All anti-aging programs talk about importance of exercise. Exercise builds muscle mass, improves balance, prevents bone loss, and boosts energy. In addition, it can help relieve stress and promote a regular sleep schedule, which in turn have a rejuvenating effect. But exactly how much and what kind of exercise do you need to stay young inside and out? Based on proven, scientific research, The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription gives you an easy-to-follow step-by-step program to keep your mind and body sharp.

The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription includes:
• an easy and effective total-body workout plan designed to keep your body as strong and flexible as a teenager
• recipes and meal plans to supplement your workouts for maximum results
• simple techniques to manage your stress and get enough sleep to boost your mental agility and keep your brain young
• quick tips to rejuvenate your skin, hair, and overall image to show off your new younger-looking self
• an eight-week activity map and nutrition diary to help you stay on track, and more!

The Anti-Aging Fitness Prescription is your key to getting fit, boosting your energy level, improving your mental acuity, and staying young in mind, body, and spirit.
