Publisher's Synopsis
Every year after the age of 50, our lean muscle mass begins to shrink by 1 to 2 percent. The muscle loss raises our risk of injury from falls and injuries over time, as well as limiting our freedom. What if you could regain your power, balance, and energy more quickly than you ever imagined? What if you had a tried-and-true workout routine that just took six minutes twice a day, and you might see dramatic results in just 15 days?
In this book, you will learn:
-A straightforward, science-based exercise plan that only takes six minutes, twice a day, and produces consistent strengthening and mobility improvements.
-Three simple bodyweight exercises that effectively target the muscle groups you need to stay active, prevent falls, and remain independent.
-How to design workouts at home that don't rely on complicated equipment.
-The seven most important strategies for benefiting from regular workouts.
-Practical advice and guidance for family members and caregivers helping aging adults with exercise.
