Portrait of good looking afro woman points away on blank space, smiles pleasantly, wears top and shorts, copy space against white wall. To the best self. Does any sane well-informed adult in our culture NOT know this stuff know by now????? Part 1 ends with a short chapter about booze.

The whole thing seems a bit muddled. The author proclaims alcohol "among the great joys of my life" but gives the rest of us a pretty straightforward picture of the benefits and perils of alcohol consumption. Turns out that a moderate amount per day is healthy.

Seems like his warnings of late-in-life-alcohol abuse ought to be applied to his martini-loving self. As for me I've finally moved into the last part of the book, the part about emotion, attitude, relationships etc. Should be interesting. It's better to burn out than it is to rust My My Hey Hey Getting near the end now and it's all about attitude. I see that Mr.

Crowley also added the same type of book for women a few years later. Let's face it Hence the difference in life expectancy. Abraham in Maine. THAT was a special day Apr 23, Clif Hostetler rated it liked it Shelves: health-and-selfhelp. This book is co-authored by two men. I say male ego because this book is specifically aimed at men who are 50 or over contemplating retirement, growing old, and dying. The promise of this book is that if the male reader gets with the program they can live, as indicated by the book's subtitle, "Like 50 U This book is co-authored by two men.

The promise of this book is that if the male reader gets with the program they can live, as indicated by the book's subtitle, "Like 50 Until You're 80 and Beyond. The combination of the book's scientific and macho messages provides the psychological effect of a cheering crowd encouraging the reader to head for the gym, eat healthy, and be gregarious and passionate about life. Well, it's true that Crowley says a lot of things that tend to be a bit over the top.

But I blew that stuff off as hyper-motivational talk. There's a section of the book titled "Chasing the Iron Bunny" in which the book emphasizes the importance of living in retirement within your means. Regarding the subject of food, this book says "don't go on a diet" because they never work. Instead stop eating "crap" and eat appropriate serving sizes.

This together with a physically active lifestyle will allow the body's weight to take care of itself. Then the book proceeds to contradict its own advice by telling the reader to not eat potatoes, rice and pasta because of the carbohydrates.

That sounds like a diet to me. In general, I pretty much already comply with their recommended lifestyle less expensive sporting activities. So I received much of their message as affirmation of things I'm already doing. But there were plenty of suggestions throughout the book that I will consider making part of my own life.

But I think I'll continue eating potatoes, rice and pasta as a part of a balance diet in spite of the book's condemnation of carbohydrates. These authors also have published another version of this book aimed at women titled Younger Next Year for Women. Mixing accessible science and convincing personal testimony, the authors give an easy-to-follow blueprint for healthful, zestful longevity: keeping the body vital, even turning back the clock, and, equally important, exercising the mind and satisfying the need for social connection.

The medical community and a legion of enthusiastic readers made this book a deserving bestseller. Workman Publishing, View all 3 comments. Feb 17, Jill rated it really liked it. I picked up this book at the library without realizing that it is specifically directed at men; however the advice is surely universal. I just noticed that there is a version directed at women, so I will be checking that one out next. As an aging baby boomer who is seeing the gradual decline of "middle age" an age which I'm sure now lasts until 70 , I'm interested in learning more about what I can do to halt the inevitable decline.

By now, we've all watched our parents, aunts and uncles die off I picked up this book at the library without realizing that it is specifically directed at men; however the advice is surely universal. By now, we've all watched our parents, aunts and uncles die off - sometimes due to a single dramatic health event heart attack, cancer More than anything, we want that process to be more like a cliff than a gradual dwindling.

Crowley and Lodge team up in this entertaining and educational book to tell us how that can happen. There's no new science here, but there is plenty of good advice and supporting evidence for the claims, presented in an approachable and humorous manner. The "rules" are quite simple: exercise at least 6 times a week, stop eating crap and connect and commit.

I know that I'm already following those rules to an extent; however after reading the book I've realized that I need to step up my game. More fruits and veggies daily, increase the intensity of exercise, get out more and involved in as many engaging activities as possible.

The book should ideally be read by someone in their late 40's or early 50's, just as the relentless march of time is starting to have their effect on our bodies - metabolism slows down, the extra pounds creep on, the demands of family and career force exercise and caring for ourselves to take a back seat.

But as Crowley repeats throughout the book, it's never too late to start! I've deducted one star because I felt that the material could have presented in a more concise and organized manner. Some chapters are quite repetitive of previously presented information.

A few graphs and charts would have made it easier to understand resting heart rate and the various target heart rates so that everyone doesn't have to do the math themselves. Nov 04, Walt rated it it was amazing. A friend who unbeknownst to me hadn't read it mentioned this book, I like to see what my friends are up to, so I read it.

