Younger Next Year
I've been reading the book "Younger Next Year" and have been raving (to my wife) about what a great book it is. She was going to read it after me, even though the focus of the book is decidely toward men. However, this weekend, while browsing in a book store, we stumbled upon a new book..."Younger Next Year: For Women". The authors have come out with a new edition! Thought I'd pass along this information for those of you that have been fans of this book. And for those of you that haven't read it...I highly recommend it!!! Frankp

OK - give us a clue. In one week I turn 67, and would love to stay 66 or even go back to 65. How do I do that? Hurry! I don't have time to read the book.

Unfortunately, we are the wrong gender. I know my wife got to 39 and never got any older.

OKAY - HERE ARE MY "CLIFF NOTES" FROM THE INTERNET.
Okay - let's review here a bit:
1. Exercise for 45 minutes six times weekly, both aerobic exercise and strength training.
I generally exercise about 2 hours daily, both aerobic and strength training. Is that OK?
2. Eat for nutrition, not for all the other reasons that people eat such as comfort, boredom, or easily available food.
Yes, I eat for nutrition -lean meats, low fat, whole grains.
3. Eat many fruits and vegetables.
I eat lots and lots of fruits and many veggies.
4. Care for and commit to a wide circle of friends and other relationships.
Yep, loads of relationships and friends.
5. Use your relationships to develop a support system.
Yep, as needed.
6. Have a passion in life, a hobby, a reason to get up in the morning.
Bicycling, music, singing, walking. They all "get me up."
We need to change the forum to 50 - and that's it. I guess I just retrogressed 17 years!
In fact, the entire book is common sense presented with humor and evolutionary principles with a little science thrown in for good measure. The message is simple:
1. Exercise for 45 minutes six times weekly, both aerobic exercise and strength training.
2. Eat for nutrition, not for all the other reasons that people eat such as comfort, boredom, or easily available food.
3. Eat many fruits and vegetables.
4. Care for and commit to a wide circle of friends and other relationships.
5. Use your relationships to develop a support system.
6. Have a passion in life, a hobby, a reason to get up in the morning.
This program should work for anyone who wants to feel younger next year than they do this year and who decides to follow the relatively simple guidelines. Although the book is written for men, the principles apply equally to females.
Superior penmanship and a broad sense of humor make this book an easy and delightful read.
A good book to own; a good book to give!

How about lemon ice cream or orange sherbet?

All kidding aside...if you are struggling with weight/health issues (and over 50 who isn't) you might want to give this book a try. Over the past 3 years I've made a fairly radical transformation in my health and lifestyle...it started with a visit to the cardiac unit with a heart attack in 2003. At that time I was obese (250+ at 5' 7"), sedentary and working too many hours. Over a 3 year period I have gone through a dramatic paradigm shift...how I look at food, exercise and my health is radically different...for instance, I don't believe in dieting, because eventually you go off them and fail. However, I let the results speak for themselves. Today I weigh 160 lbs, I just ran the Chicago marathon in 3:54 (I'm 52), I compete in triathlons and long distance cycling events and my blood pressure has dropped from 145/92 to 120/70. I don't eat sugar or refined foods (nor do I miss them) and I work out 5/6 times a week...I'd be interested in some of your stories...also what books have you found helpful? Frankp

With a good bike, and some dietary discipline, it's entirely feasible* to be within 5 or 10 lbs of what you weighed when you were 20. And I guarantee you'll feel stronger, and climb a LOT better!
* Feasible = not easy, but not rocket science either.

Glad about the carrot cake though.

The points of the book sound exactly like what has happened to me since I started cycling and eating healthier two years ago. I feel a whole lot younger than I did before that. In fact, my biggest surprise result from the cycling is how good I feel so much of the time.

But, those blueberry pie photos were "a bit of a treat" in the same caloric sense as a Big Mac Cheeseburger...both would require about 20 miles (32km) of cycling to burn off
(assuming no sports drink, energy bars, or post-ride beer ). And if the Monday Morning Weight Challenge thread is any indication...not everyone has "done enough work on the bike" (ooops!).
But, we all have our favorite treats (aka, "substance abuse issues"). I can walk past a blueberry pie, or enjoy a small piece from time to time; but if there's chocolate nearby...get outta my way!
