Riassunto

Miriam E. Nelson's research created news worldwide when the results were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. After a year of strength training twice a week, women's bodies were 15 to 20 years more youthful. Without drugs, they regained bone, reversing osteoporosis. They became stronger--in most cases even stronger than when they were young. Their balance and flexibility improved. They were leaner and trimmer, while eating as much as ever. What's more, the women were so energized, they became 27 percent more active. No other program--whether diet, medication or aerobic exercise--has ever achieved comparable results.
Strong Women Stay Young shows women how to get the same remarkable benefits at home or office, working out just twice a week. Individualized instructions get couch potatoes started--and help exercise buffs break through plateaus. Significant improvements are seen after just four weeks. This major new book features:
Eight simple exercises done standing or seated--no sweat, no special clothesFully illustrated step-by-step instructions that any woman can customize to her needsImportant new information for women on muscle, bone, balance and fitnessInspiring stories of women age 35 to 89 who transformed their lives with this programProgress logs for the critical first twelve weeksBonus: Complete strength training program to do at the gym
