    About this audiobook

    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.

      Entertaining as well as informative. Boomers could relate well to the examples given by the authors.
    • 3/5
      I managed to get through this excellent book despite Chris Crowley's cheery, jocular, sometimes grating style because it is (a) full of useful information about staving off the optional deterioration of aging and (b) inspirational. Henry Lodge's medical chapters are very thorough though in some spots already outmoded, and Crowley's advice assumes a rather large disposable income (skiing, long-distance cycling on expensive bicycles, and master's athlete camps are not for those on a limited budget). I admit that as a master's athlete myself, I have spent an inordinate amount of my own salary on training, tournaments, and travel, but I know better than to expect everyone else to do it. I recommend the book if you have a high tolerance for peppy lecturing.

      But seriously, "Old Fred?" Yeugh.

      Read/Listened for Fun (Audible/Kindle)Overall Rating: DNFFirst Thoughts: Younger Next Year for Women had a good message (mostly) but it was buried under joining a gym, skiing stories, swimming stories, and insulting terms that made me shut down the book!Here is the parts that I really liked:1: Exercise is key to adding years to your life.2: Eating right makes your body perform better.3: Knowing your heart rate during exercise will let you know how much you are pushing yourself.4: Strength training for women is key to battling some women specific issues that come up post menopause.Nothing earth-shattering but all good things to keep in mind. The rest (and I made 6 hours) was all chatter that was off-putting and buried the information. Overall I was not impressed.
    • 5/5
      Recommended by my sister - I really enjoyed the down-to-earth real life language of this book. It inspires me to want to improve my health and full of useful information - one that I plan to revisit often.
    • 4/5
      Younger Next Year for Women is written by a doctor (Henry Lodge) and his patient (Chris Crowley). I found this book to be an easy read, very informative and I recommend it to anyone who is worried that the second half of our lives might not be as fun and rich as the first half (and guys - there is a version for men if you want to avoid topics like hot flashes). From this book I learned that the gradual decay that our society associates with aging - osteoporosis, stiffness, arthritis, dementia, etc - is NOT inevitable. As hunter/gatherers, our bodies were not designed to sit behind a desk and eat chocolate chip cookies. We need to exercise - ok here is the hard part - at least 6 times a week. Now this isn't new information, but Dr. Lodge presented enough explanation on how our bodies work, and the consequences of not exercising, to convince me to change my habits. I have been recommending this book to my family and friends - don't delay or decay! Read this book!
