Book Description
This step-by-step guide, written by a best-selling author and former Wall Street titan, provides all the information--and inspiration--you need to feel better, reduce aches and pains, and push back against aging with a personalized fitness program that's right for you. Whatever your fitness goals or preferences, this book is designed to help you pursue the health program that works for you. An inspirational speaker, author, and former Wall Street rainmaker, Jim Owen was 70 when he decided he had to get fit. Years of a chair-bound lifestyle were taking their toll. Realizing that the old bodybuilding approach was no way to tackle the stiffness, weakness, and aches and pains that come with age, he set off on a journey of discovery and transformation. With help from the experts, he developed a common-sense, step-by-step program that can be tailored to any level of physical ability. Along the way he learned why cardio machines aren't enough, what it takes to be "functionally fit" for daily life, and how to stay motivated. Today, Owen is in better shape than he was at 25, and he is a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. He has proved that you don't have to be powerless in the face of advancing years: if you make a commitment to "just move," you can take charge of the aging process and make your coming years the best they can be. The book is divided into two sections, with the first providing fascinating information and the second showing step-by-step details of how to put the best fitness principles into practice.

Book Description
Forget settling for the so-called "golden" years. Instead, join the platinum club! Membership is open to anyone, as long as you're willing to take care of your body and your health as you age and as you experience some of the best years of your life. Physique After 50 argues that physique training doesn’t have to end the moment you turn fifty. Aging is an important part of life, and this is the prime of your life. At the same time, as you age there are real physical and hormonal changes going on in your body. Being fifty is not the same as forty, so of course your exercise needs to account for this. Most younger fitness trainers out there just can’t appreciate what these aging-related changes mean for you and your training. Physique After 50 offers real-world, practical training advice from Coach Scott Abel. Scott himself is in his mid-fifties, and has experienced these aging-related changes firsthand, both with himself and with his one-on-one coaching clients. By using smart training strategies (and by leaving your ego at the door) you can look and feel great during what can be some of the most fulfilling decades of your life. You can feel physically younger even as you embrace the wisdom that comes with age. Physique After 50 book tells you how to do exactly that. Physique After 50 includes: ● How aging affects your fitness and training, and what to do about it. ● Three different workout programs geared specifically for the "Physique After 50" demographic. ● You can choose which of the three programs is right for you depending on whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced trainee. (There is also advice on progressing from one program to the next.) ● Bodypart-specific training “tweaks” to avoid injuries (especially those "overuse" injuries that are often related to age). ● How to balance rest and recovery with training. ● “Forget About It” — what forms of training to ignore or simply stop using entirely as you age. ● What elements of the warmup are more important (and how most people do these things wrong). ● The hormonal realities of aging (for both men and women), and what that means for you and your training.

Book Description
The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems - the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence. The worst advice an older person ever gets is, Take it easy. Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health - and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.

She shows you, step-by-step how to maintain, repair, tune up, and take charge of your body, your mind, and your spirit.

In AFTER FIFTY FITNESS GUIDE, Bonnie specifically tailors her proven trigger point Myotherapy pain relief and corrective exercise techniques to the needs of senior Americans. Prudden sees the over-50 crowd as "the last fit Americans. This group is comprised of the naturally fit generations whose childhoods were spent in body-building chores and creative, active play out of doors. They are the last to walk to school no matter what the weather," Prudden explains. Their bodies can be reclaimed and with the help of trigger point Myotherapy made more comfortable and efficient. Bonnie Pruden's After Fifty Fitness Guide, filled with photographs, charts, and drawing, will help you discover ways to keep fit, supple, and strong with over 100 completely illustrated exercises, from warm-ups, stretches, and strenuous exercises for the already fit, to "Bed Ballet" for the convalescent and stretches and bends that can be done in a chair or with a walker. "Most people think of a walker as a bridge from bed to crutches. I think of it as an inexpensive piece of exercise equipment." You'll also learn how to get rid of muscle-related pain using Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy pain erasure techniques. Improve the quality of your life through work, play and good relationships, boundless joy and...above all...exercise every day.
