Very Good Resource
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook as a health enthusiast. I like that this book started with the essentials and ended with a 4-week strength training plan. There is also a bonus on nutrition, a critical factor in maintaining strength in your senior years. I also played this while driving my elder parents, and the contents resonated well (read: highly recommended).
