Just Move!: How Functional Fitness Can Turn Back the Clock for 60+

Description

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. Exercise is the one antiaging treatment entirely in your own power. Take charge of your fitness with Just Move! Written specifically for people north of sixty by James P. Owen, a former couch potato who's decidedly within that demographic, it aims to be inspiring, even empowering, while giving you just enough knowledge to create your own exercise program-fitness basics you need to know with no confusing buzzwords or information overload. James found that investing just one hour a day in functional fitness-a pursuit very different from the old bodybuilding culture-can make you feel and look younger. It can also help you reduce many common aches and pains, stay mobile and independent for years to come, avoid debilitating falls, and lower risks of serious disease. Just Move! encourages you to tune into your body, get into a fitness habit, begin to build strength, and finally advance to a sustainable full-body workout. Just Move! is one-part essential information, one-part inspiration, and one-part step-by-step program, all geared to those at midlife or beyond. Jim's approach is flexible, with insights, advice, and basic movements you can tailor to your own goals and favorite activities.
