Good basic information
It was a good basic text with age appropriate models which I think is important for these kind of books. It provides good basic information that's safe. The only fault I have is that the pictures could be sharper and larger.

Excellent kettlebell reference
To put my review into perspective, this isn't my only kettlebell book. I point that out because it would make an extremely satisfactory 'one and only' reference but it offers no new insights if you already have other options. It does, however, have more photographs than most kettlebell books. I'm not sure a 50+ with severe physical limitations would pick this up as their first book but, if they did, they would be encouraged to see the exercises laid out progressively, meaning they start out with the basic move and show the advanced version as the modification. In most videos and books (for under 50's?) the reverse is true in that the most basic movement is listed as a modification when one is offered at all. Kettlebells for 50+... doesn't condescend to its target audience at all. It assumes we have made a commitment by purchasing it and will get off our bums and start swingin', which I like.

Book is important for what and how to use kettlebells, how what to avoid for seniors.
The book is really helpful on instruction of how to use the bells and how not to use them. You just don't pick them up and go to work. I am 76 years old and must pay attention to the particular exercises to use and those to avoid. The exercises are described in a clear manner. I wouldn't use the kettlebells without some instruction.

Great book for beginners with bad backs
I got this to up my strength training. I love it and use it everytime I exercise which is 3-4 times a week. I suggest before beginning, to get advice on the proper form. Or watch the various exercises online. Otherwise, you'll risk injury. I'm at level 3 and will slowly work my way up.
