Product Description
Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next Year draws on the very latest science of aging to show how men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50% of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to apply himself to "Harry's Rules."
Harry is Henry S. Lodge, M.D., a specialist in internal medicine and preventive healthcare. Chris Crowley is Harry's 70-year-old patient who's stronger today (and skiing better) than when he was 40. Together, in alternating chapters that are lively, sometimes outspoken, and always utterly convincing, they spell out Harry's Rules and the science behind them. The rules are deceptively simple: Exercise Six Days a Week. Eat What You Know You Should. Connect to Other People and Commit to Feeling Passionate About Something. The science, simplified and demystified, ranges from the molecular biology of growth and decay to how our bodies and minds evolved (and why they fare so poorly in our sedentary, all-feast no-famine culture). The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift in our view of aging.
Welcome to the next third of your life--train for it, and you'll have a ball.

 An entertaining read and good for you, too. July 18, 2008
A very well-written agenda on diet, exercise, and outlook for those of us no longer in our youthful 40s. It's enjoyable because it is not a diet book or an exercise book. It is a personal philosophy interestingly told by an ardent advocate and backed up with enough science to validate his prescriptions for living a healthy and robust life into your 80s. Told from a male perspective, but applicable to female readers. I believe there's a female version out, but I haven't read it.
 Life changing book...if you can follow it's advise July 15, 2008
I've ussally don't like this kind of health nut book., but something about the couple of except pages sounds interesting. but this is one of the best I've ever read. (not really saying much there)
This is interesting , it talks about how and why people age. and how exercise at certain level will work. I took the advise and joined a gym. exercise 5 times a week. If nothing else, I'd surprise myself with what I'm capable now vs 6 weeks ago.
I'd like it so much , I bought 5 books and gave it to family and friends and the "for women" version for my wife.
This book is for everybody that is serious about a change. and for people that were at one time or another in their life an active person.
If you were never an active person. it might just completely go over your head.
The target audience is for retirees, I'm 43 and find out if I start to do all those things now, I'll be way ahead of the curve!
 Interesting if you can stomach the evolutionary BS July 5, 2008

It has been long known that exercising is good for you. This book drills that message home. I found it somewhat entertaining but also found the constant references to evolution to be very disappointing and I consider that portion total and utter BS. Still worth $5 though.

Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and SexyUntil You're 80 and Beyond
It seems with the advancements of medical science, the majority of us will be living well into our 80s or even 90s. What caught my attention immediately in this book is that if we want those years to be fun, to be WORTH living, there are things we need to do.
This marvelous book looks at the aging of the human body from a biological, cellular point of view. Now you might think that would make it a dry read, but it's clearly written in layman's terms with a large dose of humor, which pulls the reader right into the basics of why we age, and what we can do about it. These two brilliant men have collaborated on a book that is capable of changing one's life. After 11 years off the fitness trail, largely due to arthritis, I'm back on track again. I'd love to buy a hundred of these books and give one to everyone I care about.

This is an excellent upbeat book that needed to be written. I have always believed that exercise was the key to a happy life...and potentially a long one.
Looking around at the pains people have who do not exercise regularly convinced me that the small price of keeping in shape was well worth feeling great!
Henry Lodge and Chris Crowley have reinforced the ideas I have had for decades, provided new food for thought and encouragement about the importance of keeping in shape.
I enjoyed the back and forth writing between Henry Lodge and Chris Crowley. Lodge does an excellent job explaining the benefits of lifelong healthy living and Crowley provides ways of keeping in shape. Crowley focuses primarily on the exercising that he does. He doesn't adequately address the tremendous number of other possibilities for keeping in shape...but this is a relatively minor shortcoming of the book in comparison to the books primary message of how to live healthy and happy for a long long...time.
Overall, a book that is greatly needed for anyone wanting to feel great and live healthy for a long time!
