About this listen
Would you like to stay strong, fit, and flexible well into your golden years?
Are you worried about falls or hurting yourself as your body gets increasingly wobbly and weak?
Are you frustrated that you increasingly need to rely on others to do things for you?
According to the National Library of Medicine, muscle mass and strength start to decline sharply after 60.
You may think you are too old to start any exercise program now. Many people write themselves off and think exercising later in life doesn’t matter anymore.
But they couldn’t be more wrong.
In this insightful and easy-to-follow book, you will discover:
- Top myths and lies we believe about getting older that hold us back from living our best lives for longer
- The powerful threat bucket concept – discover how to revolutionize your pain levels and muscle strength
- The many hidden and not-so-hidden benefits of strength training for seniors
- How to train safely, reducing chances of injury
- How to build strong core muscles to support your entire musculoskeletal system
- What to do about degenerative pelvic floor problems
- A wide range of strength exercises targeting all major muscle groups,
- How to reduce your chances of falls as you become more fragile with increasing years
And much more.
Strength training does not mean you need to spend hours in a gym. You can literally use your own body weight in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.
The exercises start at a beginner level and can be customized to your fitness level.
As you progress, a series of carefully crafted routines helps take you through a series of workouts suited to your needs, complete with warm-ups and cool-downs too.
The movements are easy once you know what they are, and every bit you do will add to a healthier, happier, and stronger you.

Great resource for strength and muscle building
I recommend this book not only to seniors but to anyone over 30 looking to maintain and build muscle. It begins with the "building strength mindset," emphasizing the importance of setting a goal and using the "5-why method" to delve deeper into the reasons behind it, thus building strong, clear motivation.
Once a proper mindset is established, the book introduces practical tips and guides to create effective exercise patterns, focusing on movement form and motor skills. It also explains the use of various strength training tools, detailing which tools are best for different body parts. This book is an excellent resource for building strength and leading a healthy, strong life.
