Strong Women Stay Young
by Sarah Wernick
Turn back the clock in just two at-home sessions per week!Based on results published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, this scientifically proven strength-training program:* Replaces fat with muscle* Reverses bone loss* Improves energy and balanceWhat are the years doing to your body?* Have you lost strength?* Does a busy day leave you worn out?* Must you eat less to maintain your weight?* Are your favorite sports less fun than they used to be?* Do you notice fat where there used to be muscle?These changes are not inevitable. They can be prevented--and reversed!From the famed research labs of Tufts University, heres a scientifically proven strength-training program that turns back the clock for women aged 35 and up--replacing fat with muscle, reversing bone loss, increasing strength and energy, improving balance and flexibility--all in just two at-home sessions perweek.Miriam E. Nelsons research created news worldwide when the results were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. After a year of strength training twice a week, womens bodies were 15 to 20 years more youthful. Without drugs, they regained bone, helping to prevent osteoporosis. They became stronger--in most cases even stronger than when they were young. Their balance and flexibility improved. They were leaner and trimmer, without changing what they ate. What's more, the women were so energized, they became 27 percent more active. No other program--whether diet, medication, or aerobic exercise--has ever achieved comparable results.Strong Women Stay Young shows women how to get the same remarkable benefits at home or in the office, working out just twice a week. Individualized instructions get couch potatoes started--and help exercise buffs break through plateaus. Significant improvements are seen after just four weeks. This major new book features:* Eight simple, safe exercises done standing or seated--no sweat, no special clothes* Fully illustrated step-by-step instructions that any woman can customize to her needs* Important new information on muscle, bone, balance, and fitness--explaining why this program works* Progress logs for the critical first 12 weeks* Bonus: complete strength-training program to do at the gymThis scientifically tested program is proven safe and effective for beginning, intermediate, and advanced exercisers. All it takes is two short sessions a week to improve how you feel, what you can do, and how you look--for the rest of your life!

Strong Women Stay Slim
by Sarah Wernick
Strong Women Stay Young was an instant national bestseller, a book C. Everett Koop, M.D., called "an essential tool for women of all ages." Now the authors who brought you a powerful weapon to combat aging are back--with an exciting, medically sound program to help you boost your metabolism and melt away fat. STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM is the first book to combine the extraordinary fat-fighting power of strength training with a safe, medically proven weight-loss program. Scientific research has shown that strength training increases metabolism--a key to permanent weight loss--by as much as 15 percent. What is more, Tufts University research comparing women who followed identical diet plans found that the strength-training group lost 44 percent more fat than the diet-only group. No matter what your age or fitness level, you can start tomorrow with six simple, no-sweat exercises you can do at home or in the office. You'll feel stronger, more energetic and vital almost immediately. And after just ten weeks of easy, painless changes, you'll be astonished at how far you've come. Whether you're fighting a few stubborn pounds, struggling with postpregnancy weight gain, or battling a lifelong weight problem, STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM has everything you need: Fully illustrated exercises especially designed for weight loss; Up-to-the-minute information about weight, appetite, nutrition, and fitness--explaining why this program works; A hunger-free food plan, including menus and delicious recipes from an award-winning cookbook author; Motivational secrets from sports psychology that boost self-esteem; Progress logs and extra guidance for the first ten weeks. Filled with inspiring stories from women who became trim and fit through strength training, STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM is your key to shaping up and feeling great--for life.
