. It is my #1 go-to book for keeping fit. Because things are explained so well and varying intensity levels are given for each exercise I never sustained workout injuries. When looking at the pictures I am able to discern if I did something wrong and make the necessary adjustments. I am able to feel my muscles being stretched and align with the pictures. I highly recommend this book. It will stay on my bookshelf as reference material. Excellent!!
Here is what the publisher has to say about this book:
The exercises in Anatomy of Exercise for 50+ will support good health at any age, but for those over fifty they can help in the prevention of specific age-related problems like joint mobility, balance and fatigue, as well as medical conditions like heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.
This book follows the successful format of the "Anatomy of" books, which have sold more than 500,000 copies. The series' revolutionary approach is the combination of photographs and lifelike anatomical drawings that reveal in colorful detail exactly which muscles are engaged and how, and which muscles benefit from each exercise.
For those who want to take control of their health, at whatever age, and for fitness trainers, physiotherapists, and activity managers in community care facilities, retirement homes and nursing homes Anatomy of Exercise for 50+ is an instructive and practical resource.
