I liked this book because it gave some really good information about exercising in general, about how the muscles, tendons and ligaments all work in addition to some good exercises and instructions for developing a personal exercise program. Blank worksheets are included to help the reader set specific goals, manage stress, and record progress in workouts. This is a short book but packed with helpful and interesting information on strength training specifically for people over 50. It also includes several different scenarios from real clients he worked with who had different problems to provide inspiration.

To answer the excuse of having no time, Michael Fekete says on pg. 122:

"Put your priorities in order. Eliminate the useless, the unproductive, and the nonsensical. You will be surprised at the amount of time freed up for training. The time you allot to exercise is your best investment. If you think that you cannot make time for exercise now, then be sure to make plenty of time for illnesses and hospitals later."

I highly recommend this book! I found it helpful.

I first saw STRENGTH TRAINING FOR SENIORS mentioned on FirePointe.com, a senior site dedicated to romance and an energetic lifestyle. Then I read books like Dr. Ruth's SEX AFTER 50 and Jeoffrey and Renee Powell's SEASONED ROMANCE, and saw an overall pattern emerging...to live life to the fullest and enjoy romance and wellness and a great attitude more than ever, fitness is both basic and imperative.

All this caused me to start making changes. I ordered STRENGTH TRAINING FOR SENIORS, SENIOR FITNESS and a couple of other related fitness, strength and stretching books. This one is a great primer for all seniors, regardless of your health background. It takes from from A to Z, and builds on a growing desire to get stronger, healthier and more agile.

You can't go wrong with STRENGTH TRAINING FOR SENIORS! And what a difference a better, stronger body makes in every area of life, including lovemaking.

Excellent motivator and instruction aid for seniors who want to re-up into the world of healthy exercise and re-wind their biological clock.

Has a whole section on understanding the basis of our strength with diagrams of the muscular system of the human body. Good reading.
