6 Ways To Senior Fitness: Exercise For Seniors Over 60 For More Strength, Better Bones, Mood, And Motivation by Dallin Banks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

6 Ways To Senior Fitness: Exercise For Seniors Over 60 For More Strength, Better Bones, Mood And Motivation.

This book is aimed at seniors who might want to start a fitness regime. The first half of the book talks about health, nutrition and fitness, while the second part has a range of suggested exercises that seniors might do with a final section about nutrition and diet.

I liked the idea of this book and the exercises have some useful simplistic diagrams to help visualise the movements. However, I found that the writing style of the book reminded me of educational assignments, similar to ones written by university students; there were lots of references to other texts which over-powered the voice of the author.

This might be a useful starting point for senior fitness, but the presentation style didn’t grab me.

Failosophy for Teens by Elizabeth Day

Failosophy is a book written for teens on the subject of failure. It provides a seven step coping method which is interlaced with tips and true stories from a selection of celebrities.

Author Elizabeth Day has written this book in conjunction with her podcasts and live shows. It is an interesting subject, particularly with so much peer and social media pressure that focuses on success. Everyone fails at something and this book looks at ways to see adverse outcomes as life-lessons, and it also offers advice on how to cope with lack of success in many spheres of life.

The teen years can be tough, so this book may be very useful, especially to someone who feels isolated and alone due to their perception of their own failures.
