As people move into middle age, most of us get fatter. Since I was 30, I’ve felt that exercise was my path to good physical and mental health. Now over 30 years later, I’ve realized how important an early decision concerning this truth has been for me.
Around 10 years ago I read Chris Crowley’s first book Younger Next Year. I quickly identified with his message and put some of his ideas into practice. Over time, I’ve added more of his suggestions and have been waiting for his next book, Thinner This Year.
Now, not only is Thinner This Year finally here, but Chris Crowley and Jen Sacheck are coming to Lemuria February 6th at 5 PM.
Thinner This Year is very much about the science of nutrition and the role nutrition plays with exercise in weight control and losing those extra pounds. Chris argues that exercise IS an elixir of youth and can reverse the aging process inside cells. As I’m growing older, I want to keep enjoying my lifestyle. Thanks to Chris and Jen, I’m better identifying what matters most to me. They challenge us to take aging into our own hands. By sharing their ideas in alternating chapters, the co-authors’ enthusiastic approach to a healthier lifestyle helps us stick to our diet and fitness regiments.
This book is NOT about extremes. It does not cast severe judgement, it just increases your health awareness and initiates you on the path to better health. Exercise leads to weight control which leads to better health; the healthier we are the more fun we can have. The choice is ours. We choose how we want to age, it’s our responsibility to our body and mind. A balance of our physical work with our conscious choices leads to proper aging. Proper aging is rewarded with a joyful attitude.
Since I’ve read Younger This Year and applied Chris’s ideas to my own lifestyle, I have been better off. As I said in my last blog, I’ve never met Chris, so I’m excited to hear him speak and to thank him for helping me make my time at 62 healthier.
However, I’ve been a little sluggish getting started with my diet and exercise in 2013. I’m selfishly hoping Chris and Jen will give me a swift kick in the pants to get me motivated. Please join us come out and join me this Wednesday at 5PM for an evening of fun conversation about health. You never know, maybe you might get a swift kick, too.
