Product Description
"I have lost 50 pounds over the last nine months by eating less, moving more, and changing the way I think. I am 62 and look better and feel better and have more energy than in the last 15 years."—Ron T.
" I read the wisdom put forth by Chris and Harry . . . [and] my next physical blew my doctor away. I am 74 and in better shape than when I was 50."—Jack S.
"Not a week goes by that I do not utter a silent prayer of thanks that Younger Next Year came into my life. You guys are saving the world one body at a time."—T. G.
Announcing the paperback edition of Younger Next Year, the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, 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. These are the books that 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.

 If you are over 50 you will find this book fascinating April 24, 2008
I found this book, recommended by my doctor (he tells all his patients over 50 to buy it), completely changed my mental approach to excercise. I went from a once a week excerciser to once a day.
Illuminating, funny, NOT LIKE YOUR NORMAL HOW TO BOOKS. Written by New Yorkers who are sympathetic to those who feel they can squeeze by in life without excercise.
I NEVER thought I would excercise like this, but I am a convert.
Younger Next Year April 24, 2008
I'm not a fan of self help books but had to read this for an assignment. It changed my life. I've given out 11 copies to family and friends. It's a grown up book that talks in a language of real life. It gives you a way to think about how to fight illness and live longer with a better quality of life, not just exsist!
What and Why...On to the How April 12, 2008
Younger Next Year is wonderful. It tells us men of a certain age what we need to do in the way of exercise (Chris Crowley) and why we need to do it (Harry Lodge) After you have finished it read "The 8 Colors of Fitness" for help on the "how" dealing with the mental part. Together you have the "what" the "why" and the "how." and you are on your way to exercise success. I've bought copies for a bunch of pals and they've all been pleased.
Maybe not what you want to hear but.... April 3, 2008
Yep, you need to exercise pretty regularly. Otherwise you start getting decrepit. This book helps inspire the necessary actions in a fairly matter of fact but entertaining way. It is not a how to book but more geared towards motivation and how not to screw up your life. One thing it does miss though is the need for stretching to prevent injury. I still give it five stars since the message is pretty spot on.

Paperback: Each page fell out of the book as I read the page. OK for motivation to start a program. The new-age pseudo-science is boring.
