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.

HANDY REFERENCE AND A FINE MOTIVATOR,
By
This review is from: Younger Next Year for Women: Turn Back Your Biological Clock (Hardcover)
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." 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. 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

Younger each day,
This review is from: Younger Next Year for Women: Turn Back Your Biological Clock (Hardcover)
This is a good addition to the authors' previous book. It isn't the usual blah, blah, blah, but scientific information which amount to common sense. I am grateful to the authors for keeping me and my wife young at heart. I was happy to buy for my wife this book as "her own" copy, after we both extensively studied the original "Younger Next Year". Another great book that I highly recommend is "Can We Live 150 Year". In fact these two titles should be sold in one package.

A Different Angle,
By
This review is from: Younger Next Year for Women (Paperback)
A friend, who is reluctant to recommend books, raved about "Younger Next Year" (yellow covered edition). After reading several Amazon reviews I ordered 1 copy for my husband and 5 copies of "Younger Next Year for Women" for myself and family/friends. My husband & I read our copies at the same time which generated good discussion about exercise & lifestyle. Both of us are in our mid 60s and not overweight. (My BMI is 23.) We have followed a Meditteranean diet for about 10 years. We walk 18 hole golf courses on a regular basis. My husband was doing a weight lifting program and I was going to a weekly yoga class plus walking outdoors. What we learned from "Younger Next Year" is that we were not doing enough. I wasn't walking fast enough to get my heart rate up and we weren't working out as often as we should. We have now set up a rudimentary home gym and plan to add to it. We have increased our activity both aerobically and with strengthening exercises. These books were the motivation. I found the evolution angle interesting and logical. Instead of just saying exercise is good for you the authors explained why. I was interested in why the friend who recommended the book was so keen on it because she works out all the time. She told me it helped her to deal with getting older. She read the yellow covered copy 3 times and now has bought the women's edition. Exercising for 45 minutes every day has kept me energized through a long-ish winter. I can certainly see how it wards off depression. In general, the book is informative and motivational. I gave it only 4 stars because it starts off a bit slow and may discourage people who aren't big readers.
