Finally, Common sense

This was a great book to read. Full of common sense and healthy advice. Denise's approach to a healthy lifestyle is refreshing after all of the don't eat this don't eat that diets today. I am recommending this book to all of my friends.

wonderful step-by-step approach

I think this book is fantastic. It has very realistic goals and outlooks. It would be beneficial to use in the way it is laid out. Denise encourages you to be your best and to take it one step at a time. She designed the book so you can set weekly goals for yourself in the five areas of attitude, beauty, health, nutrition, and exercise. I rarely buy books opting the check them out of the library, copy what i want/need and go on, but I purchased this book due to the simplicity and useability.

Must read book for being over 40

This is the best book that Denise has written. I am over 40 years old. My body is going through dramatic changes. This book does teach you how to take care yourself when you are over 40. It answered my questions that my doctor can't answer. Denise, thank you for caring about your fans! I am recommending this book to all of my friends.

You can get better with age

As a fan of Denise Austin's I had to purchase her latest book, Fit and Fabulous After 40 and I was very impressed with her book. I knew it would be good since Densie wrote it. It's so refreshing to have someone teaching realistic and sensible approaches to having and keeping good health. She is my favorite fitness expert and one reason for that is she's believable and real not some Hollywood star who doesn't have the knowledge and dedication that Denise has. I'm still in the process of reading her book and am enjoying every minute of it. I highly recommend it for anyone who really does want to be Fit and Fabulous After 40.Yours in fitness, Linda Snyder

This is the best "After 40" fitness book I've read yet!

I always liked Denise Austin's low impact aerobics tapes because they were sane and do-able. Now, Austin provides the same type of good advice in a book that is head and shoulders above other "after 40" books I have read. The theme of Fit and Fabulous After 40 is how to get into the groove of habits that set you up for great health. One important one Austin puts in the book is to start up a four-week plan for exercise. This is important to avoid a lifetime of fitness attempts that are just a series of great beginnings and no follow-through. The inclusion of Kegel exercises is clever. While you are building good exercise habits, you can incorporate simple but valuable pelvic exercises that pay off big time later on. Austin doesn't neglect eating habits and gives tips on avoiding trouble spots when you go to fast-food restaurants. Again, this helps you to build good habits. And there are tips for getting into the habit of taking the right medical tests for preventative health care. In my opinion, this is one of the best "After 40" health books ever written because it has not only the right information, but it presents it so you can develop good habits and keep them. Hurray, Denise! Good job!
