Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You are not too old. You are untrained. There is a difference. After fifty, muscle drifts away at roughly one per cent a year. Strength goes two to three times faster than that, and power - the ability to catch yourself when a kerb arrives sooner than expected - faster still. Almost nobody tells you this. What they tell you instead is to be careful. This book takes the opposite position, and shows its working. In 1988 researchers walked into a Boston nursing home and asked ten residents to lift weights. Their average age was ninety. Several could not rise from a chair unaided. Eight weeks later their leg strength had roughly tripled and two of them no longer needed a cane. If the machinery still responds at ninety, the question at sixty was never whether it works. What this book actually does It starts with a chair. The first eight weeks use no weight at all - not because you are fragile, but because your tendons adapt on a slower clock than your muscles, and that gap is where returning lifters get hurt. From there it moves to machines, then free weights, then to writing your own programme. Twelve months from now, you should be able to: - Deadlift your own bodyweight for five controlled repetitions- Stand from a chair twenty times without using your hands- Balance on one leg for thirty seconds- Keep a training habit through travel, illness and a bad month Four things you can measure. Judge the book against them. Written for the body you actually have - Complete regressions - every movement has three easier versions, so there is a starting point even if you cannot manage one chair stand today- Forty-two illustrated exercises, plus printable training logs and a baseline test card- Arthritis, replaced joints, osteoporosis, high blood pressure - substitutions for each, and a decision tree for when something hurts- Menopause and bone loss - what changes, what does not, and why the timing matters more than anything else in the book- Protein, creatine, sleep - including how to keep muscle while losing weight on GLP-1 medication Referenced, and honest about the gaps Every protocol comes from published trials, with twenty primary sources listed at the back. There is also a section on what the evidence does not show - lifting has not been proven to reverse biological age or prevent dementia, and this book says so rather than selling you the exaggeration. Nell Bramley is not a physician or physiotherapist, and the book states that on page one. Start with a chair, a stopwatch and twenty minutes. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why is sunset orange How do astronauts go to the bathroom What would happen if you fell into a black hole How can a rocket booster land by itself Curious kids ask why about everything in the sky. How Space Works answers about 150 of those questions in the order one real night brings them. Juno and Peek the chameleon spend a whole night at Grandpa's house by the water, from the first orange sunset and the first look through Juno's new telescope to a rocket launch across the water at dawn.Space is too far to visit tonight, but you can always see it from somewhere else. So every part of the night stands in a different place: the sunset from above the air, the planets from up close, astronaut life from on board the space station, the stars from the side, a shooting star from a speck of dust, the biggest questions from far, far away, Earth from the Moon, and liftoff from the rocket. Eight places to stand, and one question to carry outside: what would it look like from over there - Predict first. Each part of the night opens on the real sky at a real time, with a countdown to liftoff, the child's own questions, and Peek hiding somewhere in the picture.- Turn the page for Peek's-eye view. A chameleon can point each eye a different way, so Peek keeps one eye with Juno and sends the other over there, with a short answer to every question.- Trace it. Deep-dive pages turn each answer into a numbered route, a cutaway or a zoom to follow with a finger.- Look up. Myths put to the test, gross-but-true facts, questions scientists are still working on, a safe try-it activity for every part of the night, like a sunset in a bottle or Moon craters in a tray of flour, and one thing to find in the real sky tonight.Plenty for kids who love astronauts and rockets: how astronauts eat, sleep and go to the bathroom, how the space station stays up, the first Moon landing (Grandpa watched it when he was ten), and every stage of a launch, from the water spray under the rocket to the booster landing itself.Made for ages 6 to 10: one part of the night is a bedtime read to share with a 6- or 7-year-old, and 8- to 10-year-olds can read it alone. Short answers, clear labels, full color throughout (every word sits on a light panel, even on the night pages), and a Question Finder, Word Finder and answers page at the back. The science is simplified but never untrue, and the Sun rule comes first: never look at the Sun.The last pages hand the sky back to your child, with eight things to find on their own clear nights, one for each place to stand. A gift to go with a first telescope or binoculars, and just as good without one, because most of the sights need only your eyes. Part of the Whynarium, a place for asking why.…
