Book Synopsis

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.

Beth Hill - Library Journal

Since the mid-1990s, Today Showfitness expert Kaehler has authored fitness lifestyle books, which have predominantly focused on the wellness needs of women. In her latest, she continues to offer practical, down-to-earth advice with her Fit and Sexy for Life Solution, which advocates a hormone therapy-free program for coping with menopausal changes in the body and emotions. The Six Day Body Blast is made up of three days of strength training alternated with three days of cardiovascular and abdominal workouts, with one day off each week. The exercises are demonstrated with photographs and written directions. Kaehler advises making five diet modifications that will increase energy levels, control weight, and thwart health problems that menopause can aggravate. A small recipe section is included. Tips for increasing contentment wrap up the book, and an appendix lists Kaehler's favorite web sites and resources. While there are many other books that more deeply cover the facets of the menopausal experience, this book brings the issues of greatest concern together in one believable and personable source. Highly recommended for public and consumer health libraries.
