Get stretching

It was just what I was looking for to help me get my body in shape. I will be stretching at least every other day.

The perfect book on this subject

Great book for those of us who aren't "young" anymore but would like information on how to improve our fitness as we age as well as how to prevent injury. Consequently, I think the book is an excellent purchase for those in *our* agegroup who want to either maintain or improve their bodies.
I found a copy at the local library and have checked it out numerous times. I keep going back to it. I'm just going to have to buy my own.

Highly recommended

This book is filled with common sense advice and some fantastic exercises. I'm 50 and in fairly good shape (I run, elliptical or bike for a half hour 5-6 days a week - plus I walk my dog for an hour each day). I've been experiencing "boomeritis" in recent months and was going from one injury to another. And half the time, the injury came about from doing simple tasks like tossing a ball for my dog or just getting out of bed in the morning. Vonda Wright is an orthopaedic surgeon so I trusted what she had to say - and again, the book is really filled with common sense advice. She gives great flexibility and strength training workouts and answered most of the questions I had about how to remain active when your body is starting to balk. It motivated me to incorporate a strength training workout into my usual routine, and I'm glad I did. The book is for anyone who enjoys being active (or is just starting out and wants to become active) and hopes to stay that way for a long time. I highly recommend this book.
