Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy-Until You're 80 and Beyond by Chris Crowley, Henry S. Lodge, Gail Sheehy
3.0
There is a lot of good information in this book, but a lot of it is dated. And there are many tangents that could have been edited out. Most modern readers don’t have the same historical background from the mid-1950’s. And no one will appreciate the creepy chapter “So, How Do I Look?” Which is basically the author (Chris) telling you how much he likes to look at women.
The summary comes from Harry’s rules:
Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious aerobic exercise four days a week for the rest of your life.
Do serious strength training, with weights, two days a week for the rest of your life.
Spend less than you make.
Quit eating garbage!
Care.
Connect and Commit.
The book explains plenty of good reasons to to follow those rules and has some good suggestions, that are greatly improved upon if you have a fitness tracker. Some of the thoughts on connection may be helpful as we continue to come out of the pandemic years.
