Independence for Life: The Complete Guide to Building Strength and Regaining Mobility Beyond 50 - Will Harlow, BSc, MSc, MCSP, Cert. MA (Paperback) 26-05-2026
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Thriving Beyond Fifty. Getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down. Discover how to create a personalized plan to build strength, protect bone health, restore balance and improve mobility at any age. Physiotherapist and over-50s health specialist Will Harlow, who has helped millions through his YouTube channel, shows you how to build your own transformative, step-by-step plan based on his Four Pillars of Independence - strength, mobility, balance and skeletal health. First, you'll assess your starting point, then choose exercises to target your weak areas and create a routine that grows with you. This isn't about fixing one issue at a time - it's about building a plan to keep your whole body strong, mobile and independent for years to come. Inside, you'll find science-backed strategies, easy-to-follow exercises and simple self-assessments to help you track your progress and stay motivated, whatever your starting point. You'll learn how to: * Build muscle and stability safely at any age, even if you've never trained before. * Improve balance and coordination to prevent falls and move with confidence. * Protect and strengthen your bones to reduce the risk of fracture. * Maintain and restore mobility so your body works with you, not against you. * Reduce pain so you can stay active and get back to doing the things you love. * Create a structured routine you can follow week by week and adapt as you improve. Independence for Life is more than a collection of exercises - it's your complete guide to building a clear, personalized roadmap for ageing well. You're not too old and it's never too late - you just haven't had the right plan. Until now.
