It is now universally accepted that exercise can benefit people of all ages and health conditions and that even quite elderly people who have never exercised before can increase energy, strength, and flexibility through exercise, thereby improving their quality of life. Edwards, who heads the Lifefitness Center in Laguna Hills, California, one of the largest exercise centers for mature adults, presents a comprehensive selection of exercises, from finger stretches to push-ups, including moves that can be done from both sitting and standing positions. Recommended combinations will improve joint flexibility and breathing capacity. Edwards proposes a gradual plan that moves from initial start-up to maintenance level. She also includes a chapter on aerobics. Her book is perfect for older readers who wish to make a safe, sure start on exercise. Recommended for public libraries.
