Well Organized, Great Instructions and Illustrations of each Exercise
I ordered the Spiral-bound book and glad I did! It’s handy to have it lay flat while doing the 4 routines every morning. Each exercise has the page number next to the illustration so you can refer back for guidance while learning each one. I’m in my very senior years and find these exercises helpful and some a challenge, but something to work towards and get better. I tied a ribbon to the spiral for a page marker, which is handy. I sent other exercise books back, but this one is a keeper!

Easy to follow exercises
Easy to follow exercises and helpful as well. Too bad I didn’t stick with it. However, the book is a keeper, and I can always get back to it someday. I recommend getting the cards or the book with the spiral binding as that would be easier to keep open while following along.

Great for all ages!
This book offers great exercises that can be used at all ages. Itâs great that they start out with exercises for your core that can be done sitting. You then can advance to standing and then mat exercises as able or desired. I have actually stayed with the standing exercises and my core is significantly better. Has also helped with my balance. Only takes 5 to 10 minutes how to do the exercises.

Noticed results from day one!!!!
This is an astonishingly effective exercise book for Seniors or anyone who has neglected their physical fitness for a few years or more. I was impressed immediately with the map of the major core muscles as this gives you a quick perspective of the exact areas you will be working on. I had no clue! But could then picture the area when I was doing the exercise. I did not picture the muscles going as high as the lats. I was initially confused about what the Core muscles were as I thought they included the glutes, the quads and the hamstrings as well as some of the stomach muscles. However, when I immediately felt the difference overnight, I realized that I had been way off track on what I thought I needed to work on! Most exercises incorporate at least one or two of 5 of the eight core muscles shown PLUS one or two other areas not shown on the map, but are used often enough to complete the overall strengthening of the whole body. I think Cindy has creatively put together 40 critically important combos of exercises that always contribute to a very strong core while at the same time pairing with very important secondary muscle groups to come up with total body strengthening. I was amazed at how quickly my posture improved along with greatly improved core strength, combos doubling up for a faster rate than I ever would have thought possible. I also tried very hard to get the positions just right and the inhaling and exhaling (which I hate to do!!) It was hard work but very exciting when I saw how quickly it worked! Thank you, Cindy!

Maybe not for seniors
Anyone looking to purchase this book may want to review if first. There are a lot of exercises that were not for seniors with balance issues or who are unable to get on floor and back up. It was not what I thought it be.

Fantastic Book on Core Exercises for Seniors!
When I go to yoga classes, the teacher often takes one look at me as I walked into the room and announces to the class, “Today, we will focus on core poses!” LOL I am resistant (and always have been) of working my core. That said……………I love this book! The exercises are fairly easy to do (some extremely easy) and very effective. The illustrations are very good. I bought the spiral edition which makes it easy to lay the book flat as you follow the easy step-by-step instructions on the page on the right facing of each exercise–the illustrations of the exercise appears on the left page facing. After using this book enough, the illustrations alone (along with the “Remember” bubbles) are all you may need to remind you of how to do that particular exercise.You can use the suggested 5-minute routines in the latter part of the book or even work thorugh each group of core exercises which doesn’t take that long. The four groups of core exercises are: Seated Exercises, Standing Exercises, Mat Exercises, and Excercises with Weights.The availabe Cards look like they would facilitate easy groupings of the 4 different exercises which make up the many routines in the back of the book. However, I find the spiral-bound book easy enough to flip to the page # of the exercises and mark the spot with a “post-it note” for quick access. The routines give you the page number of the 4 individual excercises that make up the routine. One day I may eventually buy the card deck as well.Highly Recommended!!!!

Well-done Book!
I teach chair yoga (although we do a lot of standing movements and poses), and I’ve incorporated some of these exercises into my routines. This is a well-done, well-thought out book. Excellent explanation of what muscles are being worked. Also notes modifications. Perfect illustrations and instructions. Would highly recommend even for personal use. I bought the spiral-bound copy. Easier to peruse.

well written, easy to follow. and good illustrations. If you incorporate these into a literally 5 minute routine each day you will feel the difference rather quickly. improvement in motion and muscles.

The book is easy to read and the instructions are easy to follow. Pictures show the true form! I would recommend this to anyone at any age to start doing exercises with mobility issues!

Love the illustrations!! The descriptions are also very good and I have actually done them a time or two (chuckle) and I do like that there is also a condensed part with all the exercises together for ease of viewing. Colours are great, quality of paper and cover VG, would definitely recommend. I am senior (73) who has not kept moving as well as I ought, so this is a welcome resource for me!
