( ) I really enjoyed this book. I am baffled by the negative reviews saying it is just an exercise book. There is so much more to this book. Yes, the focal point is getting you to MOVE. We, as humans, are becoming a sedentary, obese society. As we age, we decline and so many live their later years unable to enjoy their life. I was in medicine for most of my life and have seen vibrant YOUNG 90 year olds and OLD 50 year olds. This book addresses this issue and ways to LIVE a quality life in your later years. Yes, exercise is the main thing. but they also discuss diet. They discuss the importance of social connection and even sex to living a younger strong fit life. One of the things I really like about this book is how it discusses the science behind everything. It made it a very interesting read and not just a do this get healthy book. Many of the things I am doing already since the divorce and my new job and I definitely feel better than I did 15 years ago. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is over 40 and even younger. We start declining at 30. What they recommend is not that difficult and can make a difference. They have a version that is not for women but is basically the same book. Younger Next Year is 408 pages long in a large paperback book. It really should have counted as three books! There is a lot of great advice for both men and women that is even more important to aging adults who truly do have to fight harder to be healthy. Lots of food and exercise advice. I felt like a lot of stuff was redundant and almost quit reading several times, but I found that I actually liked the back of the book the best. After the story ended, I thought the back of the book was a regular appendix, but it actually has more stories of how each of the many real characters in this book took all this health advice to heart and applied it to their own lives. It is a good health resource. Just be prepared not to read this book quickly or in one day. There is a lot of information to digest. Also, if you don't have a great Science background, be prepared to read even more slowly and research unfamiliar terms. I will use a lot of this advice in this book. I won't be able to lose weight as quickly as the fast track program they offer (which probably only athletes or people who have never had medical issues might be able to do), but I feel that slow and steady wins the race. The book even recommends that little actions are better than none. I really enjoyed this book. I am baffled by the negative reviews saying it is just an exercise book.
