Product Description Co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley, Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. This is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. Using the same inspired structure of alternating voices, Chris and Harry have recast material specifically for women, who already live longer and take better care of themselves than men. New material covers menopause and post-menopause, as well as cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, and more. This is the book that can show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation. Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.
Book Description Now, a women’s edition. A New York Times bestseller with 115,000 copies in print in hardcover, Younger Next Year is the breakthrough program for men to turn back their biological clocks and live healthier, more active lives into their 80s and beyond. Experts believed, the press raved: “An extraordinary book. It is easy to read and the science is right.” —K. Craig Kent, M.D., chief of vascular surgery, New York–Presbyterian Hospital “Brain-rattling, irresistible, hilarious . . . it could change your life.”—Washington Post But the fact is that women have even more to gain from Younger Next Year. Just as the average woman lives longer (three decades past menopause) than the average man, the average woman has more anxiety about aging. Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope. Though keeping the same lively, alternating voices—Chris Crowley’s rough-and-ready passion for the cause, Harry Lodge’s cool, convincing science—the book is recast to bring its revolutionary findings about staving off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging specifically to women. It covers menopause and postmenopause at length, cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, even finances. It adapts its simple, lifesaving motivational rules—Exercise Six Days a Week, Don’t Eat Crap, Connect to Other People—to contemporary women’s lifestyles. And brings to its message a refreshing bluntness that says yes, you have come a long way, and you’ve got a longer way to go. Now enjoy it for all it’s worth.

Good Advice October 30, 2009 M. Brown (Palm Beach, FL) This book is humorously written with good advice that everyone should follow, but only if they want to be healthy and live longer.
Feeling younger already October 14, 2009 Gail B. Walker (Painesville,OH) Been feeling blue about turning 60 soon. I've taught fitness at our local YMCA since 1981; must admit my workouts were becoming mentally boring to me. This book has reminded me why I'm into fitness for the long haul; I'd lost sight of that.I've added back my weight routine along with teaching my spinning class. My next hurdle is the 6 day commitment. I've been inspired to reach deep inside my resolve and just do it! Fantastic read; fun and extremely important information shared. I'm gonig to wear out,not rust out!
Younger Next Year September 27, 2009 Little Pecan (Houston) If you don't like to exercise you should read this book. It explains in laymens' terms and also more sophisticated terms (if you are interested) why exercise actually keeps your body from dying slowly until you actually die of some awful disease or mental disorder. If you want to live a full, happy, life until you die then you might want to pick up this book. It is an easy, fast, motivating read and though you won't actually get younger - you will feel younger!
Younger Next Year for Women August 28, 2009 Terry F. Sweeney This was one of the best books I have read in a long time about women, aging, health and wellness. I loved Chris's humor and Dr. Harry's science was down to earth, understandable and just darned fascinating. At 52, this book affirms that getting older, or the next third as they refer to it, is something to look forward to and not to dread. The book is an inspiration and I have told all of my friends and sisters about it!
Wow!! August 24, 2009 Book Lover (SC) What a wonderful read! I found this book to be well written and very entertaining. I knew most of the things the authors discuss but their writing is fun and kept me turning the pages. It has been a great motivator for me to do what I've known I should be doing. Now going to the gym is my job. I enjoy exercising and thinking about the good things happening inside my body. I'm telling all my friends to read this book. Onward and upward! I'm getting younger and enjoying it.
