I am a former exercise instructor with a nuitrition background. I wish I had a book like this years ago to recommend to my classes. It's everything a person needs to get started and keep focused on the road to good health.

With my busy life I am glad to have this well written and easy to follow book. As a healthy eater, the recipes are well balanced and easy to follow.

This review is from: The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription (Paperback)

I bought this book and didn't know what to expect. I couldn't be more pleased! Although the excercises are for beginners, I make my excercises a little harder by using a higher resistance exercise band. The recipes have easy throw-together instructions and I like everything I've tried so far, especially the filo ricotta chips. I highly recommend this book! I also bought a copy for my parents who are both 70 and they love it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous resource forexercise and nutrition., January 16, 2007

This review is from: The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription (Paperback)

As a physical therapist, I was impressed by the comprehensive approach to health and fitness that this book offered to its readers. I especially appreciated the section covering stress and sleep, which is all too often left out of an exercise program. The use of nutrition and exercise in conjunction with each other, really offers a reader a lifestyle rather than just a program to follow. It is made easy, fun and very do-able for even the most sceptical. As I leader and director of a facility, I have already recommended this book to my patients and my therapists to use as a resource for home exercises programs.
