New Release: The Aging Parents Book

In honour of the publication of my 12th book, 6th seniors’ exercise guide, this month’s blog post is an excerpt from The Aging Parents Book: Gentle Exercise for Seniors Over 80. You can order your copy here. A sample exercise is also included below the book excerpt. 
​

Introduction

Inactivity can be a vicious cycle, particularly for frail, older seniors. Fear of falling keeps some seniors from getting up and moving more. Unfortunately, lack of movement further weakens muscles, stiffens joints, and reduces the ability to balance. 

The Aging Parents Book is a movement and gentle exercise guide. The purpose of this book is to show you, or your older loved one, how to do gentle movement-based exercises that will both feel good AND improve mobility and strength, as you (they) go about daily life.

This is the sixth exercise book for seniors that I have published. It is different than my other Balance exercise guides, in that all of the exercises are completed either lying down or sitting in a chair. They still address the balance system, strength, posture, and joint mobility. These exercises will improve walking, reinforce good posture, and enhance ease of movement during day-to-day life. This book is all about gentle, low-key movement, so unlike my previous guides, there are no additional instructions on how to make the exercises harder.

The font size has been increased and the font style has been changed, to improve readability for those with eyesight challenges.
