Book summaryMiriam E. Nelson's mission is to get all women--especially aging women--to lift weights. After extensive research conducted at Tufts University, Dr. Nelson concluded that weight training twice a week significantly increased bone density in postmenopausal women, caused a trimmer appearance, and left program participants feeling happier, healthier, more confident, and more energetic. These changes inspired them to become active exercisers, which led to further feelings of contentment and engagement in life. In STRONG WOMEN STAY YOUNG, Dr. Nelson shares her weight training program, which consists of eight moves that can be done at home with dumbbells or with one's own body weight. She supplements instructions and research with personal anecdotes from program participants who regained their youthful vigor or, in some cases, discovered a vitality they'd never known before. Media reviews"'Strong Women Stay Young' is an essential tool to help women of all ages embark on the road to lifelong fitness and continue on that road for many years to come." |
