Chair Yoga for Weight Loss & Toning: Complete Guide to Look and Feel Better in Just 10 Minutes a Day - Exercise Book for Seniors over 60 (Defy Aging at Home)

I was looking for a book that had chair yoga exercises to help tone my saggy tummy and help with my flexibility and stability at age 66. I was also diagnosed with diabetes and heard that yoga was helpful in reducing A1C numbers! This book by Alex Harper is awesome and was just what I was looking for, as it is written in big print, includes detailed but easy-to-follow directions and pictures, and gives you so many options! The 28 day challenge is all mapped out for you and each routine is just as it says...just 10 minutes per day! I do the 10 minute routine and then do my walk outside each day. It is easy to manage, and I am going to pack this book for our upcoming vacation! And by the way, I brought my A1C down from 6.6 to 6.1 and this book was definitely a contributing factor! Give it a try!

Just starting out, but the exercises seem easy to do. And I go at my own pace. I'm not able to do every single one of them but I'm working up to it. Lots of tips and suggestions.

My story may be a tad different than most. I'm recovering from a bilateral masectomy; it's crucial that I maintain an activity level....as someone who has managed health clubs, been a certified trainer/taught classes (aerobics, dance therapy, tai chi chuan, qi gong +) for many years .....then found myself diagnosed w breast cancer (2002) - recovered extremely well.....and to have to revisit this dreadful situation again some 22+ years later; Breast Cancer 2.0, eh......so I've opted for many lifestyle changes once again.....after caring for and losing the last of my family members and realizing my motivation and metabolism sucks now....I've chosen this book...along w other practices to find myself again....I can't do a lot yet (using arms in many of the exercises is still painful - the pecs cause incision pulling and general 'weirdness' ! Haha - but are tantamount to the overall workout and I'm improving every day/week, so am sure I'll get there - esp since the absolute love of my life is there; I'll be moving overseas to start a new chapter and we're both ecstatic - finding eachother in our 60s !!!....sooooo....thank you for one of the most thorough and concise 'remedies' for extending, maintaining & promoting wellness I've ever run across ! And the bonuses are an exciting reward ! Thanks again, Alex ! Be well.

Practical and clear instructions for all the yoga exercises are included in this easy to use book. The large print makes it easy to see while doing the exercises until you learn them all. Morning and evening routines and the 28 day challenge are also very well written. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to start a routine they can sustain.

Easy to understand the directions and not too stressful to do. My time to complete a session is about 15 minutes if done with concentration on the moves. I had a time break of 2 weeks and started from the beginning and it was easiesr the second time around

Excellent guide for beginners to more advanced. I’m of the age that start slow is best to avoid injuries. Expect a learning curve and take your time. It does get more rewarding as you lose the weight and feel more confident in pushing yourself a little more. I’m tall and have found starting on a taller chair has helped with some of the poses. Don’t give up, it takes time to develop a good habit. This book is a great tool to do just that.

This book is very helpful to motivate me to continue improving my strength and mobility.

Great content and easy to follow. Must own.

Simple, clear and encouraging for both men and women, lots of additional reference and support material included.
