Product Description

People are serious now. They’re going to the gym and changing their diets. Hundreds of thousands of people are working on turning back their biological clocks, doing the exercise that can put off up to 70% of the typical decay associated with aging and eliminate 50% of the illnesses that afflict people as they get older.

Now, to make that promise even easier to achieve, comes the Younger Next Year Journal. This is a needed recordkeeper for every trip to the gym, or better yet, bike vacation or ski trip. Beginning with a short introduction to working out the Younger Next Year way—how to use a heart rate monitor, why keeping a journal is important, how to look at exercise as your new job—here is a 224-page fill-in book with prompts that help you keep meticulous track of your workouts, your heart rate, your diet, how you feel, how you’ve reached out to others, and more. In addition, the journal is filled with motivational tips from Chris Crowley—don’t skimp on leg weights, treat yourself to the best equipment, how to get your Significant Other to work out with you—and medical Q&A’s from Dr. Henry Lodge, covering the science of aging, low-fat diets, and more.

Customer Reviews

"Now I Get It"
This is a daily journal that will help you track your progress with eating, exercising and life-style, such as social activity, etc. It is easy to use and an indispensable companion to a great book "Younger Next Year" which also comes in a special edition for women. Highly recommend using the journal faithfully, because it will show you why your program is working - or why it is not!

TOO SMALL
I like the basic idea of the book and do use it, but the journal entry tables are WAY TOO SMALL!! There is not enough room to enter a basic weights regimen, too little space for diet info and WAY too little space in the ideas section.

KEEPS ME ON TRACK!
I am 59 years old and have just started Pilates. I also walk about 3 miles a week. I am glad to have a way of keeping daily track of what I am accomplishing by exercising and eating right. We are our choices --- and this book will remind you to make the right ones and to keep the promises you make to yourself. Pamela D.
