This was an incredible find for me.  It will definitely be one of those reference books that stays permanently in my library.  One that I will surely reference over and over again. As someone who has suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury, getting back into exercising and a program of regular physical fitness can be daunting.  This clearly outlines the exercise along with very descriptive illustrations of the muscles that are being used. I have spent most of my adult life going to the gym and working out, so many of these exercises are familiar to me, but this book helps me to get a better look and appreciation for each of the exercises and how to apply them to my own personal routine.

Here is what the publisher has to say about this book.

The exercises in Anatomy of Exercise for 50+ will support good health at any age, but for those over fifty they can help in the prevention of specific age-related problems like joint mobility, balance and fatigue, as well as medical conditions like heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.

This book follows the successful format of the "Anatomy of" books, which have sold more than 500,000 copies. The series' revolutionary approach is the combination of photographs and lifelike anatomical drawings that reveal in colorful detail exactly which muscles are engaged and how, and which muscles benefit from each exercise.

For those who want to take control of their health, at whatever age, and for fitness trainers, physiotherapists, and activity managers in community care facilities, retirement homes and nursing homes Anatomy of Exercise for 50+ is an instructive and practical resource.
