Summary
Over 75 percent of older adults have at least one chronic health condition. Close to 50 percent have at least two. Would you like to stay out of those statistics? If so, then you need to keep reading....
According to Duke University's School of Medicine researchers, people start losing lean muscle and bone density at just 30 years of age. By age 50, your strength, balance, and endurance have already begun to wane.
It can be a scary thought to consider what it really means to get older—but don't be afraid. While the effects of aging are real and measurable, there is also significant evidence that they can be controlled, and even reversed, with one simple practice: regular strength and conditioning exercises.
If you've been looking for guidance to help you start or hone your personal fitness journey, you've come to the right place! In this audiobook and accompanying PDF, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
- How to develop a balanced, holistic at-home exercise program at any skill level
- Scientific explanations of the processes of aging so you can understand the why behind the changes you've been noticing
- Essential reasons why exercise and good nutrition is critical to aging well
- Key benefits of strength and conditioning training as well as the importance of mindset and goal when motivation wanes
- Foundational, intermediate, and advanced workouts designed to target balance, pain relief, and strength regardless of your past exercise experience, and much more....
With these strategies in hand, you'll be on your way to regaining the strength, flexibility, mobility, and vitality of your youth. Are you ready to embrace a healthier, more active lifestyle that empowers you to stay independent and enjoy life? If so, then you need to get this audiobook today!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great Book.
Excellent for the elderly as well as anybody who is rebuilding their strength or healing physically. Also maybe helpful for persons who have had negative emotional or mental experiences in the past about fitness, overtraining, and other similar topics. And are working to recover their physical strength. Even though I have a fair bit of physical discomfort on a daily basis, I am still able to complete my strengthening regimen. If you feel the need to make adjustments, you are free to switch between the warm-up exercises, the fundamental exercises, and the intermediate exercises depending on how your body responds to each one on a given day.
It allows me to relax and not stress about what I am capable of or not capable of doing.Definitely beneficial exercises and not overworking; modular aspects of practise that you can build on; ignore the 'aspirational' routines, and simply do the things!

A Reality Check
As someone who is already in her fifth decade of life, I know I need the information in this audiobook. The data presented is scary, shocking really but I realize this information is necessary for us to understand the importance and urgency of incorporating exercise into our largely sedimentary life.
My work requires long hours of sitting and this book reminds me of the dangers of sitting for long hours without intermittent movement. It was beautiful to see that the exercises presented in Chapter 8 are not very strenuous, indeed I found them fairly easy to execute. The book is a wake-up call but it is simultaneously very inspiring and gives me reason to hope. Thank you for pointing out that it's never too late and even small movements will make a difference.

Great book for seniors
Fantastic book that all seniors should listen to. Exercise is so important throughout our lives, even more so as we get older. I remember reading that strength training helps maintain healthy bones.
The book is super easy to follow with a pdf download with all the exercises on for you to refer to.
With great tips on strength and conditioning as well as nutrition, this book will give you all the info you need to stay healthy and fit in later life

A Must Read For All Seniors
I highly recommend this book on strength and conditioning training for seniors over 60! It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health as they age. The author's comprehensive approach to exercise and wellness is both informative and engaging, providing practical tips and strategies for building strength, increasing mobility, and reducing the risk of injury. This is NOT just a list of exercises, it delves deeply into the "why?" of strengthening at any age, which includes knowledge on anatomy and pathology. On a slightly more personal note, I work in a physical therapy office where the average patient is 45+, all the advice on avoiding pain like arthritis is 100% accurate and refreshing to hear coming from another source that a PT. Do you want to avoid arthritic pain? Do you want to decrease your chances of a dangerous fall? This book has the answers. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to stay active and vibrant in their golden years.

Five stars!
An incredibly helpful resource for seniors who are looking to improve their strength, balance, and energy levels through simple at-home workouts.
What I loved most about this audiobook was how easy-to-follow and practical the exercises were. The author, Matthew Case, provides clear instructions and demonstrations for over 100 exercises and workouts, making it easy for seniors to incorporate them into their daily routine.
The narrator's voice was clear and easy to understand, making the listening experience even more enjoyable. Overall, "Give Me Strength" is an excellent resource for seniors who want to maintain their physical health and independence as they age. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone over 60 who is looking to improve their overall fitness and wellbeing.

Comprehensive & motivational guide for aging well
What I liked most about this listen is the focus on the idea of goals and goal setting. The author gives examples of successful businesspeople and celebrities with a tie to their goal setting (and resulting success in life). As an entrepreneur, I found this to be an interesting link to healthy aging and fitness. I have a lot of books like this, but this format held my interest and helped me think about fitness from a different angle.
I also liked how the author matched specific exercises with how they will help me with everyday tasks. We've all seen that person who can barely stand up from a seated position and I don't want that to be part of my future.
At the end, there are several easy to follow workouts. At times, I get bored with doing the same exercises and lose motivation. With these new workouts, I can just drop the frustration of trying to sort out what I'm going to do. I can just play a workout, pause to do the motions, regroup, take another listen, do the movements, etc. My husband and I travel often, so this type of format helps when we're in hotel gyms or even when we have no/limited equipment (the author gives examples of what to use when you don't have gym equipment).
Overall, this is a well-written and researched audiobook. It's very comprehensive. A good investment.

Helpful book!
As a senior over 60 , I've noticed an increased need for exercise to maintain my strength and continue daily activities without undue effort. The first three-fourths of the book talks about the need for and benefits of exercise which for me was like preaching to the choir. When I finally got to the exercises, I was not disappointed. All he activities I was able to sample were good, effective, and safe. I'd feel good recommending this book to anyone over 60 , particularly if they have been living a sedentary lifestyle.
