Functional Fitness After 65: The Complete Program for Maintaining Independence, Preventing Falls, and Building the Strength That Keeps You Living on Your Own Terms - Softcover
Synopsis
One in four adults over 65 falls each year.
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death
in this age group. And the physical decline that most
people accept as inevitable aging is substantially
preventable through the right kind of training.
Functional Fitness After 65 is the complete 12-week
program for maintaining independence, preventing falls,
and building the strength and balance that keep you
living on your own terms -- designed by a Doctor of
Physical Therapy specifically for the body after 65.
This is not generic senior fitness. It is targeted,
evidence-based functional training that addresses
the exact physical capacities most critical for
independence and fall prevention.
Inside this book you will find:
- Why functional fitness is the most important fitness
for adults over 65 -- and the research that proves it
- What genuinely changes in the body after 65 and
what can actually be reversed through training
- A complete balance training progression from
bilateral standing to reactive balance challenges
- The sit-to-stand mastery sequence -- the single most
important functional movement for independence
- Lower body strength training for quadriceps,
gluteals, and ankle stabilizers
- Upper body strength for carrying, reaching,
and getting up
- A complete 12-week program in three phases with
full exercise descriptions and safety guidelines
- Nutrition for muscle and bone -- protein targets,
Vitamin D, and hydration for older adults
- Modifications for arthritis, osteoporosis,
hypertension, and other common conditions
- A maintenance plan for lifelong functional fitness
Requires only a chair and resistance band.
No gym required.
Functional independence is built. Yours can be.
