Reach for It: A Handbook of Health, Exercise and Dance for Older Adults [Paperback] Metal-Corbin, Josie

The spirit of this book can best be captured in the saying: If you don't use it, you lose it. Staying active is important throughout a person's life. It is never too late to change a sedentary lifestyle or to learn new things. The material in this book is directed towards older adults and those who lead older adults in health, exercise and dance programs. For the most part, the exercises and dance activities in this book were selected because they can be performed in small spaces on a limited budget using free, inexpensive or no equipment. Some activities are designed for individuals and others are for small or large groups. A major portion of this book is devoted to descriptions, suggestions and procedures for exercise and dance activities, therefore, they may be read in any sequence.
