Move for life : a practical guide to building everyday strength, balance, and confidence for thriving after 65 / by Joyner, Damien A.,1978-author.; Osar, Evan,1969-writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Certified personal trainer Damien Joyner not only explodes the myth that growing older means growing weaker -- he offers expert guidance and safe, simple, effective exercises to empower you to regain and maintain your strength and autonomy. Too often, society tells you: as you age, you'll become frail. You'll lose your mobility. It's time to slow down. But at a time when nearly 50 million Americans are aged 65+, these assumptions are more harmful than ever -- especially because they're wrong. Joyner explains which exercises are the most important to prioritize for the movements you do every day -- whether that's standing up from a chair or getting groceries from the car into the cabinet. As a fitness professional who specializes in training people who are 50+, Damien Joyner's approach in Move for Life helps you build strength, increase flexibility, and work on your balance -- all while dispelling any doubts you may have about your ability to stay active after midlife.

Read by Joanna Gleason."In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis and the world goes to war, young Alma Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There she meets Ichimei Fukuda, the son of the family's Japanese gardener, and between them a tender love blossoms. Following Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled apart when Ichimei and his family - like thousands of Japanese Americans - are declared enemies by the US government and relocated to internment camps. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love they are forever forced to hide from the world. Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the older woman and her grandson, Seth, at Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma, and learn about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret passion that has endured for nearly seventy years."--Provided by publisher.

Walking with Beth : conversations with my 100-year-old friend / by Simonds, Merilyn,1949-author.;
"Merilyn Simonds's Walking with Beth allows us to eavesdrop on two women, one already a centenarian, talking frankly about what scares us all: growing old. It's a book with a unique take on longevity, full of wisdom, tenderness, joy and the passions that sustain a very long life. In the spring of 2021, worn down by pandemic isolation, Merilyn Simonds asked her friend Beth Robinson if she'd like to go for a walk. Simonds had just turned 70, which struck her as mysterious, even frightening stage of life. Yet she was still active, still writing and felt as strong as ever. Beth had just hit her centenary, a smart, vibrant woman who'd held a job until she was 99, still lived alone, and was as awake to the world as a person half her age. Who better to ask what might come next? During three years of weekly walks, the conversation between the two women deepened, as they opened up about their heart-felt passions, the lingering influence of their pasts, and their hopes and fears for the future. In Walking with Beth, Simonds shares these intimate exchanges, delving into corners of older women's lives rarely seen, reminded us that even though they are closer to the end of life, they have as much at stake as people of any age. As Simonds looks forward into a future that seems unknowable, Beth looks back, offering her experience in surviving the later-life blows that batter us all, and more importantly, her wisdom in enriching every passing day"--
