How to Strengthen Your Aging Body and Live the Life You Want Without Any Barriers in 30 Minutes Being a senior is great as you are free from the obligations of your younger years, like being committed to a full time job, taking care of your children and stressing in general. However, although this may be great for your soul, there is a question that arises as you get older, which is... Do You Need to Beg Someone Else for Help All the Time? In my experience, seniors often have difficulty motivating themselves to work on their strength because they can't see why they should start doing something now that they haven't done their whole life. They also believe that as they get older, it's natural that they are not able to perform the same daily activities, such as: walking at a fast pace, taking the stairs or carrying their own groceries. Well, I'm here to tell you that this is just a myth, because you can do all these things even if you are in your late 80's. The solution is simple- doing strength training for 30 minutes, three times per week. You Don't Need a Gym, Expensive Equipment or Trainers One of the great things with the strength training exercises outlined in this book is that you can do them by yourself no matter where in the world you are. For example, you could be visiting your grandchildren, camping or enjoying the sun at a beach. None of this will stop you from working out, because these exercises can be done anywhere, anytime with just a little modification. The only thing you will need to do is to devote three specific days in a week where you will work out for at least 30 minutes. This is a pretty low price considering what you will get in return, don't you agree? Do You Want To Get a Stronger Body Today and Live the Life You Deserve Without Limitations?

Baby boomers are creating a stir in the fitness industry as they seek to change the way we age. Looking around senior fitness classes they don't see themselves. Attending bootcamps they leave with their aching knees crying out for help. Author Debra Atkinson sorts through the maze of options available for physical activity and defines how to reach optimal results while preparing vulnerable exercisers to assess professionals. Debra Atkinson, the author, is a 28-year fitness professional (www.voiceforfitness.com) formerly a Senior Lecturer in Kinesiology at Iowa State University and an international fitness industry presenter and author whose experience - teaching, hiring and supervising fitness professionals - enabled her to identify the questions boomers should ask instead of those they do. For example: Not, are you certified? But are you certified by one of these four top tier agencies? Not, have you worked with any one my age, but have you worked with anyone with my ability level before? Not, do you have a plan for me, but what is the plan and why will that work? Most over 50 exercisers fall into one of two categories. They have exercised their entire lives, possibly stopping and starting and now what used to work doesn't anymore. The rules have changed. On the other hand, there are those who never have exercised and they can't ignore the fact any more their health depends on it. But they are intimidated, uncomfortable and don't know where to begin. As Atkinson describes each phase of an optimal exercise program and the mass of recent research for successful aging in the "second half" readers will: Develop a needs list tied to their status, wants and goals Create a set of questions to find the right gym, group, or trainer Turn skepticism into confidence when they know what to ask Minimize risk of injury and frustration due to lack of results Get the most out of the investment of exercise time and money Readers will have access to links providing examples of exercises for an interactive experience. While there are many books on the market that are focused on fitness for older adults, and many more will follow, this book is unique in it's focus on how to use the resources available and to know that the program or professional selected will be in alignment with safe and effective means to a goal.

Since Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) was started in 2003, the number of people utilizing this open source system of full-scope yoga practices has grown steadily around the world. It has evolved from being primarily an internet resource to a shelf-full of books, and now to increasing "real-world" activities including meditation groups, hands-on training, and retreats organized and run by those who choose to share the knowledge and experiences that come with the effective application of the practices. This small volume called "Retreats" has been written to provide guidelines for assisting those who wish to organize and implement AYP retreats. It is also for those interested in attending retreats for personal benefit and for benefiting the world through the systematic cultivation of Abiding Inner Silence, and its practical applications in daily living. The experience with AYP retreats has been very good, and this book is offered in the hope that many more retreats will be conducted around the world. "Retreats" is the tenth book in the AYP Enlightenment Series by Yogani, preceded by "Eight Limbs of Yoga," "Bhakti and Karma Yoga," "Self-Inquiry," "Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli," "Samyama," "Asanas, Mudras and Bandhas," "Tantra," "Spinal Breathing Pranayama," and "Deep Meditation." Yogani is also the author of two highly-regarded user-friendly textbooks providing detailed instructions on full-scope yoga practices, "Advanced Yoga Practice - Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living, Volumes 1 & 2," and a spiritual adventure novel, "The Secrets of Wilder - A Story of Inner Silence, Ecstasy and Enlightenment."

A lively, deeply reported tour of the science and strategies helping athletes like Tom Brady, Serena Williams, Carli Lloyd, and LeBron James redefine the notion of "peak age." Season after season, today's sports superstars seem to defy the limits of physical aging that inevitably sideline their competitors. How much of the difference is genetic destiny and how much can be attributed to better training, medicine, and technology? Is athletic longevity a skill that can be taught or a mental discipline that can be mastered? Can career-ending injuries be predicted and avoided? Journalist Jeff Bercovici spent extensive time with professional and Olympic athletes, coaches, and doctors to find the answers to these questions. His quest led him to training camps, tournaments, hospitals, antiaging clinics, and Silicon Valley startups, where he tried cutting-edge treatments and technologies firsthand and investigated the realities behind health fads like alkaline diets, high-intensity interval training, and cryotherapy. Through fascinating profiles and first-person anecdotes, Bercovici illuminates the science and strategies extending the careers of elite older athletes, uncovers the latest advances in fields from nutrition to brain science to virtual reality, and offers empowering insights about how the rest of us can find peak performance at any age.
