Exercise & Physical Activity, Your Everyday Guide was recently
developed by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). This colorful 125-page guidebook includes chapters on types of exercises (ones that address
endurance, strength, balance and flexibility), sample exercise with numerous pictures demonstrating proper positioning, and methods for tracking progress with nifty forms. What's particularly appealing is that the guide covers very simple exercises with props like chairs and mats, as well as elastic bands, towels, and simple weights (can of soup).
You may order free copies of the guide from the NIA website -- click here to be taken directly to the order form. |
