Lothian / Aurum Press, Melbourne, Australia, 1998. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: Wendy Wray. The sad truth of all exercise programs is that you have to follow them to get results. This one is no different, but its well-designed, progressive strength-training promises the fountain of youth in two 40-minute sessions a week. An extravagant claim? Yes. But many women, especially those between age 40 and 80, can achieve certain measures of youth: denser bones, better balance and flexibility, more strength and energy than women years younger. The guidelines in Strong Women Stay Young are backed with solid-though small-studies and thorough explanations of how ageing changes your body. Authors Miriam E.
