Core Exercises for Seniors Over 60

For most, their priorities lie in simply being able to do what they enjoy with loved ones. But these activities often require a level of independence and mobility, which so many of us take for granted. Our muscle strength and function lie at the heart of these priorities, allowing us to move purposefully and offer protection if and when accidents happen. Sadly, about 36 million falls occur among individuals 65 years of age and older each year in the United States. From death to broken bones, falling can have serious consequences, and the cost of these falls is more than $50 billion annually.
The age-old adage "use it or lose it" perfectly describes our relationship with fitness and affects everyone worldwide. Studies show that building and incorporating a core-based exercise routine into your daily life can decrease the number of falls and improve overall balance and stability, exponentially increasing quality of life.
This book will delve deeper into each muscle group and walk you through over 80 illustrated, step-by-step core exercises to help train and strengthen these essential and often overlooked muscles.
In a world filled with uncertainty, take some solace in knowing that you have the power and ability to strengthen your core and better your health. When you combine your knowledge and dedication with consistency, the information and tools included in this book will guide you toward progress and success!
