The secret to a fitter, happier, healthier life after 50?
A game of tennis of course!
Recent reports in the national media have suggested that middle-aged men with low levels of physical activity and capability are dying far earlier than their healthier counterparts.* So, could a moderate activity like tennis help to keep older people healthier and fitter for longer? Author and Physiotherapist Suzanne Clark believes so!
Suzanne’s new exercise guide Play Tennis Forever (£12.99 Panoma Press), provides the reader with an insight not only on exercise through an enjoyable moderate activity, but allows them to truly understand their body and how their muscles work over 50.
Many of us believe the myth that once we hit 50 our bodies will start to fail us. This book dispels such myths and its intention is to show us how incredible we are, and how to make the most of what we are given, no matter what our age!
Suzanne Clark is a devout tennis player herself and draws on over 30 years experience as a Physiotherapist to help educate readers on the real benefits of tennis as an exercise activity.
Suzanne is also the founder of Fitter Forever, an organisation that helps people over 50 stay fit and healthy enough to continue enjoying sport as they get older.
Suzanne explains:
“In my book I explain what is actually happening to our muscles as we age, and what we can do to slow or prevent this change in easily understood language. I also explain how our muscles work to enable us to play tennis, and why it is important to strengthen certain muscles which will help improve our game and prevent injuries, both on and off the court.
As well as providing guidance and education, I also share detailed and easy-to-follow exercises, which can be fitted into daily activities rather than becoming a chore. No expensive equipment or lycra suits needed!”
For anybody looking to improve their health over 50, or those suffering from general aches and pains, Play Tennis Forever will help to improve health and fitness. It’s almost as if the reader has their own personal physiotherapist!
Play Tennis Forever by Suzanne Clark launches on 5th June. The book is published by Panoma Press and is available on Amazon.