Wow, I was ready as the jacket blurb warns , this book has changed my life. The wisdom of this book can be summed up as follows: 1. Engage in daily demanding physical activity-tell your body to grow. Don't engage in daily demanding physical activity-tell your body to decay. You'll notice that I didn't use the word exercise here, that was on purpose because th A friend who unbeknownst to me hadn't read it mentioned this book, I like to see what my friends are up to, so I read it.

You'll notice that I didn't use the word exercise here, that was on purpose because this is not as the authors submit and I confirm and exercise or diet book. How can any book with a chapter title called 'Stop Eating Crap' really be called a diet book? This book is best read with salt and a sense of humor. Written by a doctor who from my lay perspective has some very interesting things to say about how our bodies work and a raconteur, it's chapters alternate nicely between stories about living well after fifty albeit sometimes with a wee bit extra testosterone-which is probably why they came out with the sequel for women and what's going on under your skin.

I admit, I've followed through on a variety of suggestions in this book and my personal results have been impressive, if I don't mind saying so myself, lol. Must reading reading for all humans over 50, especially those who have something left in the tank. Nov 04, Andrea Haverland rated it really liked it. Give this book to every man you care about. Already confirms the way I've lived most of my life, and I look at least ten if not fifteen yrs younger than I am; depends upon pt of reference The best news is that even joint pain improves if one doesn't shy away from the challenge of exercise.

Just bought my new Nikes today. Funny, but I keep hearing a voice in my head chanting, "10K, 10K, 10K Foto taken just 2 yrs ago in Gr Give this book to every man you care about. Jan 21, Brad Lyerla rated it it was ok. You don't need to read this. All you need to know is that there is compelling science showing that most of us can maintain the equivalent health and fitness of a 50 year old until we are 80 by exercising, eating better, having sex and being happy.

The surprise is that an 80 year old can be every bit as fit as a 50 year old. But the authors swear it's true and cite a lot of data to support the assertion. One other surprise might be that you have to work out six days a week. And at least two You don't need to read this.

And at least two of your work outs each week should include weight lifting. Less surprising, but also noteworthy is that you can eat meat. Lots of it if you like. What you shouldn't eat is bread, cereal, desert, pasta and other simple carbs. Green veggies and protein are preferred. Other veggies and fruit are good too, but in smaller amounts. I think that's it. Don't buy the book. Just change your life to do as I just outlined and you will be healthier than you imagined possible and enjoy a much higher quality of life as you age past Aug 25, Graeme Newell rated it it was amazing Shelves: audible.

This is one of the most important books that I ever read. The information is as relevant today as it was back then. I got so inspired by this book that after reading it I completely changed my eating and exercise habits to follow the regiment. I lost 25 pounds, and got strong and fit.

And the good news is that n This is one of the most important books that I ever read. I used to catch every malady that came down the pike, but now I rarely get sick. They made the journey fun and presented some pretty convincing evidence why these changes are so important. That was a pretty sobering thought. Thank you Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge.

Your book inspired me to completely change my life and awakened me to how a few key changes can make such a huge difference. View all 4 comments. Jul 09, Brian Morton rated it really liked it. While this book was meant for 50plus retirees, it shared valuable information on how you should live in order to ebb the incoming tide of aging. Basically it said there are four musts to staying young.

Exercise at least 4 days of cardio, 2 days of weights a week 2. Don't eat things you know you shouldn't fast food, trans fats, refined starches,etc 3. Be a part of a social group. Find something you are passionate about and do it. How the body is disconnected from the brain and the way we communicate with it is through exercise and proper nutrition.

How there is actually good decay of our bodies which is caused by vigorous exercise and how it triggers growth. A quick read which was well worth it.

Dec 19, Jon Spoelstra rated it it was amazing Shelves: health. This is probably the most important book I've read in the lasts decade. It talks plain sense on how to be younger next year. I adopted many of their suggestions with terrific results. I've also handed out this book to geezer friends of mine so that they won't give up golf because of getting old I need their money.

You can get it in paper or on Amazon Kindle. There's a separate edition for men and women. Buy it now so that you can have years reading all the fun books out there. Dec 07, Siah rated it really liked it. I wanted to hate this book. I honestly did. A self help book with that title should be for sure about snake oils.

But I honestly feel the authors are lit. Sure, The authors alternate between juicy and fluff chapters. All of the chapters written by the doctor are interesting and all of the chapters by the lawyer are just pure garbage. But again I loved a few chapters so much that made a book worth reading. The takeaway is: exercise six days a week, do weights two days a week and no more, build a I wanted to hate this book.

The takeaway is: exercise six days a week, do weights two days a week and no more, build a strong community. Love your partner, cuddle. I am still way younger than 50 so the chapters about needing to hit the viagra bottle after the 50s was pretty scary. Overall was a great book. Oct 15, Ross Oliveira rated it it was ok. Now, if you follow the advice in the book you will do well.

This was a gift from my boss; otherwise, it would not be something I would read. Personalised workout plans developed by Lisa, tailored to your goals.
