Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Crowley and Lodge rework their bestselling Younger Next Year (which targeted men) to address health and aging concerns for women. Former attorney Crowley's chatty voice alternates with internist-gerontologist Lodge's straightforward medical perspective. The authors promise that major lifestyle changes, including a six-days-a-week exercise regime, and a positive view of aging will make the "next third" of life—the stage after menopause—the most fulfilling. Because women live longer, are highly motivated for change and fear aging less than men do, the authors contend, they will reap great benefits from the program. Crowley and Lodge put their own spin on commonsense health essentials, with Lodge adding information on the latest antiaging breakthroughs. A variety of activities (biking, skiing, sailing, yoga) will likely make the intensive exercise plan more enjoyable. Although there is little new material, women may find the 71-year-old Crowley's cheerleading appealing—the old buddy tone of the previous edition is exchanged for that of a male "girlfriend"—and a great motivator not only for making lifestyle changes but for equating health with how one feels, not how one looks. (Jan.)

Review

A must-read for women...Dr. Lodge and Mr. Crowley offer a very clear choice: Do you want the thirty years after menopause to be good years or not? And then they explain exactly how to achieve the better option.This is an excellent book, motivating, good-natured and honest. Laura L. Forese, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, New YorkPresbyterian Hospital

5.0 out of 5 stars HANDY REFERENCE AND A FINE MOTIVATOR, Jan 8 2006
By 
Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Makes a difference!, May 21 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book has given me a different perspective on exercise and diet. I never liked to exercise, however, since reading this book, I've given it a go. I must say, i DO feel much better, and energetic, and I've been exercising for only 2 months. This book is very simple and straightforward. Nothing complicated about Harry's Rules. I would recommend this to any mature woman who would like a change in her life.
