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.

4 out of 5 stars Everyone should read.   July 25, 2010
Linda Wood,Linda Wood
This book explains how a person can be proactive, make intelligent choices, about one's own aging process. It is encouraging to learn that you have some control over the quality of your health and life as you grow older. Even 20 years difference in how you feel and look, and what maladies one can avoid. It is a very helpful guide.


2 out of 5 stars I bought both the book and the CD. The book is better.   June 24, 2010
L. Mraz (Alexandria, VA)
The copy of the CD that I ordered had tracks that were scratched and impossible to listen without great difficulty. I know that this book is supposed to get you going, but the CD readers were not as inspirational as I was hoping.

There were two readers and one was better than the other. It just seemed that the reader could have been more effective in presenting the material. It was downright awful.

4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Don't waste your time on this one. I'll sum it up for you "exercise 60 minutes a day 6 days a week".. There, now you don't need to waste your time on this book.
The good news is you can skip every other chapter if you still want to read it to satisfy your own curiosity. The doctors "side kick" takes up half of the book has nothing to say, just his old stories.... It's like listening to my 97 year old father talk about the good old days on the front patio.
The doctor doesn't have any new advice you didn't learn from your PE/health teacher in 6th grade. It's just the basics .. Like eat a decent diet, don't drink in excess... Don't smoke...& exercise... So if you've been living under a rock all your life and oblivious to the basics everyone has told about basic health, and are possibly mildy retarded ... you could need this book.
I've read dozens of health and nutrition books, this one has got to contain less information then a 3 page health magazine articles.
I really felt almost insulted at the extremes the book went. to "dumb down" it's content. Surely if these guys are going to write a book they have more knowledge then this, or maybe not.



5 out of 5 stars Gets you thinking and moving!   May 25, 2010
Susan F. Morrell
The owner of my gym gave these books out to all members 50 and older and I'm SO glad he did! It's not that all of the information is 'new' or offers a 'quick fix.' But the presentation--a scientific viewpoint in layman's terms and a retired gentleman's anecdotal accounting (actually found myself chuckling at his writings)-- is very easy to follow and provides a different perspective on how to address the age-old (pardon the pun!) problem of getting older gracefully and healthily. If nothing else, it prompts discussion and got me rethinking and reformatting my exercise habits. I ended up buying 10 of the books here at Amazon and had them shipped to my girlfriends around the country with a gift note saying, "So we can play in the grass together when we're pushing 100!" Thumbs up!
