Growing older does not mean accepting diminished fitness. There is no doubt that our bodies change with age. But many of the problems attributed to inevitable age-related changes are, in fact, not inevitable and are often lifestyle-induced and reversible. Two of the nation's top physical therapists show how to assess fitness levels and create a specific profile to achieve optimum physical health. Marilyn Moffat and Carole B. Lewis explain how to overcome the aches, stiffness, and unsteadiness in muscles and joints. Using their simple, self-administered tests, you can assess your level of physical performance in five critical domains: posture, balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance. You can also develop a personal profile according to the results of these tests. Easy-to-follow strengthening and stretching exercises accompany a Thera-Band ® resistive exercise band. More than a simple how-to book, Age-Defying Fitness encourages you to take responsibility for your physical well-being, and offers an easy everyday approach to achieving better health. To purchase a Thera-Band ® individually, please contact The Hygenic Corporation at their toll-free number: 1 (800) 321-2135.

Do you think you are too old to be working out? Today, people are living longer and pursuing healthier lifestyles, but most 50 years old, and older, individuals are no longer interested in the long, physically demanding workout routines that they enjoyed over 25 years ago. “BE Age Defying” is about maintaining a sustainable, active lifestyle and using strength training as a tool to combat the loss of muscle mass and daily functioning due to aging. This book advocates for health maintenance through strength training for men (and women) after 50 with decreased physical capability due to aging. It is composed of alternative strength training exercises that are suggested based on their rationale for addressing functionality concerns. Personal trainers are encouraged to integrate these exercises into modified workout routines for their older clients if they consider them more effective in improving their clients’ physical capabilities. This book provides guidance that will remove the physical demands of complex training routines and create routines that will target the health concerns of 50+ individuals by providing solutions to diminishing physical capabilities that interfere with their ability to conduct essential functions from grocery shopping to rising out of their bed every morning.
