Turn back the clock in just two at-home sessions per week! This scientifically proven strength-training program, based on research published in the *Journal of the American Medical Association*, offers remarkable benefits for women aged 35 and up. It effectively replaces fat with muscle, reverses bone loss, and enhances energy and balance. Many women experience changes as they age, such as loss of strength, fatigue, and increased body fat. However, these changes can be prevented and reversed! From the renowned research labs of Tufts University, this program has shown that after a year of strength training twice a week, women's bodies can feel 15 to 20 years younger. Participants regained bone density, increased strength—often surpassing their younger selves—and improved balance and flexibility, all without dietary changes. Energized by their progress, they became 27 percent more active. This book provides eight simple, safe exercises that can be done standing or seated, with fully illustrated instructions tailored to individual needs. It also includes essential information on muscle, bone, balance, and fitness, along with progress logs for the first 12 weeks and a complete gym program. Suitable for all fitness levels, this program requires just two short sessions a week to transform how you feel, function, and look for life!
Includes information on bone-density tests, calcium and other essential nutrients, exercise recommendations, medications, and diet.
