Dr. Michael F. Roizen has empowered thousands of Americans
to take control of their own destinies. How? His
best-selling books, RealAge®, The RealAge® Makeover, and
YOU: The Owner's Manual, have helped people reverse their
chronological aging by ten, fifteen, and up to twenty-nine
years by revealing simple lifestyle changes that have
profound effects that control their genes -- and thus
control their health and the aging process.
Chances are you picked up this book because you, too, want
to be healthier and younger. The RealAge® Workout explains
the importance of gradually phasing exercise into your
everyday routine, because even the smallest changes in
behavior can make you feel, look, and be younger. No matter
how busy your schedule, Dr. Michael Roizen will show you how
to gain the maximum age-reduction benefits from a minimum
amount of time and effort.
Before you take your first step, The RealAge® Workout offers
a series of calculations that factor in age, genetics, and
lifestyle so you can determine your overall status of health
and create a program to help you plan and execute your
goals. The RealAge® Workout then begins with a simple, yet
life-changing premise -- just by walking 30 minutes a day,
every day, you can roll back the years, significantly
improve the status of your overall health, and have more
energy to work and do the things you love.
After you've adjusted to this change in your lifestyle, The
RealAge® Workout will guide you through a series of training
phases during which you will steadily develop your
foundation muscles and eventually add a stamina-building
program to help you maintain improved health. You will learn
how to lift weights safely and effectively through
step-by-step instructions with photographs and
easy-to-understand explanations. Additionally, there are
charts that help you determine the RealAge effect -- the
number of biological years younger you become with each
change you make.
Along the way, The RealAge® Workout dis-cusses common myths,
addresses frequently asked questions pertaining to age and
lifestyle choices, and offers tips to actually enjoy, yes,
even love, exercise. So get ready to achieve optimal health
and be as young as you can be!
