Exercise and Physical Activity

This completely updated from the National Institute on Aging's Exercise and Physical Activity Task Force, this 120-page book for older adults provides tips for getting started, including how to set goals and measure progress, and offers helpful worksheets. Sample exercises -- to improve endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility -- include easy directions and colorful photos to help readers do them safely.

Developed under the guidance of the NIA Exercise and Physical Activity Task Force, the guide also offers a chapter on healthy eating, 20 frequently asked questions with answers, a list of more than 30 organizations to contact for other resources, and a tear-out card to order an official NIA physical activity certificate.
