      Unfortunately I am disappointed with this book - in that I feel I wasted one of my credits.
      This is partly my fault as I didn't look closely enough at the summary and I should have been more careful when I realised that there wasn't an index in the preview (my usual rule is no index - don't bother as how can you tell what is in the book?).
      Negatives:
      (1) This book is only 31 pages long - leading to not that much info - I feel that perhaps it is meant to accompany something else?
      (2) I feel the book is aimed at a Gym workout ie using gym equipment. There are 8 exercises - all require equipment. 3 require professional equipment, whilst the other 5 require equipment that you may have room for at home - these are a therapeutic exercise ball, a flat bench for stepping, and dumbbells. You would need prior knowledge or professional assistance to ensure that you bought the correct size of equipment for yourself. I believe this to be true because in the past I attended an exercise class which used therapeutic balls, and we all had to be measured to make sure we got the correct diameter for our height.
      Positives:
      (1) The introduction (about 15 pages) is very good in explaining benefits for strength exercise for the over 50s and why this is something that is achievable. This is why I "bought" the book.
      (2) The exercises are explained well with clear photo's showing the exercises being performed on the equipment.
      Not so good:
      (1) There is only one plan/routine - has the advantage that it is simple to remember, but the disadvantage is that you need to understand enough to know whether you can do these exercises at these levels in your current health
      (2) It mentions warm-up but just says "You can warm-up by doing at least five minutes of any type of
      cardiovascular activity at a slow to moderate pace". Again I feel this requires former knowledge.
      (3) There is no mention of "Cool down".
      Conclusion:
      I think this booklet is aimed at either
      (a) a person who has a good understanding of regular workouts using professional gym equipment and understands their own fitness levels and how to prepare (warm-up) and how to "cool down";
      or
      (b) I could see it being suitable for a person who is working with a trainer who uses these exercises. For instance I used to attend a Gym where you had a monthly assessment & training session, and so had to remember the routines between times - if I had been using these particular exercises then this book would make a great aide-memoir.
