It’s Never Too Late to Start Stretching Exercises for Health, Strength, and Mobility!
Do you find yourself getting stiffer and more tense with age? Do the active hobbies you used to love suddenly cause you pain or injury? Do you struggle with the range of motion for day-to-day activities like picking up your grandchildren?
Regular stretching keeps our limbs flexible, elongated, and healthy at any age. As we move from middle age into our senior years, it becomes even more important. In fact, a stretching routine will help build good posture, encourage muscle relaxation, and relieve many aches and pains. It can even improve your mental state through mindfulness and relaxation!
With Stretching Exercises for Seniors, author and fitness expert, Baz Thompson, has provided a thorough guide to stretching for people over 60. The multitude of stretches inside cover every part of your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Each exercise is presented in detail with a visual demonstration, and it’s explained specifically for older people. With tips, techniques, and practical advice, backed by the wisdom of doctors and physical therapists, the stretches in this book will make you feel as loose and limber as a teenager.
