strength training workouts after 40 50 60

improve strength and flexibility and reduce the rish of injury

Some common mistakes that people make when they start out resistance band training:

Using the Wrong Band. Choosing the appropriate resistance level is crucial to ensure that the exercise is challenging yet manageable.
Poor Form and Technique. It's essential to maintain proper posture, engage the correct muscles, and perform the movements with control and stability
Overstretching the Bands. Stretching the bands beyond their limits is a mistake that can cause them to snap or break, resulting in potential injuries
Neglecting Proper Breathing. Breathing is often overlooked during resistance band exercises. Holding your breath or breathing improperly can lead to increased tension and reduced stability
Not Balancing Muscle Groups. Focusing solely on certain muscle groups while neglecting others can create muscular imbalances and potential injuries

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!
"Resistance Band Workouts for Seniors is a great book to use as a reference for getting fit using resistance bands. It provides wonderful exercises for improving mobility, muscle strength, bone health and a three-week program for beginners. It is a well written book with a format that is easy to read and follow. It gives information on the various bands, how to use them along with proper form and a wealth of other information as well."

- Merry Jelks-Emmanuel, Vine Voice Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Terrific Resource!

"Just what I was looking for. Working a desk job for 30 years and over 60 has left me stiff and sore. Much more limber now and sleeping better after working some of these exercises. The breakdown in muscle groups is great, with diagrams, instructions and Take Care sections that were very helpful. Forearm section helped tone up my batwings. Three week program layouts give you a great mixture."

- Jossie Luz, CPT

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good Reference

"This is a good quick reference guide to core exercises for older people, just as the name says. While I've seen almost all of the exercises before, it's nice to have them all together in one place, and with a picture and description of each one."

- Will Read, PTDC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Resistance Band Workouts for Seniors: Beginner to Advanced

"I have used resistance bands for years to keep fit. They are easy to use, come in different resistance strengths (color-coded) to target certain areas and to allow you to move up to more of a challenge as your muscles tone. With this author's instructions and tips, you will be all set to get started or to move forward and try something you may not have known about before. It may seem very simple, but keeping those muscles fit without undue strain can mean more mobility as you age. ***And the first step to any exercise program is to check with your doctor or healthcare provider to discuss whether this is "safe" for you and what things you might want to be careful about specific to your current health.

This book has 3 main divisions:
Part 1: The Foundation - what kinds of bands are available, the benefits of using them, and what precautions to look for.
Part 2: The Exercises - details on all the moves and target areas.
Part 3: The Action Plan - one-week programs targeted at your fitness level to take you to increased bone density, stronger muscles, and better health.

Pictures will show you proper positions for the workout. Standing or sitting, you can choose what works for you as the author will inform you of your choices for each exercise. Her instructions are simple to follow. I have purchased several of her workout books and feel comfortable participating in the programs she presents for us. And working out right in your home is so convenient!"

My husband and I recently order a set of resistance bands. Being in our late 70's, we wanted to do a complete set in a safe way. This book is awesome! It has gradations for ability, and a plan to move up as we are ready. We each use it to do the bands for all sets of muscles - maybe 20 minutes a day. If any exercise is unclear from the photo, you are referred to an onsite video to see it in action! THE BEST!!!

Very good book - but not for all seniors, please revise

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023

Very good and thorough, however I think it is not fully targeted at seniors. I got it for my 83-year old father in law who recently had a stroke. While he almost fully recovered, he has problems walking straight and standing - not to mention standing on one leg. He is very satisfied with the book, but cannot execute most exercises. There are multiple exercises in the horizontal position, barely anything to do when sitting and way too many requiring good balance and standing on a single leg. So in other words - this book may be for older people, but not the real seniors with their problems. I think the contents should be revised in this direction. To add more leg and body exercises in horizontal position as a starter before the person doing them will be able to stand securely.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Fitness for both "old" and "young" folks

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024

As a fitness instructor for active seniors, I am always looking for new ideas to keep my classes fresh and interesting, as well as safe for participants. We use bands, balls, and dumbbells -- but I was pretty much sticking with bicep curls. Now I have several more exercises to add to the mix that are both safe and different. The great thing about bands is, not only can the exercises be made as easy or hard as you like, but they are also very doable and beneficial for all age groups.

A summary of others work

Reviewed in the Netherlands on June 2, 2023

What a beautiful cover!
Like most books there is a free bonus offer, unfortunately this is the same bonus offer as in all the previous books, so of no valuable if you have purchased an earlier book.
The first two chapters provide good concise intro information about bands, types pro and cons of each and safety tips.
The exercises start in chapter 3. Each exercise has a medium sized illustration, large enough if I have my glasses on but some seniors may find them too small. Personally, I find some of the illustrations a little scary. I do like very much that there are arrows showing the direction of movement.
My problem is they seem just to be just summaries of other peoples work, a feeling is back up by the 'See it' link included below the instructions directing you to other peoples websites to see their videos. I'm presume this is what Baz paraphrase's for his exercise instructions. I really wonder if those sites are aware of this.

As a buyer of an earlier book I received an offer to receive a free copy in advance, but when I attempted to claim it I had to tick a box guaranteeing I would leave a review. So the advanced copy was actually in exchange for a review and therefore not really free - also this is a breach of Amazon review rules.

This is my honest review given after refusing to accept a free copy in exchange for guaranteeing a review.
