Stay Fit for Life

by Joshua Kozak

Future-proof your body and restore strength and mobility to everyday movements–all from home. You won’t believe how much these simple exercises will transform your life and give you confidence. All you need is your body, and maybe a chair and some very light weights.

They say 50 is the new 40, and you can make that a reality with streamlined functional training that is designed specifically for seniors and baby boomers! Stay Fit for Life empowers you to move with more ease and efficiency when performing functional movements.

Bending, twisting, pushing, pulling, and reaching–exercies targeting these movements make everyday activities such as running, gardening, or playing with grandchildren both easier and more enjoyable. Unlike traditional resistance training that targets isolated muscle groups, the compound movement exercises in Stay Fit for Life engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, helping people of all fitness levels lead more active, dynamic lives.

Here’s what you’ll find in Stay Fit for Life:

– Over 60 step-by-step exercises to increase strength, improve mobility, and enhance flexibility, all demonstrated with bright, clear photography
– Modifications for every exercise to make it easier or more challenging, including chair and low-impact variations
– Three four-week fitness programs designed to match every fitness level
– Twenty prescriptive workout routines designed to target specific needs such as lower back strength, posture improvement, aerobic fitness, balance and stability, and more

This Moment Is Your Life (and So Is This One)

by Mariam Gates

This lively, hands-on guide to meditation, mindfulness, and yoga is a perfect introduction for tweens and teens.

Don’t just do something, be here.

The key to happiness is being able to find comfort in this moment, here and now. When you are completely present and not distracted by regrets, worries, and plans, even for a little while, you begin to feel more confident and can deal more easily with everything you experience. This is mindfulness: paying attention to this very moment, on purpose and without judgment–simply being present with curiosity.

This engaging guide, packed with simple exercises and endearing full-color artwork, provides a handy starting point for bringing mindfulness into your daily life. Chapters on meditation, yoga, and mindful breathing explain the benefits of these practices, and you are free to pick and choose what to try. There are quick exercises throughout, and a more extensive tool kit at the end of each chapter. The final chapter offers satisfying five-day challenges that map out ways to pull all of the book’s mindfulness techniques together in your day-to-day life.

With the appeal of a workbook or guided journal, and full of examples relevant to tweens and teens today, this book will be your trusted companion as you begin the valuable, stress-relieving work of being still with skill.
