Strong Women Stay Young
By Miriam Nelson, MD
This book is based on an experiment Dr. Nelson conducted wherein she
chose a group of postmenopausal women, none of whom were using HRT. The
oldest woman in this trial was 90 years young!! Coming to the gym only
two times a week, using hand and ankle weights, this group of women at
the end of a year had successfully added density to their bones, replaced
fat with muscle and improved energy and balance.
Practical information such as the kinds of weights to use and suggested
sources are presented as well as easy to follow diagrams of the workout.
Despite age or gender, improvements in health and vigor are attainable
to all reasonably healthy people. As in all routines that impact a woman's
health, a check with your doctor before you begin is called for. Although
the women in Dr. Nelson's experiment came to a gym, these exercises are
doable in the privacy of our own homes making this one of the very best
self-help books I have ever seen!
