Effective Exercises for Seniors (60+): Simple At-Home Workouts To Improve Stability, Flexibility, Muscle Strength, Prevent Falls and Have More Confidence is a comprehensive guide that underscores the benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle.
Sharing examples and scientific evidence, author Anna J. Williams—an athlete with a master’s degree in public health—demonstrates how regular physical activity/exercise can not only prolong independent living but also significantly reduce healthcare visits.
The book explores the health impact of regular exercise, from prevention of heart disease, improved blood circulation and reduced risk of osteoporosis to stress management, improved sleep quality and mood regulation. It also explains how exercise can counteract the natural decline in muscle strength and bone density that comes with aging.
Most importantly, this book provides practical, easy-to-follow exercises that can be performed at home without the need for expensive exercise equipment or a gym membership. It emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, incorporating nutrition and a positive mindset alongside physical activity. Find it on amazon.com.
