Avg Customer Rating: 
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.

Younger Next Year
Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and SexyUntil You're 80 and Beyond
Good advice, but mostly common sense. I don't agree with all of the information, but I took what was right for me. Eat right.Don't drink too much--except water. And exrcise-six days a week is a bit much though.
Interesting juxtaposition between advice from a professional (a doctor and a layman. The layman's writing was colorful and more fun to read.

Most Motivating Book
This is the most motivating book I've ever read. My daughter-in-law gave it to me for my birthday. It was so motivating that I have been exercising 5 or 6 times a week for the last 12 weeks. I have bought about 10 and given them away to my friends. I am grateful to my sweet daughter-in-law for giving me this book and getting me back into exercise.

Same as the other book.
I read the first book written by the 2 authors and hoped the edition for women would be full of information that would be useful to me as a woman. It was mostly a rewrite of their first book. There was nothing in it that I didn't already know. The only positive thing I can remark upon is that it had a pretty pink cover. If you already have "Younger Next Year", don't bother purchasing this one. You will experience deja vu.

Finally Sinking In
I have never written a review on any book or product, but this book motivated me to go ahead and share my opinion.
I just had my 39th birthday and have spent the last year on a quest to improve myself. I have read countless health/fitness books and subscribe to 6 different health/light cooking magazines. I am 40 pounds overweight and have spent far more time investigating a quick fix to my problem than actually working on it! Despite being fully armed with more health and exercise knowledge than anyone I know... I just could not bring myself to apply any of it! For whatever reason, this book finally hit home. I have been getting out of bed everyday and exercising for the past 5 days without complaint. This is an absolute first for me... I am not a morning person! I met with a personal trainer this week and will be starting on a weight lifing program. I am excitedly looking online at opportunities for fitness vacations and am considering a rowing trip for my 40th! I am grateful for having found this book in my late 30's... this book is not just for those who are 50 or 60!
