Yes I am over 50 and need to work on fitness

This book was just what I needed. Easy to read and understand. It has given me the motivation go and get busy. Getting more fitness into my daily routine was deemed necessary as I am seeing too many folks who are overweight and getting diabetes and losing their ability to stay independent. Strength is failing. Balance is failing. Endurance is weakening. I do not want to do down that road myself and this book has show me that those negatives can be avoided by working on my personal fitness. I really liked the book.

Senior Fitness

For someone that has never exercised this book is a must have. I was looking for different exercises other than what I have already been doing and was disappointed that I spent the money on something that I already knew.

Any over-50 person should have this basic guide.

No prior level of fitness is presumed in order to use FITNESS AFTER FIFTY: ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE AND LIFE TO YOUR YEARS. And it's not even necessary to follow a single program of exercise to use this, either: it's a self-paced workbook manual which imparts the basics of after-50 fitness, from asking questions of a doctor and exercising safely to adapt an activity regimen to a medical limitation. From aerobic benefits and how to explore them to enlisting friends in a program to add support, any over-50 person should have this basic guide. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
