5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful safe advice
In just a short time I found this book very helpful. I am recovering from a knee injury and it is giving me exercises that already are making a difference. The introduction and explanation are great, the exercises easy to follow and overall, I am a happy purchaser.
5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for all ages in this bracket
I found this book to be useful for both myself and my 92 year old Mum. She felt she was to old to ever exercise again but really enjoyed (and benefitted from) participating.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Exercises for Seniors
As someone who is becoming stiff and creaking around the edges I found this a useful companion book. Has useful exercises but lots also about how and why we lose muscle mass and the consequences of falling. If we learn to keep our bodies as strong as possible as we age we are in the best position to live a full and healthier life. Anyone with limited mobility that can sit in a chair can do these exercises
5.0 out of 5 stars Determination
Aging can be very complex and confusing to navigate. It is important we do not let it overcome us. With a very good exercise routine like the chair one, a change of diet, consistency, and determination, aging should not scare anyone and you can reclaim your "youthfulness" in your old age.
3.0 out of 5 stars An average book
I think the covers to me look like it's AI-generated, which to me it's already a turn off.I would expect this to have more illustrations, but it's not. So two stars down. Won't be buying the paperback given these points.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book For seniors
Well recommended book for seniors. The Author starts by introducing the importance of exercising- we seniors have already given up thats why we need this kind of introductory encouragement. The book is well written and well focused on seniors who have a lot of ailments and therefore chair exercises make sense when the legs have given up. Well written and edited plus well presented. I am very encouraged and will share with other seniors how important this book is to add more years to our lives.
Easy does it!
"Chair exercises for seniors" offers a fantastic way for older adults to stay active, improve strength and flexibility, and enhance overall well-being. The exercises are designed to be gentle on the joints and can be easily modified to accommodate individual needs and abilities. The use of a chair provides stability and support, allowing seniors to safely engage in a variety of movements that target different muscle groups. Chair exercises offer a convenient and effective solution for seniors to maintain their fitness and lead an active lifestyle.Easy to read and follow!
Easy-to-follow exercises applicable to anyone
I find this book interesting, particularly for my father, who had his right knee amputation and a slight stroke last year. The chair workout caught my eye since it proved that working out while sitting is feasible.Although the book is intended for older readers and those with limited mobility, I find myself completing the reading tasks. I believe it can benefit people like me who work from home and neglect to exercise. I now realize that I have no excuse for not exercising, even for five to ten minutes every day.
Good ideas and a program to go with it
I appreciated his introductory remarks on the importance of exercise as we get older. I'm afraid I'm in that category. It takes days to lose muscle tone and weeks to get it back. Having cared for several older folks, I know the dangers of falling. The program lays out a variety of exercises. I know someone with grip issues and I may get this for her. So, you can do them all or do the ones you most need. I recognized some of them from physical therapy after a knee operation. This is a very helpful resource.
Surprisingly exhilarating
I must admit I was skeptical about this as other books on this subject are totally impractical. Even though I have severe spinal problems and am awaiting extensive major surgery within the month, I was able to perform the majority of the exercises and felt exhilarated after doing them. Some, however, eluded me but I am hopeful to test those out after my recuperation It is simple to follow along, and is an easy read with extensive references.The only recommendation I would suggest for future editions would be to include exercises specifically designed to improve balance, a major problem for many seniors, and perhaps an index.Would highly recommend this book
Planning for Health and Strength
“Chair Exercises for Seniors: Stay Strong and Balanced with 7 Daily Low-Impact Routines; Reduce Pain, Prevent Falls, and Improve Mobility for a Healthier, More Independent Lifestyle” by Luke Adams is a primer for all of us who want to maximize our health and strength throughout all the years of our lives.Author Luke Adams begins by dramatizing the importance of exercise. It is a wise way to start his book because so many of us are lazy. We don’t want to exercise! Besides, if we’re struggling with a weight problem, we’ve learned that exercise never helps us lose as much weight as we think it should. What we often fail to consider is that, regardless of our weight, exercise is the key to vibrant health while we’re young and perhaps even more so in our older years.So, Kudos to Mr. Adams for his convincing argument that we need to exercise!The exercises Adams recommends are gentle and accessible to almost anyone. Of course, some folks may have pre-existing conditions that rule out some of the exercises. However, in this book, I believe they will still find many exercises they will be able to do and which will be beneficial to them.As I read through the exercises in the book, I began to feel overwhelmed. There are so many! Here’s a list:• Warm up exercises• Ankle and leg exercises• Neck and shoulder exercises• Upper and lower back exercises• Arm, wrist, and hand exercises• Strength building exercises from your core• Cool down exercisesJust when I was thinking, “It’s too much!” I got to Chapter 11. In “Building Your 7-Day Routine,” Adams explains how to develop an exercise routine that is not overwhelming, but does provide variety, so you don’t get bored. That’s why he offers so many exercises. What a great plan!“Chair Exercises for Seniors: Stay Strong and Balanced with 7 Daily Low-Impact Routines; Reduce Pain, Prevent Falls, and Improve Mobility for a Healthier, More Independent Lifestyle” by Luke Adams is a treasure of a book. You should buy two - one for yourself and one as a stocking stuffer that tells a friend, “I love you and want you to stay well and strong!”
