Book Reviews of Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and SexyUntil You're 80 and Beyond

Book Review: HANDY REFERENCE AND A FINE MOTIVATOR
Summary: 5 Stars

Using their recent bestseller "Younger Next Year" as a springboard, authors Crowley and Lodge now offer "Younger Next Year for Women." Obviously, there are different health issues to be addressed for the women and the authors have done so concisely, in easy to understand language, and with an optimum of encouragement.

As Gail Sheehy notes in her foreword, "Extraordinary...Use it as a kind of bible; reread a few pages now and then, to remind you of the central commandment: Jump in for the rest of your life."

And, according to the authors, the rest of our lives can be healthier, happier, thinner, and younger. Related in alternating chapters, Lodge and Crowley tell readers how to become functionally younger and learn to live like healthy, fit 50-year-olds when the candles on the cake say we're in our eighties or more.

We learn that 70% of what we normally refer to as aging is optional. In this category are signs of weakness, sore joints and apathy. Perhaps more importantly, we're told that 50% of all aging associated illnesses can be eliminated.. Sound too good to be true? Crowley and Lodge posit that what you have to do is follow the rules, which are

Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious aerobic exercise for four days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious strength training, with weights. (For how long? You guessed it - the rest of your life.)
Spend less than you make.
Quit eating junk!
Care.
Connect and commit.

Re the last rule the importance of being passionate about something is stressed. Can't summon passion? At least be very interested in - keep your mind alert. And, make friends, connect with other people.

"Younger Next Year for Women" isn't a book that can be quickly digested - there's much food for thought and action. Gail Sheehy is correct - this book's a keeper so that you can refer to it again and again.

- Gail Cooke
