Book Description

Publication Date: March 20, 2007

Who says you can’t stay sexy forever? Kathy Kaehler’s breakthrough fitness plan shows you how to look and feel your best at any age.

Celebrity trainer, career woman, and mom Kathy Kaehler knows first-hand how women’s bodies change as they get older. Suddenly you don’t have as much energy as you used to and the numbers on the scale are creeping up. Maybe you’re feeling moody for no reason, or experiencing the first signs of menopause. But you can take control of your body and your life! In her new book, Kathy presents the first ever fitness-based program for managing this transition—and shows how to maintain your shape, your sparkle, and your sizzle through your forties, fifties, and beyond.

Until now, women haven’t had a good option for coping with menopause—and hormone replacement therapy, natural or not, comes with a host of risks and side-effects. But Kathy’s Fit and Sexy regimen provides a hormone-free way to fire up your metabolism, boost your energy, stave off hotflashes, and start feeling fabulous. With daily workouts that focus on cardio and strength conditioning, and a simple eating plan tailored to women over forty, her program gives you everything you need to melt pounds, build muscle, and decrease your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, breast cancer, and other health concerns. Kathy also shares her special “Take Five” workouts—five-minute blasts that offer a quick-fix cure to:

Boost your libido
Find more energy
Stop a hot flash
Sleep like a baby
And more

Packed with the very latest information on women’s health, Fit and Sexy for Life offers a completely natural way to look and feel healthy and sensational for years to come.

Kathy Kaehler's book is chock full of good basic common sense about dealing with health and fitness in your forties, fifties and beyond. Some of the exercises are a bit challenging for me - as someone new to strength training, some of the exercises with the fitness ball look downright scary. But generally good stuff, not that hard, good diet advice. I like it.

I had high hopes for this book, and was disappointed. It offers nothing new, just rehashes the same information that can be found in countless other health/fitness books. It might be helpful to you if you've never bought a book on this subject matter before, but if you've already read and/or owned books on health and fitness for women, save your money. I only wish I'd had the time to really look closely at this book before my 30 day window of opportunity to return it had passed.

I loved this book. Especially since I will soon be entering the 40 generation and there is so much anxiety and uneasiness of what will happen during the menopause period that it was very refreshing to read such a healthy, happy, and natural way of looking at menopause/perimenopause period... It helps ease the anxiety..... And the exercises are good refreshers and easy to incorporate into everyday life...Great book
