Book Reviews of Strength Training Past 50
Book Review: title a little deceiving. Typical Westcott.
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking for a book with information on training older adults. This book isn't about that... It is a book on general weight training with general programs and general guidelines. It's a typical Westcott book with a few pages of general guidelines and principles and a few program examples. The majority of the book is pictures of exercises which are absolutely useless if you own any other book on weight training and have a basic understanding of resistance training. If you know anything about weight training and exercise, don't buy this book.
Summary of Strength Training Past 50
Increase your strength to improve your health, your appearance, and your performance--with Strength Training Past 50!Strength training has numerous advantages for the active adult, including enhanced athletic performance and reduced risk of disease, including decreased symptoms of arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Strength Training Past 50 has everything you need to start enjoying these benefits or to jump-start your current routine:
- 63 exercises for both free weights and machines
- 14 workout plans for increasing size, endurance, and strength
- Sport-specific programs for running, cycling, swimming, skiing, tennis, and golf
- Eating plans for increased strength gains
Strength training is an equal-opportunity exercise system; studies show that anyone who tries it can benefit. Muscle loss is inevitable through the years if you're sedentary. But no matter how old you are when you start, strength training has nearly immediate benefits: more muscle mass, more strength, less fat. This book gives older exercisers all the information they need to get started, including advice on testing for strength and how to pick a qualified personal trainer.
