"Looking to feel stronger and more flexible as you age? Aging Stronger is your program for doing just that, complete with photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions. People worldwide are living longer but they aren't living better. Chronic illness and obesity are on the rise and basic mobility issues are the most common disability of getting older. The biggest predictor of aging well is strength and mobility. While accounts on social media giving short-form workouts abound, quick fixes don't work and they will likely get you injured. The body must be worked in a systematic way that builds and preserves strength for functional movement and flexibility. This book gives you the plan to do it successfully. Written by top strength and rehab expert Matt Wiest, Aging Stronger gives you: A realistic and sustainable 3-tier functional fitness approach that relieves the nagging aches and pains you've learned to endure; A program that will build strength and mobility for your later years; Simple exercises broken down with step-by-step instructions so you can understand how to do each move safely and effectively; 200 full-color photographs showing proper form. Avoid fragility and age stronger with this accessible guide at your side." --
