I wish I had read this book 30 years ago before I damaged my body with decades of running, teaching high impact aerobic dance and playing lots of singles tennis. Now, at 65, I am paying the price for abusing my body like that. Luckily, all those years I also lifted weights so have stayed strong. But Jim Karas' book encourages women to lift heavier and, inspired by him, I have and absolutely love the results! As we millions of baby boomers age, there is nothing that will determine our healthy futures more than eating properly and having strong muscles and minds. I can't recommend the exercise part highly enough. For diet, read Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
"A life-changing book" is what my 35 year old daughter told me after reading the copy of Cardio-Free Diet I gave her. Using Karas' program, she has very successfully gotten back into shape after her second baby in 15 months. I've lifted weights for 30 years but did lots of cardio too. I realize now it was the weight-lifting, more than the cardio, that has kept me in shape (plus a healthy vegetarian diet too.) Karas' book encouraged me to lift heavier and for the past several months I have been and really like the changes in my appearance and strength. And though I've been encouraging my partner for years to lift, it wasn't until he read Karas' book that he started to and he loves the results. We're both in our 60s and to all our fellow baby-boomers, I want to say, "Lift and stay strong as you get older and you'll way slow down the aging process."
