Cardio for Seniors

We all want to live a long and healthy life. The best indicator of longevity is VO2 max. Only one kind of exercise will improve your VO2 max, and that's aerobic exercise, but a special way to exercise aerobically. Cardio for Seniors explains the importance of VO2 max and how it is essential for longevity. The book provides a wide gamut of potential aerobic exercise and how to most effectively utilize the exercise to maximize your VO2 max. Running may be the most common form of cardio exercise, but the book offers more than dozen others that are just effective-some of them even fun! For seniors worrying about pre-existing conditions, the book has special section on how to exercise with arthritis, COPD and even heart attack victims. Cautions may be necessary, but the book explains how cardio exercise may even relieve these conditions. RZ Foster, the author of Human Isokinetics, fills the book with personal anecdotes of his life-long fitness journey.
