About the Author
Bonnie Prudden was instrumental in the formation of the President's Council on Youth Fitness during the Eisenhower adminsitration. By the time she decided to apply her considerable energy toward improving fitness training for her own and the rest of the nation's children, she had already proven herself as a Broadway dancer, first woman to receive the National Ski Patrol badge and a world-class rock climber. Later, she opened the Institute for Physical Fitness, the first of its kind in the United States and began a lifetime of work and research on fitness for Americans of all ages. Her many accomplishments include writing the first fitness column for SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and hosting network television's first exerc ise spots, originally on Arlene Francis' "The Home Show" and later on Dave Garroway's Today" show. She is the author of over 15 books, including the New York Times best seller, PAIN ERASURE THE BONNIE PRUDDEN WAY, Bonnie Prudden lives in Tucson, Arizona
From Library Journal
These books take a similar stance: Exercise is for all ages and the older person is capable of living a vigorous, healthy life. Another similarity is the autobiographical information. Prudden, well known for her fitness activities (writing, demonstrating, lecturing, developing programs for all ages) and her pioneering work with myotherapy, weaves her life story into her book. The three authors of Exercise as You Grow Older intersperse pictures of themselves and describe events from their lives. This unique exercise book is written by three generationsgrandmother, daughter, and granddaughter. It contains a limited number of exercises but establishes an excellent, workable exercise program and philosophy for an older adult. Prudden's text encompasses exercise myths, common illnesses, occupational hazards, and a liberal dose of homespun philosophy. She devotes significant space to the treatment of injuries and pain with myotherapy and the use of exercises to overcome and prevent physical problems. She uses an in-depth approach, whereas Exercise as You Grow Older is ideal for the older person looking for a useful and easily attainable exercise program.
