How To Be “Younger Next Year” With Exercise

I’m back from the gym and finished my aerobic exercise with 20 minutes on the elliptical. My heart rate was at 70 percent to 85 percent of my target a high-endurance workout. I also completed some strength training and stretching with an hour yoga class .

Dr. Henry S. Lodge (also known as Harry) and Chris Crowley, authors of the Younger Next Yearseries, would be proud. Harry’s first rule to help limit decay in an aging body is to “exercise six days a week for the rest of your life, especially during your life after 50.” I had heard about this series, but never read any of the books until I received review copies of Younger Next Year for Women and their latest, Younger Next Year: The Exercise Program.

If you thought there was no easy answers to getting Younger Next Year … um, you were right. It’s a torture. And it lasts the rest of your life.  Serious exercise, SIX DAYS A WEEK,  until death. How about them apples?.

But here’s the funny thing. We sell a ton of them and have, from the beginning. And readers write these amazing letters ALL THE TIME. About how much they like their new lives. And new waist lines. And the look. And the book. Weird. It is a teeny bit of a cult, out there.  A cult of astonishingly successful readers and exercisers who have simply changed their lives. Pretty neat. Pretty good fun for Harry and me, hearing about it almost every day, believe me.

The explanation, of course, is that this stuff works. It works like crazy, and it changes lives. Big time. And the fly wheel of the change THE FLYWHEEL OF THE GOOD LIFE – is fairly serious exercise, six days a week, forever.
