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.

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.

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.

I bought the book following hip replacement surgery, which left me handicapped and I now follow the excercise regime laid out, paying
attention to the precautions which accompany the various movements.
This I have found to be very useful.

The procedure for calculating my daily caloric intake, together with the
Body Mass Index Table and the list of Calories Burned per Hour during the
performance of various activities has been very informative.

It is also comforting to note that the authors list the sources from which their data is obtained

This book is well done. Anti-Aging books come in all shapes and forms. This book gives excellent advice regarding this matter. The program presented is like a prescription (hence the title). You follow what is presented to you knowing there is science behind the advice.

The book covers a very important area in modern medicine. The aging baby boomers who are beginning to retire. So many have neglected their physical health (and diet) for too long. The book offers a practical program for improving one's health no matter what age. The book does not offer to stop aging. No one can promise such an idea. The book will help you control how you feel as you age as well as what practical steps you can take as time goes by.

The book is well illustrated. The book is written by well a known dietician and physical therapist.

This book provides a holistic and comprehensive program for people of all ages. The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription, safely, details important excercise, nutrition and lifestyle tips that are great for everyone. For example, there are informative charts that help you determine your BMI (Body Mass Index) or daily calorie intake; illustrations of body toning excercises, stretches; and tasty, creative recipes. Most of all, there's also an eight-week activity map and nutrition diary to help keep you on track. This is a great fitness plan thats sure to be effective conveniently outlined in one book!

This book provides great information for those interested in getting back into shape, or for those who want to add something new to their existing exercise program. The information is provided in an easy to follow, step by step format. It is also unique due to the fact the book is written by a dietician and a physcial therapist. As a physical therapist myself, I was excited to see this unique colaboration. I will feel confident in providing this literature to my patients as an adjunct to therapy.
