Dynamic Aging: Simple Exercises for Whole-Body Mobility : Bowman M.S., Katy, Allen, Joan Virginia, Wilgus, Shelah M., Woods, Lora, Faber, Joyce: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Easy to put into practice - I bought this with my 87 year old mother in mind (she is still reasonably mobile but slowing down quite rapidly now). The print is quite large and it is an easy book to read. The exercises are mostly doable for her, but also interest me too (in my 50's). Review: Excellent - Nice book. It deals vey well with really basic stuff that older people may have issues with e.g walking, standing on one foot, sitting on a chair and standing up again, movements used in driving a car, how to get more movement into your life. This is all stuff we have been doing most our lives, but there are lots of ways to (mis)use your body, and you might find that some of ways you do some of these things could do with some work. Thought provoking and very good.

Easy to put into practice
I bought this with my 87 year old mother in mind (she is still reasonably mobile but slowing down quite rapidly now). The print is quite large and it is an easy book to read. The exercises are mostly doable for her, but also interest me too (in my 50's).

Clear and Informative......
This book is an easy read, clear and informative with good explanations about the benefits of doing the specific exercises and following the programme to enhance the whole body and to live an active life into later years.

Surprisingly effective!
Clear, convincing, well illustrated, and an enjoyable read. Katy Bowman's approach is practical, realistic, and very much based on "start where you are", but it's also remarkably effective. I've seen for myself that if you keep up the exercises you really can make surprising gains.

Life enhancing for ageing bodies
Excellent for both men and women although written for women. Practical ,clear and useful exercises particularly in conjunction with some mobility yoga and general body maintenance, swim,walk etc. Written in simple unfussy language.

Very good book. Bought for my 84 year old mother ...
Very good book. Bought for my 84 year old mother who was initially reluctant to read it "I'm not going hiking along the sea like those women on the cover!" But then I caught her reading it and commenting on how useful she found both the text and the images. Katy Bowman is brilliant.

goo. Buy this one
all golden girls like myself will benefit from this. Geared to what is good and fun for us rather than gym bunny extremes.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a body. This book helps to eliminate restrictions we place on ourselves as we age, both physically and mentally. The best years are ahead and this book helps us step into them with strength, grace, hope and health! An easy understandable and actionable read.

Book falling apart, most of the pages have come away from the cover, very poor binding, glue has failed. Interesting book, with added exercise of picking the pages up off the floor.

it is great to read about people around 80 years old moving so freely. if most 80 year old could move more the world would be a better place.

Very good book for anyone who wants to have a more mobile lifestyle. Lots of exercise tips, large print, easy to read.

Bien écrit, ce livre apporte des informations capitales pour qui veut conserver toutes sa fonctionnalité, et, par exemple,continuer à courir ou marcher dans la nature alors que les années s'accumulent. Des réflexions et des méthodes efficaces pour s'entretenir dans sa vie quotidienne. Je recommande.
