Synopsis

Do you feel like your age is catching up with you? Maybe you are not as flexible and limber as you used to be? While you may just blame it on old age, there is a much deeper reason - inactivity. You are not moving your joints through their full range of motion anymore and the muscle and tendons are shortening, thus tightening up on you thus causing your inflexibility and joint stiffness. The answer? Incorporating a stretching routine into your daily life. Specifically, a stretching routine for seniors, as we have different needs at this stage of our life than do younger folks. In my new book "Simple Stretching for Seniors", I start out in Chapter 1 by covering the the basic anatomy and the aging body. From there we move into why stretching is beneficial for senior in Chapter 2 and some things to consider before starting a stretching program in Chapter 3.

There are also some common stumbling blocks to stretch program in Chapter 6 that you should be aware of before starting a stretching program; we cover these in detail, so you have all the information you need before starting a program. Next comes an overview of how to actually do a stretching program in Chapter 7, if you have never done one before or if it has been a long time since you last stretching session. In Chapter 8, we present some sample stretch programs. Most of the stretching moves also have a YouTube video link where you can watch the move actually being done if you are not familiar with how to do it. After that are two more chapters. Chapter 9 covers the different tools, resources and apps that you may be interested in using to help you stay limber as you enter into your Golden Years, along with some tips in the Conclusion on how to add more stretching into your daily life. We finish out the book with a Bonus Chapter that includes some advanced stretching workouts once you feel you are ready to advance to the next level. Your Golden Years don't have to be filled with joint pain and stiffness. Get your copy today of "Simple Stretching for Seniors" and begin to limber up, strengthen and stabilize your joints. Doing so can prevent the number 1 injury among seniors - falling. Many break their hip and never fully recover. As a result, they lose their Independence and are relegated to an assisted-living facility, or worse yet, nursing home. And that fatal fall might have been prevented if they would have simple added an easy stretching program to their daily routine.
