Fit and Sexy for Life by Kathy Kaehler

"Since the mid-1990s, Today Show fitness 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."
