The book demonstrates how the independence of elderly individuals can be maintained well into old age through targeted exercise training. Instructors, trainers, leaders of senior groups, as well as interested relatives and caregivers will learn which simple exercises can strengthen muscle power, stability, and balance. They will receive tips on how to maintain the mobility of seniors and which programs can improve both walking ability and overall mobility. Caregivers can read about how to specifically train hand strength and dexterity, enabling seniors to button their clothes and open a jar of jam independently. Since the physical conditions and endurance of elderly people vary greatly, exercises are presented for sitting, standing with support, and standing without support. All exercises are described in a straightforward manner.
