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.

The PBS fitness personality on Classical Stretch and creator of the fitness phenomenon Essentrics offers an eye-opening guide to anti-aging. Miranda Esmonde-White trains everyone from prima ballerinas to professional hockey players to Cerebral palsy patients: what do they all have in common? All of these people are hoping to heal their bodies, prevent further injury, and move optimally and without pain. In fact, they have the same goals as any of us who are trying to stay young, fit, and reverse the hands of time. Because the aging of our bodies occurs in our cells, it must be repaired there too—that’s where Miranda’s highly effective and sought-after techniques come in. The body is programmed to self-destruct as we age, but the speed at which it self-destructs is up to us. Recent scientific studies have proven this fact! In Aging Backwards, Miranda offers a groundbreaking guide on how to maintain and repair our cells, through scientifically designed workouts. Healthy cells prevent joint pain, muscle loss and weak bones—helping to control weight, increase energy, and improve strength and mobility. Miranda offers readers of all ages the tools they need to look and feel young. Complete with tips, tools, and her Eight Basic Age-Reversing Workouts accompanied by instructional photos and web clips, Aging Backwards will help you grow younger, not older! “If you’ve been meaning to start a fitness program but are put off by vigorous gym or yoga sessions, or if you’re hindered by joint or muscle pain, pick up this book.” —Zoomer
