Are you questioning why did your muscles start to feel weak? Are you constantly wondering if you can ever regain the strength you had when you were younger?
My name is Jade and throughout my career, I have witnessed first-hand the barriers that prevent people from living a healthy lifestyle. The main thing I've noticed is people start to become more sedentary with age.
I want to motivate and educate seniors about the benefits of exercise and a healthy lifestyle. I aim to persuade people that retiring to the couch is no longer a viable option if they want to live the best life they can.
Throughout this book, you will learn how to improve your strength, stability, and flexibility in older age.
I'll start by covering what strength training is and why it's so important for seniors. You'll learn how strength training benefits us physically and mentally in the short and long term.Next, you'll learn about motivation and discipline. I'll cover what to do to get physically and mentally prepared for the journey ahead.I'll cover how different lifestyle practices can aid your journey to a healthy lifestyle. In this section, I will go over nutrition, sleep, and mindset.Once we're done with the basics, I'll move onto the exercises. I've listed a range of exercises that target multiple joints, upper body, lower body, core, and mobility. Each exercise has a detailed description, training tip, modifications, and advancements.After covering the exercises, you'll see a 12-week progressive strength training plan. The 12-week plan can be broken into three phases and each phase will have a different focus so we can progress with intention.Finally, I'll end with a section on sustainability and progression of your training beyond the 12 weeks.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg...
