About this listen
"Strength training" and "seniors" does not sound like a probable match, but in fact it is a match made in heaven. The mere thought of people who are past their physical prime pumping iron might seem vain or ludicrous, but millions of seniors are discovering the manifold benefits of strength training, and the medical community continues to produce studies showing that those who dare to incorporate strength training in their weekly routines gain all sorts of physical and emotional benefits.
Unfortunately, many seniors discover the wonders of strength training while doing rehabilitation after a surgery or a fall. You don't have to wait until you experience a health crisis to begin doing strength training. In fact, starting a regular strength training program could prevent many of the crises that force seniors to do workouts with weights.

Story
Before beginning a muscle-building program, it is critical to understand its purpose. Muscle is simply the tissue in our body that provides us with the necessary power to move in various directions. As bodybuilders, our primary focus is on skeletal muscle. What exercises can we perform to improve our bodies and increase muscle? It is critical to remember that each individual has a unique body mass. Muscles must be exercised to be strengthened. This necessitates weight training. You can begin with modest weights and gradually increase them.

It is widely believed that improving your appearance will lead to success in other areas; jobs, relationships, personal well-being. And while there are some studies which suggest this is the case - for example, because of the biases which are often expressed against heavier people at school and in the workplace - there are others who argue these effects don't last beyond first impressions. The truth is, devoting too much attention to appearances can damage a person's self-esteem.

Too Basic
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
someone who believes that seniors can't lift
Has Strength Training for Seniors turned you off from other books in this genre?
no
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Feelings? Hmmm. I may need to spend some time on a velvet couch before I can articulate those.
Any additional comments?
This book may turn a light-bulb on for the person who has never touched a weight or the person who has always assumed that weights are only for steroids-swollen bodybuilders. As a person who has had his hands on weights for a long time, I sought some specific details on physiology and nutrition for the aging lifter. This book was way too elementary to provide much of that. Much of the brief time was wasted just making the case for seniors lifting at all. It then described some basic dumbbell lifts and calisthenics for major muscle groups which all lifters are familiar with. There were some tips on form and pace (like going slow on the negative) which novice lifters need to know, but those tips apply to a 16yo, just as they apply to a senior. I did not continue listening to the very end because it was clear that this book was too elementary.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
