This friendly and informative book focuses on seven exercises that older women can use to strengthen their stomach and back muscles. The importance of working both sets of muscles to achieve a trimmer waist and flatter tummy, and to improve their overall balance and stability, is discussed.

The exercises are all well within the range of women who are not fit and include three exercises which use an exercise ball and three exercises which do not require any additional equipment. These exercises range in difficulty from very simple (sitting up straight at work on an exercise ball!) to slightly more taxing beginners€ Pilates-type exercises. The final tip, that exercise can be fun and social with belly dancing or zumba classes, rounds off this short book.
