Strong Women Stay Young

Miriam E. Nelson's research created news worldwide when the results were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. After a year of strength training twice a week, women's bodies were 15 to 20 years more youthful. Without drugs, they regained bone, reversing osteoporosis. They became stronger--in most cases even stronger than when they were young. Their balance and flexibility improved. They were leaner and trimmer, while eating as much as ever. What's more, the women were so energized, they became 27 percent more active. No other program--whether diet, medication or aerobic exercise--has ever achieved comparable results.
