STRENGTH AND BALANCE WITHOUT A GYM - 22 PAGES

Strength and balance do not quietly fade with age, they fade with disuse, and both are genuinely trainable at any age, well into your seventies, eighties and beyond. This guide shows you exactly how, using a sturdy chair, a wall and your own bodyweight in your own living room. How to start safely at any fitness level, the specific exercises that build real strength and steadiness, and how to make it a habit that lasts. Educational information only, not medical advice.
