About this listen

Discover how a gentle and easy exercise routine will ease those niggly aches and pains and improve your strength and mobility well into your 60s and beyond.

Let’s face it, your body isn’t what it once was–your joints are stiffer, you’re not as flexible, and you’ve lost muscle tone.

Simple activities, like tying your shoelaces or getting up from the couch, are more of a challenge than they used to be.

Sometimes it’s just easier to stay at home, letting life pass you by, rather than go on an outing, risk a fall, and land in the emergency room.

And as your body undergoes these depressing changes, you’re at risk of losing your zest for life and getting frustrated because you can’t do what you once could.

The question is, do you have to spend your golden years this way, or can you do something to turn things around?

The answer is a big yes!

And it’s essential that you do turn things around because you’re likely to live longer thanks to modern medicine and you’ll want to ensure that you stay happier and healthier as you age.

The good news is that you don’t need fancy equipment or enroll in an expensive gym to do this.

All you need are these simple exercises, which can be adapted to your particular needs and circumstances.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Why walking is the least expensive exercise and reaps the most rewards for optimum mental and physical health.
  • How you can achieve the big four with chair aerobics: strength, flexibility, balance, and a healthy heart.
  • The seven types of resistance bands, and which ones to use after injury or surgery to get up and about sooner than anyone thought you would.
  • Why bed exercises are essential whether you’re temporarily or permanently bed-bound.
  • How you can be smart with dumbbells to regain muscle mass and body tone.
  • The best exercises to do to relieve arthritis pain and loosen up your joints, and which exercises to avoid.
  • How a short 15 minute walk metabolizes glucose, improves your blood sugar levels, and gets your muscles working efficiently.
  • The backup plan you need when the weather prevents you from exercising outdoors.
  • How to trick your brain into enjoying exercise and recognizing it as a fun thing to do.

And much more.

Aging is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to be depressing and isolating just because you’re not as strong and mobile as you once were. It can be a time of great happiness if you use this guide to get moving and exercise.

Don’t let your fear of hurting yourself hold you back. Even if you have arthritis or a hip or knee replacement, this guide will help you know which exercises are best for your specific needs and ailments.

And best of all, the longer you do these simple exercises, the longer you’ll be independent and living life to the fullest.

Very useful and easy exercises

Thanks, Michelle. I am in my late 50s, and your book fits me perfectly. This book will be a big help for seniors who are bedridden and those who have physical challenges exercising. If you have parents who need movement but are difficult to move around, give it to them. They will love it.
The exercises are not just helpful. They are great, just what I need. I don't care that I have a few pounds on top, but I don't want to lose my mobility under any circumstances. Your exercises will help me live my life to the fullest. As you said - my mind is sharp, but my flexibility needs to improve.

Very Instructive and Practical.

This book could not have come at a better time than this when all that is most needed at this stage of life is to know that it is still possible to remain energetic, sharp-minded, functional, healthy, and happy. This book has shown that this is possible through the systematic presentation of the essential exercises for energy, improved brain function, self-esteem, social confidence, and longevity. The physical, social, psychological, and mental health benefits of each of the different essential exercises are also discussed. The equipment required, and the routines according to the specific body type are not left out but extensively shared. The book is a must-read for every senior who fancies being kind to himself as well as remaining active and relevant.

Fit at any age is possible

This is a great read to get you or your loved one moving. This book has everything! It outlines practical tactics and key takeaways for maximizing the benefits of training and is short and simple to read. Anyone under 60 would benefit just as much from this, but it is a MUST for those over 60. I recommend this for a nice read to learn what exercises there are for people who want gentle exercises of any age. An excellent resource to have on hand for anyone wanting to start exercising. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on water aerobics. The author provides a detailed explanation of the benefits of water aerobics for seniors and includes a variety of exercises that can be done in a pool. Recommend purchasing, reading, and following these safe exercises for a healthier you.
I enjoyed this book and hope you do as well.

Fitness guide for elders!

It is a golden time of life when a person started getting older. But it is important to take care of diet, and activities to stay active at that age as well. This book is guiding the great exercises for aged people to prevent themselves back pain and other issues.

I loved the theme and the author explained easy and best exercises. I am sure this is a great gift for our grandparents as it is a helpful guide for them.

The narrator has spoken very well and I love the tone in which each and every word was explained. The best recommendation.

Seniors Exercises!

This audiobook was well-researched and provided the essential exercises for seniors to keep fit, stay healthy and gain muscles safely and practically. Training can be intense and sometimes harmful if not done correctly; however, this audiobook offered simple and convenient exercises that can be done during your regular activity and that you'll want to complete daily to stimulate your brain and restore your energy.

Helpful, Great Listen!

I believe that people with disabilities can also benefit from this wonderful book for seniors. This book guides great exercises for elderly people to prevent back pain and other problems. I bought this book for my elderly parents. My mother enjoyed listening and was motivated to try some simple exercises. Given that it is a useful guide for them, I am certain that this will make a wonderful present for our elders.

Excellent

I think this well-produced audiobook highlights the importance of exercise when you get over 60. I often hear people talk about "taking it easy and doing very little in retirement but whatever you do, a daily exercise program is essential. The book makes a lot of sense and you can exercise daily on a budget and you can also do it even if you have limb problems such as a replacement knee or hip. The narration is good and it's very informative and useful. Great book, well done

We got your back seniors

This is and amazing book for seniors and to me people with disabilities can benefit as well . Each age is a celebration and it is imperative for the seniors to be active and and move accordingly to their age. It is not easy but baby steps are necessary. Keeping fits keeps you younger and stronger.

A great book

This book came to me on time.. I stated to feel pain on my knees while doing simple exercises and I was thinking of chair yoga etc, This book gives you tips not only to listen to and say "okay, I will do this later..no in fact you can do it while listening to the book and feel good". The Author discuss also other possibilities when something happened and you ca't follow you routine ( Backup plan) which is very useful. Highly recomended.
