Abstract

Contributions to the book 'Age Well' by Sandra Parsons:

Appendix: Exercise programme for complete beginners

and

Chapter 3 (p.112-117): Warm up exercise programme and advice

"The hardest part of any exercise, regardless of what type – walking, cycling, swimming, jogging, strength training or stretching – is always the same. Starting.

Nothing is more difficult than making yourself begin. And that’s where this three-week exercise plan comes in, providing you with detailed instructions on what to do each day, in collaboration with two of Britain’s most inspiring and knowledgeable exercise experts: Dr Flaminia Ronca, associate professor of exercise neuroscience and programme director of Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences at UCL, and Dr Anne Elliott, senior lecturer in sports science at Middlesex University and a specialist in exercise for the middle-aged."
